Feel Good to Look Good

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

This effort in getting ready, is it for your own happiness, or to impress others?

Appearances + Yoga

The more we practice yoga, the less appearances begin to matter. We focus more on how we feel vs how we look to others.

Letting go of the importance we tie to appearances allows us to be more present and open to absorbing the greater lessons to be learned - on and off the yoga mat.

Showtime!

Hair by Blushes; L'Oreal Colour Trophy

I recently participated in a hair competition as a model, giving others control over my looks. As confident as I was feeling, I began to experience anxiety as my hair went from a natural brown, to blond, to bright orange.

When I entered backstage and saw a room filled with actual models, I began comparing myself to others. I quickly learned that there will always be someone taller than me, prettier than me, etc.

What matters is one simple thing: confidence.

Be You

My look didn't place in the completion, however, I discovered a new kind of confidence by letting go of the importance I tied to my hair making me beautiful.

What makes us beautiful isn't how we look, but rather who we are.

Love yourself just the way you are, and you will always shine bright.
