The world we live in today has a whole new meaning for beauty. We have evolved from a world where beauty meant white skin, long hair, thin nose & lips, and non-curvy physique. However, today’s women are receiving surgical implants in their breast, butt, and even in their lips. For many, cosmetic surgery or heavy layers of make-up is what define beauty. However, at Mackeline International Fashion Magazine, we believe that cosmetic surgery and heavy layers of make-up are temporary fixes for internal problems. If your beauty does not come from within, the confidence you gain from external fix will be temporary.
Here are our tips to feeling confident.
Exercise – According to the National Library of Medicine, Physical inactivity is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a widening variety of other chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus, cancer (colon and breast), obesity, hypertension, bone, and joint diseases (osteoporosis and osteoarthritis), and depression. (Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2006) Canadian Medical Association Journal are provided here courtesy of Canadian. Nutrition – Harvard Medical School publishes an article about the importance of nutrition. According to the article, “Proper nutrition helps keep energy levels up and protects against many age-related illnesses and diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.” Eating the right food and drinking enough water helps to flush our system and keep our skin clear and healthy. With clear and healthy skin, we can use less make-up. (Harvard Health Publishing, 2023).
Meditation – “Meditation can wipe away the day’s stress, bringing with it inner peace.” When you have inner peace, you will be more confident. Other people’s opinions of you will matter less. (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2023)
Love & Friendship – First and foremost, learn to love and care for yourself in a healthy way. Always surround yourself with people who encourage, inspire, and motivate you to do and be your best. Surround yourself with people who make good decisions in their lives. Aways do your best. Finally, as far as we know, we did not create ourselves. There is a higher power so be grateful for the body that you were given. If for any reason you do not like what you see in the mirror, talk to those people who you think look better than you. Find out how they truly view themselves. When we listen to the stories of many physically attractive people, we find that many of them view themselves differently than how others see them. Learn to love who you are. You should be your first BFF.
