Researchers have shown that there is not only a powerful mind-body connection but also a mind-beauty connection. Happiness, joy, sadness, and stress – everything you feel can impact your appearance.
As Marilyn Monroe once said: “A smile is the best makeup a girl can wear,” and that is nothing but the truth.
But sometimes even when everything seems to be going well, not every minute of every day we feel beautiful and appreciate the reflection standing in the mirror.
Everyone can have a bad day once in a while, but the thing is – negative emotions can take a toll on our appearance if we do not deal with them. So, we are going to share some simple everyday exercises that will help you to learn to vent, cope and uplift your spirits.
You will grow to love yourself even on a bad day and hopefully these simple tips will help to reduce stress and improve your overall health.
Be kind to yourself and the people around you
As Audrey Hepburn once said: “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”
Even if you are having a terrible day, feeling stressed or down, do at least one act of kindness either towards yourself or towards others. Being kind doesn’t cost a thing, but it’s likely that this one act of kindness will make someone’s day. Seeing the smile on someone else’s face and knowing that you are the reason for it – it’s an uplifting feeling and it might even make your day better in the end.
And remember the saying “what goes around come back around”? An act of kindness will come back around, and it might just happen when you need it the most.
Being kind to others or you will help to make you feel better and happier in the end and therefore it will definitely show in your skin, your smile, and your vibrant appearance.
Treat yourself once in a while
Remember that every good thing that has ever happened to you, every goal you have achieved – it’s all you!
You should reward yourself from time to time. Show yourself some love and don’t forget to pamper yourself as much or even more than the people you love.
Think of something that makes you feel beautiful!
If you think that your eyes are the most beautiful feature of your face, get yourself mascara with a lengthening and volumizing effect like PrimeLash Mascara. It will compliment your eyes highlighting your true beauty.
Feeling good about yourself will uplift your spirits.
Think of the things you love about yourself
Take a few minutes every morning to remind yourself of all of the things you love about yourself.
Maybe say it out loud. Or write some nice things about yourself in a journal.
Focus on your best qualities – everything you love, like, and admire about yourself. Think about the character traits that have helped you to get where you are today. There are so many great things about each and every one of us! Think of the moments you were kind towards others. Think about what a great and successful career-woman you have been or on the contrary – what a wonderful and loving stay-at-home mom you’ve been or maybe even both.
You need to love yourself and remind yourself every day of all of the beauty inside you. All of the positivity that comes from that will materialize.
Put the positivity out there and you will start to feel better and therefore – look better! :)
