Realize this: There is nothing wrong with the way you look. There is something wrong with the way you think you look.
Beauty is an attitude.
What you look like doesn’t bring you joy.
“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.”
Marilyn Monroe
You are not your face.
Work on your self confidence.
Confidence is really relevant when it comes to attractiveness.
“Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-break on.”
Maxwell Maltz
Practice gratitude.
We think that if we look a certain way then we will feel valued and loved.
My experience is that we often project our feelings of inadequacy on one part of ourselves, and physical appearance is one of the most common parts to scapegoat.
“Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?”
Brigham Young
When you’re meeting someone, don’t ask “What will they think of me?”. Instead ask: “Do I actually like this person? What can I learn from them? Do I feel good in their presence?”
"In 1974, French psychoanalyst and Freud disciple Didier Anzieu first introduced the concept of “the skin-ego.” The skin-ego, he wrote, is a “psychic envelope” that defends the body—and the psyche—from external aggravators. Skin protects our insides both physically and in figures of speech: Don’t let it get under your skin; I’ve got thick skin." -The Walrus
Besides Twitter and Reddit, skin care is big on Instagram, too. There, showing off a sheet-masked face is a performative way of saying “I take really, really good care of myself.” Scrolling past a friend or influencer in a weird-looking mask triggers a series of escalating thoughts: “This mask is disturbing. This mask is goofy. This mask is captivating … maybe it will make me look as good as she does … I’ll take two.”-The Cut
1 Peter 3:4
"Instead, make yourselves beautiful on the inside, in your hearts, with the enduring quality of a gentle, peaceful spirit. This type of beauty is very precious in God’s eyes."
With Love and Blessings!
