Goal: Increase self-esteem for inner beauty.

Welcome to Day 2 of 10 Days to Ultimate Beauty.

We all know that beauty is important both in and out, yet few of us actually practice it.

The biggest thing you can do for your inner beauty is to increase your self-esteem. But how can we increase something so important as that? The answer: stop focusing on things you don’t like about yourself.

Once you start focusing on what’s good about you, both inside and out, you’ll have better self-esteem. Your inner beauty will begin to shine through.

Today, you’re going to work on your inner beauty.

Making a List of Your Inner and Outer Beauty

What makes you beautiful? What do you like about yourself?

I’m sure you have things about yourself that you don’t like about yourself. Today, don’t even think about those things. I’m serious. Today is about positivity.

Assignment Day 2: Make a list of all of the things you like about yourself, both inside and out. List the things that make you beautiful and unique. To set in the mood, turn on music that makes you happy while you make the list. For me, it’s “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves and “Sail Away” by Styx.

Fill the list with physical and internal attributes about yourself that you like. Here are a few examples from my own list (picture to the right):

• My curly hair and swideswept bangs
• My positive attitude
• My BIG FAT LIPS
• My awesome laugh
• My adorable FEET
• My amazing self-control

Make this list as long as possible. Think of every little thing about yourself and write it down.

Extra Credit: Now that you have your list, dress it up. Draw it out with colorful markers on poster board or print it out on nice paper. Put it where you can see it often, like on the wall in your bedroom or on the refrigerator. Make it a piece of art that will always remind you of how AWESOME YOU ARE.

Did you make a list? What kinds of things made the list? Was this hard for you? Did you put it on the wall? Let us all know in the comments!
