How to Love Yourself, Flaws and All

Awhile back, Angie Weihs @theagelessrebellion on Instagram posted a pink heart, saying “Love yourself.  Without your flaws, you wouldn’t be you.”

My comment on that was, “Flaws are the flip side of our good points. So just flip your thinking…”

This can also help you to become happier.  In “How to Be Happy Every Day,” I wrote about flipping the switch:

“Flip the switch” from negative thinking to positivity.  Start the day by taking some deep breaths and being positive and grateful for ten minutes.  Focus on the good things in life (and about yourself).  It will not only benefit you but also those around you.

Age doesn’t matter.  It’s never too late to forgive and appreciate your true self.  Remember to be nice to yourself every day. Continue Reading

What is the Beauty of Your True Self?…and a giveaway

“Beauty—or the desire to be beautiful—is in itself a dangerous motivation. Someone (I forgot who) once said, ‘Does the person who loves someone for their beauty really love them?’ So don’t focus on beauty . . . a respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul. It is the sum of our experiences that makes us interesting, and having been through a time in your life in which you were in a bad place (or what you perceived as a bad place) physically can be useful. It can even be necessary.” — Karl Lagerfeld (from “Karl Lagerfeld’s 6 Most Audacious Beauty Quotes” by Calin Van Paris, Vogue)

So Karl Lagerfeld says that focusing on presenting a respectable appearance is sufficient.  Your true self is what is the most important, of course!  And that’s what you want people to see, right?

Age doesn’t matter, especially when it comes to your inner being. Continue Reading

How to Make the Best of What You Have

Make-The-Best-Of-What-You-Have

In an effort to encourage you to make the best of what you have (age doesn’t matter), I am sharing a short series of articles that are inspiring.  🙂

The November issue of InStyle magazine contains an interview with Drew Barrymore, “The 5 Beauty Products Drew Barrymore Swears By.”  But what’s really important about that interview, and what drew me to read it, is the highlighted quote where she said:

     “Instead of beating yourself up about what you don’t have, figure out what you do have and make it work.”
