It's been a few days since the last blog but it was time for the computer to get itself some spring cleaning sort of. It's happy and cranking so now back to sharing some secrets.
So last time we talked about how we feel about our looks. Few people are happy with their looks and spend a lot of time either obsessing or feel bad about them. I heard on the Today show this morning that if we put spent as much time doing something positive as we do worrying about our looks, we could change the world. Hmmm....they're probably right. I sure have wasted a lot of time feeling badly about the part of my looks that I couldn't change. Sure wish I had used that time for something better. And now I am.
Not that I always feel great about my looks especially since I'm getting older (who isn't?) and starting to notice things changing. I wish I hadn't been in the sun so much. I wish I had thicker hair. The funny part is I did once when I was in my teens and twenties but I didn't appreciate it then because all I could think of then were the things that were wrong with me....not all the things that were great...and looking back now, some of them really were.
As I was driving the other day, I passed some kids coming home from school. One girl had beautiful thick hair, the kind that I had years ago but didn't really appreciate. Her face was broken out a bit and I wondered if she had any idea how beautiful her hair was. My guess is that she didn't because she probably only worried about her face.
What are your best features? Take a minute today and write down all the great things about you...inside and out. Hard to do? Pretend you're doing it for your best friend...or maybe ask your best friend to make the list for you. And the next time you start to focus on your flaws, remember this list!
