Feeling Special – 5 Reasons Why You Are Truly Beautiful

by César.

Article by Rod Nicholson

I was watching on television documentary the other day in which a group of young teenage girls being asked what they liked and didn't like about themselves. Each girl was able to quickly list a myriad of traits and features (especially physical ones) which they didn't like about themselves. When it came to listing things they liked about themselves, responses ranged from silence to uncomfortable mumblings.

It strikes me as very sad they we live in a society where saying something positive and confident about yourself is so challenging. Its ironic that in such an individualistic culture that prides itself on the idea of 'being different' that anyone who might present them selves as genuinely special could be seen as being 'big-headed.'

This gave me an idea to try and find 5 things that make you truly beautiful

You are truly beautiful – A recent NBC survey found the most attractive quality in a person for both men and women was a smile. Regardless of whiteness or quality of teeth, respondents immediately found the smiling person more attractive than a non-smiling person. Even better, each person's smile is completely unique. So, you are uniquely beautiful. So, forget weight watchers or fad exercise machines. All you need to do is turn that frown upside down.

You have a good heart – I am speaking metaphorically, rather than literally of course. In a world ravaged by war, famine and other social ills it might be easy to think that we are pretty selfish people. Scientific research has shown that infants as young as 18 months show altruistic behaviour, showing that we have a natural tendency towards altruism. Whenever you get down on yourself or think you haven't don't the right thing – remember you are a naturally good person.

You are as vast as the night sky – While we might marvel at glowing stars of the night sky, the human brain is equally compelling. It is estimated that the brain has 100 billion nerve cells and more connecti! ons in i t than there are stars in the universe, which is about the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

You are a child of the stars - The kind of chemical elements you find inside the human body – hydrogen and oxygen in the water, carbon in our tissues, calcium in our bones, iron in our bloodstream, they've come basically from the earth because that's where the plants got them from. The earth and the sun, because they formed at much the same time, got these elements from preceding exploding stars. You are quite literally a child of the stars.

You are a natural healer – You don't have to be Reiki practitioner or doctor to help heal someone. Laughter for example has been consistently shown by scientific studies to support natural healing processes. Human touch has also been demonstrated as helping people recover from physical and psychological trauma. So, all you need to do is crack and joke or hug a friend and you can be your own natural healer.
