5 statements that will make anyone feel beautiful in an instant

MANILA, Philippines — When you say beautiful, it can mean many things. But at the end of the day how you take care of yourself, inside and out, matters.

It’s easy to put on makeup and wear the trendiest of trends, but you can still feel that you’re not as beautiful as the next girl. The great irony here is that insecurity is most unflattering. When you don’t feel beautiful, you feel self-conscious. You may slump your shoulders, avoid eye contact, and frown. But when you embrace every freckle or the fact that every girl has their bad days, it gives you that inner glow.

You can be your own kind of beautiful.

The best makeover a woman can give herself is a change of attitude. As Cheryl Tiegs put it, “Like anyone else, there are days I feel beautiful and days I don’t, and when I don’t, I do something about it.”

So sit a little straighter, tidy up your hair, smile a little wider, and recite these statements in the mirror:  

Act upon your self-love, even in the littlest way, and you’ll feel better already. 

As Martha Beck said, “Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld.” — Rappler.com
