To start getting your health in order, start to eat properly, exercise and take the needed supplements and herbs to enhance your health. Then practice healthful beauty treatments to enhance your good looks. Finally, practice the things that will bring happiness into your life.
Polish your gifts from the Creator. Taking good care of yourself is an enjoyable expenditure of your time, not to mention a great investment that pays the best kind of dividends.
Polish Your Gifts
Beauty rituals bring together the art and expression of loving yourself, and can even be a spiritual experience, a type of meditation, as you deliberately, mindfully, take the time to appreciate yourself, your world, and your blessings.
The French have a saying: “Etre bien dans sap eau” (to feel good in one’s skin). What could be more important? Both on the outside and the inside, God’s creation is what we are talking about. It’s an insult not to take care of this creation. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. You are made of Divinity.
Creating harmony in our daily life is a great source of health. Balancing the aspects of our day between activities and rest, time spent inside with time spent outside, and mental activity with physical activity are life enhancing. Being near man-made objects and being near nature, being with people and being alone. If you live in the craziness of the city, be sure you get to the sea, mountains, or the forest often enough. It is important to set a piece of each day aside to reflect on and reaffirm what is important.
We need to see ourselves and others as beautiful, healthy, and happy and to live in harmony with ourselves first before we can live in harmony with others. It is important to allow yourself to visualize your beauty instead of focusing on your small imperfections.
Take control of what you can to be beautiful. First, you need to feel good.
Natural Beauty
Most of us do not look like Cindy Crawford, but all of us have inherent wisdom and beauty. I have seen many women who look beautiful because they take such good care of themselves that that effort, that expression of healthy self-love shines through.
Exude your natural beauty from within.
When you take the time to take care of yourself, it creates energy, a magnetic force. In other words, making friends with yourself helps you make friends with others. Loving yourself in a ritualistic way makes you more open to love from others. Expressing your appreciation for yourself makes it easier to express your appreciation for others.
Looking and feeling your best is beauty. Everything that you love is beautiful. So love yourself. Beauty is an attitude. Love is beautiful. Displays of kindness are beautiful.
Take the time to feel and be beautiful. Next time you have a big evening, give yourself just two hours of beauty preparation, and look what you can indulge in:
- steam or sauna
- mask or facial
- manicure
- full soak bath
- enjoying a healthy drink
- washing and conditioning your hair
- brushing your teeth
- applying body oils
- taking your time getting dressed
Try it — you know you are going to feel more beautiful. Beauty is not only in the eyes of the beholder; it exudes from you. It emanates from every pore in your body. It is in your presence, your facial expressions. It comes from your laugh, your smile, your kind words. Beauty is held in your eyes especially when you are looking at something that you love. It comes deep from within you.
How we see ourselves is imperative to how we look and who we are. Beauty’s foundation is self-esteem we all need to carve a peaceful place for ourselves in the world, a place on the planet where we feel as perfectly comfortable as is possible. We need to be mindful of any and all negativity, go to its source of pain and deal with it, and find a place to put it where it can’t create havoc, but yet a place where we don’t deny its existence.
We need to cultivate an attitude where we see our humanness complete with our flaws, where we can embrace those as well as our positive points, and cultivate acceptance for ourselves as integrated beings.
