Beauty lies in what we portray and how we
project our self. Images of beauty are everywhere. There is no
proper definition of beauty. Beauty is in the eyes of the
beholder & could be anything from misty mountains to lines on
grandmother's face. It's perception.
In the developed world the preoccupation with the body and with
Beauty is intensifying and the Beauty Industry, despite nearly
thirty years of feminism, is a multi-billion dollar a year
business.
It's a well known fact that stress and the rigours of daily life
can affect the way you look. For decades women have worked hard
at keeping their exteriors beautiful. They have religiously
exfoliated, cleansed, toned and moisturised their skin, but
according to the latest beauty gurus, beauty really does come
from within.
For some time now, the New-Age jargon has taught us that looking
good comes from feeling good about oneself. If a woman feels
healthy and happy, her skin has a better chance of glowing.
Which is why, these days, hands-on beauty treatments are
designed to pamper the person as well as her skin. As a result,
at least 50% of treatment's effectiveness is down to the
relaxation, not just creams on the skin.
Natural Beauty - Enhance The Looks You Have
Visualization
You need to visualize the specific changes if you truly want to
change your look. What will any improvements you make look like?
See yourself with a streamlined body, healthier hair, clearer
skin, majestic posture. These changes are realistic and
attainable. Stay away from goals you'll never reach.
Don't compare yourself with someone you've seen on the TV or
movie screen or on the cover of a magazine. Accept your
uniqueness and capitalize on it.
Mirrors Boost Attitude
The quickest attitude adjustment is through reflection. Women
who have low self esteem often avoid mirrors like the plague.
However, mirrors can become a big ally.
Mirrors can tell you how you're progressing, in those little
ways that may not be noticeable to the casual eye. It is the
ultimate objective eye.
Do Everything Better
The way you use your beauty products will make all the
difference in results.
For instance, try to duplicate what you see and feel your hair
is shampooed at a salon. The product is always handled, never
poured directly on hair.
Add a massage to your scalp when washing. While rinsing, lift
your hair away from your scalp for about two minutes until it
squeaks.
Discover The Virtues of Vanity
Confident women enjoy experimenting as a way of relieving stress
and boost morale. Women who care about how they look are
fascinating to watch, and teach us about taste and glamour.
Vanity is a positive virtue, allowing us to fix our heads as
well as our looks.
Look Pretty Amazing
Don't worry about looking pretty. Look pretty amazing show the
world you care about yourself. Real beauty celebrates
individuality. Rather than running around looking for beauty in
pricey external products, discover within yourself. Make the
most of what you have. You'll learn to like yourself and that
will spark a light within.
Do One Thing For Yourself Everyday
Make yourself do it. It's the ultimate act of self-respect. Soak
in the bubble bath or read an inspiring book. These little
pleasures allow you to feel special. You can fake it if you,
until you actually feel deserving of it. Whatever you choose,
follow the action by writing down what you did and how it made
you feel. Make it your own "attitude file". Include stories,
quotes from friends and photographs that have made you feel good
about yourself.
Project Beauty
Feel good, feel pretty and that's just what the world will see.
If you feel ugly, that's what the people will see. Try to look
as good as you can. There are ways to live in beauty without
being obsessive about it.
Find Supportive Friends
What people say, whether intentional or not, make us feel good
or bad about ourselves. Look for people who make you feel good
when you're down. This person will give you compliment. If
you've done something different or if you're wearing something
new, they will notice it. Keep this compliments and they will
build your self esteem.
Listen To Your Inner Voice
Each of us has a voice inside our head that will give us advice.
This is like a therapist. It will guide us in the right
direction. It will calm us down, cheer us up and even help us
figure out why we're overeating or not bothering to iron our
clothes. The problem is that we often don't take time we need to
hear this important information. Schedule some quiet time in a
leisurely bath or walk, or even while putting on your makeup.
Treat this intuition as an inner cheering section.
Take A Break
At least twice a day, set aside five minutes to recheck your
make-up, hair, posture and clothing. No matter how impeccably
you started out your day, a touch is both necessary and
warranted. Take some deep breaths to renew and restore your
appearance.
