How can you be beautiful, happy and radiant on a daily basis thanks to greater self-confidence? How can I “be”, but above all feel beautiful and no longer care about the way others look at me? How can I help you look and feel your best by learning to love yourself?

Here’s a subject I’ve always been passionate about, and which I’m delighted to share in this article: self-love through the channel of image and the beauty of being yourself.
In this article, I’d like to give you the keys you need to feel better about yourself, and to feel as attractive as a femme fatale. If you’re wondering how to find yourself beautiful, here’s the 4-step answer!

WHAT’S THE POINT OF LOOKING BEAUTIFUL?

HOW CAN I FEEL BEAUTIFUL?
It’s easy to love yourself when you’re beautiful, rich and powerful. Even if some sublime women confess that they don’t have self-confidence, that they don’t love themselves. In reality, few people have all the qualities required. Perfection doesn’t exist in this world, and to find happiness, you have to go through the “I love myself” phase. With your strengths and weaknesses. But you don’t have to be beautiful to feel beautiful.

Whether it’s for a celebration, a date or every day, whether it’s the formal version, the sexy version or the natural version, in this quest for a transcendent self, there are more or less avowed and more or less conscious desires. One thing is certain, and all the surveys and experts are unanimous: we oscillate between self-acceptance and rejection.

Sometimes accepted, even appreciated, sometimes rejected, hurt. We loudly assert our desire to be ourselves, violently criticize the diet market and the media cult of youthfulness, but in reality, we’re ready to try anything to erase a few wrinkles or lose a few kilos. It’s as if we can’t give up a dream!

THE AMBIVALENCE BETWEEN BEAUTY AND SELF-IMAGE, OR HOW TO FIND YOURSELF BEAUTIFUL!
“Paradoxical” is probably the adjective that best describes women’s relationship with their own beauty and self-image. Firstly, because self-construction involves both desire and the desire of others, since we never build ourselves alone. Secondly, because women, more than men, are caught up in the incessant back-and-forth between the desire to be oneself and the desire to be desired by others. What woman reader hasn’t said to herself, “I’m an ugly woman”? As we can see, beauty and desire are inextricably linked, for it is in the gaze of others, which is cast on us from the earliest age, that our relationship with our image is woven throughout our lives.

From a friend: “Personal style is the antithesis of solitude. It’s born of complicity with others. I had a rather blurred image of myself. I floated around in my big student sweaters. It was he, and he alone, who enabled me to reveal myself, to know that nothing is sweeter than to feel beautiful in his eyes”, she says of the man in her life. The love encounter enabled her to lose two sizes. “I felt better. I felt like he was redesigning me, ‘resilhouetting’ me.”

I would add to this another key concept in beauty, which is consistency. On a daily basis, I notice that my customers want to bring their appearance closer to their inner self – whether that inner self is long-lasting or instantaneous. So it’s important to choose the right clothes for the image you want to project.

HOW TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL EVERY DAY?

When it comes to feeling beautiful, there are certain keys to knowing and mastering. These are the ones I wanted to share with you in this article. But that’s not all! I also wanted to go a step further and point you in the direction of the psychological side of things, because everything starts with the conviction that you’re beautiful.

THE 6 KEYS TO FEELING BEAUTIFUL AND COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN

1) First and foremost, it’s essential to accept imperfection, because you need to be your own best ally, your own best friend, if you want to realize your full potential, learn to love yourself and live in compassion.

2) Then I invite you to develop a vision of your ideal image – and I do mean yours… based on your tastes, on what makes you happy, gives you pleasure and makes you vibrate, everything that lights up thousands of stars in your eyes.

3) To avoid getting lost in envy, comparison or anything else, I invite you to refocus on yourself, your being, your essence. How can I do this? Yoga, tai chi, meditation and breathing will help.

4) Then, rather than getting lost everywhere, without knowing your desires and needs, learn to make conscious, coherent choices in the direction of your life’s ideal. If you get to know me, you’ll discover that this is an essential goal of my image consultancy approach: less is more.

5) Remember also to free and lighten your mind of all those negative beliefs, to make room for creativity, lightness and confidence.

6) Take action: sort through your wardrobe, consult an image professional, have someone accompany you on your shopping trip. This will enable you to be sure of your choices if you’re still in doubt. It will help you structure your tastes and better understand and conscientize your choices.

SMILE… LAUGHTER IS ESSENTIAL TO FEELING BEAUTIFUL!

Observe these women who radiate, who live in deep joy, and even in the difficulties they encounter display the smile of their soul. It’s not a question of forcing yourself to “laugh” or smile when your heart really isn’t in it – although it is! -It’s about getting back into the habit of being open to others. To smile is to convey two fundamental messages to the other person: on the one hand, I recognize you as a human being; on the other, I feel a deep joy in interacting with you.

It’s not easy to smile at someone who has wronged you, or at someone who deliberately creates conflict with you. And smile first at others, at those who will respond to your smile because they share with you the same ideal of brotherhood. Try smiling at the grumpy person who has just pushed you aside to take your place in the supermarket, and cultivate a sense of humor. This ability to laugh benevolently at a situation or behavior. It provides a healthy distance. Even if you’re not very good at it to begin with, you can make rapid progress.

CULTIVATE JOIE DE VIVRE TO FIND YOURSELF BEAUTIFUL
Yes, some people are naturally gifted, but others need to learn to love life, their life, but also to work on their emotional fluidity, to surround themselves with cheerful people whom they will take care to model, and not to lead!

It not only reflects the truth of a person’s being, but also values them in their own eyes as well as in the eyes of others. Only then can self-confidence be strengthened. After all, appearance allows you to make contact with others – and, paradoxically, to strengthen yourself.

AND FINALLY, LOVE YOURSELF!!!
To find yourself beautiful, you must first love yourself!

But how can I feel beautiful and comfortable in my own skin? How can I love myself when I hate my chin, my hair, my shyness, my incompetence, my clumsiness, my life? Your complexes are very often linked to beliefs such as: “With my receding chin, no one will like me”, “My awkwardness puts everyone off”, “I’m ugly, no one will ever look at me”.

You need to reframe these beliefs: “I have a distinctive chin, but I also know that there is someone on earth who can really love me, and appreciate other qualities of mine”, “I’m brilliant, and I’m going to go out of my way to show it”, “I sometimes make clumsy gestures, and I know that there are people on earth who will be touched by them”.

Face reality too: find people who “made it” according to your criteria, found their soulmate who were wonderful people, loved with: a receding chin, a low IQ, just because they had that something else: faith in themselves, in their dreams, determined to stand up for their convictions and live their lives that’s what made them beautiful.

Beware also of envy, of idolatry that destroys you! Don’t forget that all these “exceptional” people you only see on the glossy pages of newspapers or on the screen of your cell phone have the financial means to carve out a dream figure and face with the help of scalpels, collagen, fat, injections, prostheses and silicone. Often, their profession demands this perfection, with sports, personal training and massage, while you type your report. So leave the idols on their pedestals, and get on with life! Do you really need to follow all that? Sure, they make you dream, they take you out of your everyday life, but they make your life, your person, appear miserable if you lack confidence – run away from any comparison – even with your office colleague.

In the end, what do my customers want most, and what do we all want? To reclaim our uniqueness, “what’s unique about me” – and to take care of ourselves so that we can live, as much as possible, in peace and pleasure with our image and our inner selves. It’s here, at the crossroads of these feelings, that the image consultancy approach lies: support that’s good for the body as much as for the soul, taking into account the unconscious and emotional dimension in the complex relationship we have with our appearance and, finally, the conviction that it’s also through a process of self-knowledge, awareness and opening up of the heart that beauty ceases to be a narcissistic pleasure and truly becomes a link to others.

Take the prettiest girl you know. Now imagine her with a gray complexion, unkempt teeth, dark circles and an unglamorous look. Get the picture? Image consulting has been proving it for decades: we’re all beautiful. My job is to make you want to be, to guide you through this teeming world of innovation and sensations.

NOW, RADIATE YOUR BEAUTY OF BEING!
Pleasing yourself doesn’t mean identifying with your image, it means really meeting yourself, loving yourself fully, both morally and physically, so that you can convey to others the inner bliss. In short, to reconcile authentic interiority and exteriority, without pretence. That’s the key when you’re wondering how to find yourself pretty on a daily basis.

To radiate is to allow the light within you to shine on others. You certainly know some of those people around you who aren’t necessarily beautiful, who aren’t necessarily well-dressed, but who have a real power of attraction. What do you say about Andrea? “She’s luminous! What do you think of Jim: “He’s radiant!” Their inner light shines through: joy, deep serenity, idealism, sharing and solidarity.

And don’t forget the famous round and beautiful show. These women didn’t even come close to meeting beauty standards, yet they shone. So no matter what you look like, you’re beautiful. It’s up to you to realize that!
