Love Who You Are


            A survey from the Focus On Health magazine, shares that many women are struggling with accepting who they are based on their physical appearances.  According to Psychologist Wisotsky, W. “A positive body image is crucial to happiness and wellness.”  In reality, being healthy does make us feel good and more importantly, makes us look good.  Personally, I think the key is to accept how we look first, and then embrace who we are by focusing in the beautiful features that makes us unique individuals.  What I mean is that if we can take a moment to visualize and consider, for example, the beauty of our hair, the beauty of our eyes, and the beauty that our smile can transmit.  Then we will begin to form a positive attitude about our looks.  Now, being positive is accepting our genuine looks which can be the first step into making the journey of improving (not changing, but improving), our appearance in a more natural, or happily manner.  My final thought is that being beautiful is in all of us, but we need to be able to visualize it.
