Enhancing one’s beauty from the superficial approach only can be very limiting. Yes, eating healthy and exercise will do the trick to look and physically feel great but when I began to feel and perceive myself confident and beautiful I became radiant!  Injecting positive self talk, creative visualization and stress management with my clean eating and physical activity not only improved my physical state, but my outer life’s affairs had a more harmonious flow as well. I became healthier, fit, glowing and magnetic. It was this personal experience that made me realize 2 things. 1-that true undeniable beauty emanates from within and, 2-that confidence begets beauty.

I used to believe that beautiful women were automatically confident because after all they’re beautiful!  I was soon schooled by life that wasn’t always the case. We all have met gorgeous women who don’t seem to see in themselves what everyone else does and then we have seen women where we can’t seem to put our finger on why she is so attractive; but no one can keep their eyes off of her. In addition to physical self-care a woman's attractiveness reflects from her having a beautiful spirit, a healthy self -image and impenetrable self-worth. A positive self-image and strong self-worth both lead to one feeling empowered. When we see ourselves in a positive and grounded light we lessen the chances of needing excessive validation from something or someone outside of ourselves; therefore very little can keep us deflated for long, if at all. Have you ever noticed how beautiful people seem so powerful and how confident people are often very attractive? Being beautiful without confidence cannot stand firm while being confident allows our natural beauty to shine brighter. In what ways is your confidence boosted and in what ways do you boost your own confidence? Be beautiful. Be confident. Be yourself.
