Inner beauty is what's more important.

11 More Things To Focus On Rather Than Your Outer Appearance
Kaeli Hearn

As I revisit this topic, it has never been more relevant in our society. Every day we are consumed by the notion of what beauty is and what it should look like. But, have you ever ventured into the headspace of focusing on elements of who you are rather than your outer appearance? Here are 11 more things to focus on other than your outer appearance.

1. Your laugh.

How cool is it that your laugh is not like any other laugh? Laugh and laugh often.


2. What inspires you.

What pushes you and inspires you? Channel that into your daily life and watch it reveal your inner beauty.

3. Your favorite things.

Is it baking? Photography? Sports? Take pride in what makes you happy and what makes you who you are today.


4. Your inner wisdom.

Yes, you have it. Go share it with those around you.

5. Your mind.

This is something I think we should all learn to appreciate a bit more. Our minds are capable of storing all this amazing, impactful information and using it for good — if we choose to do so.

6. Your joy.

What give you the most radiant joy? Is it friends, family, a certain place? Take pride in what gives you joy each day.


7. Your signature style.

What is yours? Fun, energetic, composed, intense, funny?

8. Your quirks.

I think this is another trait that you should own and love about yourself. It is the funny quirks that make you uniquely individualistic.

9. Your beliefs.

What you believe is foundational to who you are as a person.

10. Your aspirations.

Where you see your life going is a thing of beauty and passion.

11. Your distinct, unique personality.

You are uniquely beautiful. No one thinks, wants or needs the same things as you. When you find that inner beauty and start channeling that as opposed to the outer beauty, your life radically transforms.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
