According to this article, people are drawn more to people who seem happy. So when you smile at someone, not only are you sending them good vibes of hope, acceptance of others and happiness but you can also turn a complete stranger’s whole day around positively. There’s something about the smile that just sends feelings of happiness, hope and positivity to anyone who sees it let us not forget how contagious it is. I’m sure we’ve all watched Annie, the famous orphan, who always said: “you’re never fully dressed without a smile”. The following seemingly effortless gestures can enhance your inner beauty: Smile Being courteous means taking personal responsibility for the way our actions affect others. What if I told you that by merely practising the common courtesies our parents grew up drilling in us, you could shine your inner beauty?ĭid you know that by being courteous to the next person, you could instantly captivate and seem more attractive in the long run? TRY IT!Īs the saying by Kate Angell goes “ outer beauty attracts, inner beauty captivates”. They have little or no regards for the everyday common courtesies. I’ve heard people say, inner beauty is something ugly people say to make themselves feel good.īut inner is possibly the only true and solid beauty one should be worrying about!Īm sure we’ve all come across the prettiest girl in the room with the most f’ed up inner self and it all comes out through their attitude towards other people.
The campaigns are advocating for people to find beauty and comfort in themselves no matter what they look like advocating for inner beauty. In recent years, we have seen the rise of the “you’re beautiful” body image movement with catchy lines like “you’re beautiful, no matter what they say” from Christina Aguilera’s hit song.

You can only have so many plastic surgeries and so many operations to “fix” yourself: What happens the day it all doesn’t work? Certainly, there’s a risk that comes with living up to society’s standards of beauty and even worse pinning our identity, self-worth and self-esteem on our physical appearance. For example, during the Victorian era, the yardstick of a beautiful woman was one who had a slightly high BMI (Body Mass Index) aka “big boned” or overweight. The ideal beauty over the years has changed dramatically. Even in terms of science, I am yet to come across some conclusive scientific research that objectively measures it. Society has always determined what is considered beautiful thus no consistent or objective measure of beauty. I find this kind of beauty very challenging because of its fluidity. In essence, directly or indirectly, we are made to believe that our identity is centred on our physical appearance. We go out of the way to try and paint the picture that we have beauty through makeup, fancy and/or trendy clothes and for some even through plastic surgery. In the era of the Kardashians, fuller lips, bigger butts, smaller waists and bleached straight hair seem to be the trend.
