Ellooooooo big and scary world.
Yes, ”Beauty is as Beauty does” but largely, as humans, we often innately ‘do’ according to how we feel. Our environment, organic or inorganic, real or imagined, greatly influences the way we view ourselves, others and the world, the things we do… in effect, our entire personal script. The way we view ourselves in turn affects what we pursue in life, what we strive for… or don’t; The way we judge ourselves often influences how we judge others. Not that we judge of course, but you know… hypothetically speaking.
Can your world be changed just by changing your outlook on life, your diet, your fitness level, the music you listen to… the books that you read… you skin care regime…?
Well yes and no.
No – because you are one of over 6 billion people living in this world and as much as we would like to believe in ‘The Secret’, some things just may be out of the three feet of personal space that most of are adamant about living in, but yes because most of us have been blessed with the power to affect how we view our circumstances, how we respond to challenges, how we fuel ourselves and how we present ourselves to the world.
I understand that, for some of us, this whole personal acceptance deal is neither a challenge nor is it an issue, so feel free to enjoy the pictures and throw my views to the wind. But for the rest of us lesser mortals, struggling with balancing the Grown with the Sexy can take us right back to those awkward highschool moment – ***grad anyone???***. You know it:
- ”I’ll have a side of veges ~ Potatoes. Ummm… no, no… the fries”…. “Okay no… I’ll have the fully loaded baked potato with extra cheese then. Thank you very much!”
- ”Gonna get a glycolic peel in time 4 da cruise!!!! OMG!!!! <3
- ”I don’t need sunscreen. I have built in sun protection. Besides, that goop makes me look grey.”
- ”Antioxi-who?”… “Free radi-wha?”
- ”Makeup Shmakeup. I always look like a clown. That mess is not for me”
- ”My skin is too oily to moisturize”
- ”Now if only I can lose these last 10 lbs dammit!”
The inner and the outer self. The Yin and the Yang. It’s all connected. It’s that simple.
Information helps us make better choices. We can do better.
