Beauty, style, fashion, attractiveness, magnetism and sex appeal
aren't just skin-deep. They start with your self-image - the way
you see yourself.
Do an Internet search, and you'll find advice on clothes, style,
skin-care, hair and lots of other ideas designed to help to make
you irresistible. Many of them are excellent, and well worth
using.
That makes it easy to believe that's all there is to being
beautiful, but the truth is that whatever you put on the outside
is just the icing on the cake.
What
really makes the difference, and puts the kind of
spring in your step and sparkle in your eyes that gets you
noticed, is what's inside... that means, the way you feel about
yourself.
Even for a supermodel or a movie star, without the ability to
project superb self-confidence, all the designer clothes and
make-up in the world would be a total waste of time.
Well, the great news is that all that poise and confidence, that
radiance and inner sparkle, all the qualities that draw
attention and admiration like a magnet, are available to
everyone - including you.
More than that, they're actually your birthright, simply as a
part of being human!
The keys to expressing the radiant beauty you were born to show
are very simple ones:-
1. Get rid, right here and now, of any idea you might have that
you're less attractive than other people. You can be as
radiantly beautiful as anyone alive - and it all starts with
believing that you can;
2. Practice deep relaxation for at least half an hour, once or
twice a day. This gets rid of stress, and boosts your energy and
sparkle;
3. Get plenty of sleep. Partying's great fun, but if you don't
recharge your batteries sufficiently it can take a powerful toll
on how you look (and feel about yourself);
4. Have a healthy lifestyle. Cigarettes, or too much alcohol,
junk food and illegal substances will ruin your looks as surely
as they'll wreck your health;
5. Take some exercise. Yoga or t'ai chi will tone your muscles,
change your shape (you get to choose the changes that you want
to make), and give you much more poise and gracefulness;
6. One thing the most attractive people have in common is the
ability to make the person that they're talking to feel like the
most important person in the room. The way to do that is to
focus on that person, not yourself. Make eye contact, and really
listen to what they have to say. Their reaction will make you
feel so good you'll really sparkle;
7. Choose a style that works for
you. You will
always look and feel much better in a style that suits
your personality than one that doesn't, no matter which
designer's name is on the label;
8. Make good use of color. Again, what matters is what suits
you, not what the High Street shops are trying to sell
you;
9. Hold your head up high, and walk tall. It makes you feel a
lot more poised and confident, and that will show. People who
feel good about themselves and how they look don't need to blend
into the crowd and hide themselves away;
10. Keep a definite picture in your mind of exactly what you
want to look like, and the graceful poise and radiant, magnetic
beauty that you want to show the world. If you hold that picture
strongly enough, your inner mind will help you to achieve it,
and hold on to it, as quickly and as effortlessly as possible.
