Beauty comes from within
Do you know the mysterious love story of the beautiful Belle who ends up in the dark castle of a terrible beast? With the help of the magical staff, the ultra-beautiful Belle, after an adventurous search for true love, ultimately falls not for looks, but for the inner beauty of the hideous beast. I'm of course talking about the classic Beauty and the Beast. A film that was on repeat in our home when I was a little girl and that I recently dusted off to infect my godchild with this Disney virus as well. It is still one of my favorite Disney films ever, partly because of the message it conveys. Beauty lies within and not in a makeup brush or a beautiful outfit.
A wise lesson we learn from the film Beauty and the Beast is that you create beauty from within. You do this very simply with these
fourteen steps:
- Be yourself.
- Live in the now and don't look back. Nothing is more beautiful than the moment.
- Healthy food makes you shine. Try to eat enough fresh products and plenty of vegetables and fruit.
- Enjoy the little moments in life. Help the old lady with her groceries or greet a stranger a little more often.
- Stick post-its on your mirrors with nice texts and compliments. Believe me, it puts a smile on your face.
- Do something for others and show that you are there for them.
- Try to say no a little more often and put yourself first.
- Learn to listen to your own feelings.
- Don't seek approval from others, but do what you enjoy or want to do.
- Smile. Laughing is healthy and makes you even prettier than you already are.
- Get enough rest. Sleep at least 7-8 hours a night to prevent dark circles.
- Be positive. Missed the train? Then take the next one! There are worse things in the world, so don't dwell on the negative.
- Be grateful for what you have in life. Because that's more than you think...
- Accept that not everyone likes you. Act from yourself and from your feelings. Then you will radiate that as well.
Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes...
Go see Beauty and the Beast, starting March 29 at your local cinema.
