Beauty is on the inside

“I’m not happy the way I am”, “I have a body that I don’t like”, “I don’t look good”, “I hate my teeth, my chest, my hips”, “I have a lot of extra kilos”, “I haven’t been able to I have recovered my figure”, “I never get close to others”, “I am afraid that they will judge me”, “all my friends have a partner except me…”. Do these phrases related to beauty sound familiar to you?

This is the dialogue we usually have with ourselves. This way of talking to ourselves becomes a kind of self-sabotage that creates insecurities, reduces self-esteem and sacrifices self-love.

Now think…, what do you like about yourself? Your eyes, your hair, your kindness, your unconditionality… Surely you can think of hundreds of things in which, precisely, your soul and your interior are the protagonists. Think about all that and hold on to it well, don’t let it escape. It will help you not to self-sabotage.

Let’s not destroy everything beautiful we have

Why do we let the physical defects we see in ourselves drag down and destroy the beautiful things we have? Why do we give more importance to the negative than the positive? There is an infinite amount of beauty behind our insecurities, behind what we question and that makes us sick with fear.

Sometimes we become what we think and, with these beliefs, we put on a disguise that prevents the world from seeing us as we are. But There are times when even other people see the wonderful thing inside us before we do.

However, we do not believe them, we think they say it to please us or because they love us very much. Again, we are self-sabotaging, demeaning ourselves and taking away the value we have. All of this hurts us and causes us to trample on our self-esteem.

When we bring our complexes to light, what do we see?

The important thing is the soul. What is under the clothes, what cannot be seen. That which has its place beyond simple sight. The true beauty is the interiorthe only one that does not perish, the only one that cannot be taken away and that can only be seen when you look with the eyes of the soul.

It is that which is not measured by what we can see with the naked eye, because true beauty is an attitude. We live worried about appearances, about not being outlandish and about not clashing with the conventions that imprison us. That is what does not allow us to show the world our splendor.

The truth is that There is no makeup on the planet that can beautify an ugly heart. Understanding this is extremely valuable to strengthen our self-esteem.

A beautiful interior is built by loving life and getting rid of absences and negative feelings. It is constituted by enlarging our inner world, making it more extensive, eliminating emotional comfort and collecting our own motives.

A positive mental attitude creates more miracles than a makeover

DulcineaEstudios and El Hormiguero 3.0 have made an emotional video that It makes us reflect on the importance of loving ourselves. We do not need to create our external beauty with makeup and the latest fashion clothes because true beauty lies within ourselves.

Be soft, don’t let the pain harden you. Create your own beauty, one that cannot be defined in words and cultivate yourself with the small details. The key is there, inside, even if you don’t give it the importance it deserves. Look for yourself, find yourself and let all your inner light come out.

We have to be very strong not to get carried away by the whole environment that tries to sell us that true beauty is found on the outside., instead of inside. Let’s change our perspective, let’s rediscover ourselves, let’s see all the beauty that resides within us.

Time goes by

The passage of time wrinkles our face, saps physical energy, whitens our hair, but our interior goes in the opposite direction, it is enriched. There is no point in spending thousands of euros on surgeries if we don’t even know ourselves. What do we want from life? To be beautiful and please others or to be happy? “Pleasing others to be happy,” many will respond. However, it is too obvious a mistake. Answer: we can’t please everyone. End of debate.

Knowing that we cannot be liked by everyone we meet, we will begin to accept that we should not worry so much about being liked. This will make us look inward and develop. In this way, our Inner beauty will increase and we will really be much more attractive to others even though our physique is no longer so youthful.

In 2017 Solano-Gómez’s team carried out an experiment in which they verified that the physique influences when hiring someone. That is, the contractors were influenced by the physique of the job applicants. And what can we get from here? That No matter how much a physique can help us access a job, if inside we are not fit to perform the assigned work, we will not last long.. Taking care of our physique is necessary, but taking care of ourselves, loving ourselves and cultivating ourselves is essential.
