You Can't Be Beautiful Unless You're Healthy

So you want to be beautiful. But how does one achieve true inner and outer beauty? The first step to achieving true beauty is really quite simple. To be beautiful on the outside, you must make sure you're beautiful and healthy on the inside. This is why it's of utmost importance to take care of your body's physical health, your inner health, along with your mind and inner self.Outer beauty truly is directly related to inner health and wellness. You can't have one without the other, so it's best to take a pro-active approach to your physical, mental and emotional health to be able to achieve that outer "glow" of beauty that has become so desired in today's society. But make sure you're realistic. You aren't achieving outer beauty if your objective is simply to LOOK more beautiful.True outer beauty comes with a sense of acceptance of self, a true peaceful spirit and a lack of obsession over physical appearance. One can't be beautiful if they are obsessed with being beautiful. If you try to use and follow every beauty tip you've ever come across or are told, then you won't succeed in becoming beautiful- you'll only drive yourself crazy in the attempt to achieve beauty.Society's obsession with beauty is based on the superficial, and those who are beautiful and healthy tend to not be noticed as often. As unfair as it may be, it's even more unfair to worry yourself to death or obsess over it. Developing an obsessing or striving for perfection will damage your physical and mental health, sometimes to the point of no return.While outer beauty is a good goal, something nice to strive for- it shouldn't be the entire basis of any health regimen you follow, nor should it become all you focus on. Embracing your own differences and those of others around you is key to being healthy, happy and beautiful. But you can't embrace your differences if you obsess and view those differences negatively.If your nose is "too big" or "too small," recognize that it's a difference that makes you who you are. If you feel you're "too heavy" or "too thin," realize that you are who you are. Simply strive to live as healthily as possible, and don't fret about the rest. If you find yourself overweight- living healthy, eating properly, and getting enough rest will work wonders and eventually your body will find itself going towards the weight it needs to be.And of course, you should always try to get enough sleep each night. Don't over-exert yourself physically or mentally, and make sure you're eating healthy meals and drinking plenty of water. Proper rest, physical activity and nutrition are of utmost importance for both your physical health and your outer beauty. Your mental health is also helped by maintaining proper nutrition and a good sleeping schedule.Outer beauty is directly related to inner health, whether it is physical, mental or emotional. You can't be beautiful unless you are healthy. It's much more important to make sure you are healthy and well rested than worrying about the size of your nose or your body. Take care of your inner self first, and the outer self will glow because of your inner health and well-being. That's true beauty.
