How to be beautiful inside and outside

1. Exude health from within. One of the building blocks to being beautiful inside and out is to practice healthy habits. You are what you eat, and if you insist on consuming unhealthy foods or cook using unhealthy practices, you will not be as beautiful as possible both inside and out. Eating a balanced diet that includes 64 ounces of water throughout the day as well as foods like leafy greens, fruits, nuts, oats, wheat, fish and chicken will yield a healthier body inside and out.
2. Spend some time on your outward appearance. Take extra time to choose clothes that compliment your body type and shape, as well as accentuate your features with accessories. Ensuring that you have a clean and well-kept appearance is a must, as is taking time to exercise to improve or maintain your appearance.
3. Define and live by your own personal belief and value system. In most situations, we as individuals know how we feel about a situation despite outside influences. Defining what our own personal beliefs are and living by those values will align the body and mind. You will also seem like a more genuine person to others if you practice what you preach.
4. Respect others' individuality and opinions. Even if you have learned to practice the values you believe, your attitude can prevent you from respecting other people's choices to be themselves. Either through pompous arrogance or self-indulgence, disrespect of others is a pitfall that you should not fall victim to, as it doesn't make you more valuable or better than them.
5. Volunteer your services when possible. You can allow your internal beauty to grow by mentoring others in various programs, helping in your local community, or simply being a shoulder to lean on when someone comes to you for help. Not only will volunteering make you more beautiful inside, but it will add beauty to the lives of others as well.
