Inner Beauty

I’ve used to have a small/slight idea about what inner beauty is about. But now that the times are getting modernized each day and with that the concept of beauty also expands and changes. Before it’s just all about physical beauty. Beauty of the face and the body. Yes, people can be shallow that’s why often times the concept of inner beauty is being neglected.

But we can’t always blame people all the time for being shallow. The world is changing, because of all the technological advancements. If you don’t like anything about how you look you can easily get plastic surgery. It’s so easy to get lost and be superficial.

Nowadays, because of the organic food and organic way of living craze has started, it also brought back the concept of inner beauty. A part of a healthy lifestyle is a healthy and beautiful inner self. And with that people get to focus more on the inner beauty of a person.

I will not say that I’ve never judged a person by his physical appearance. I did, many times before. When I only had vague ideas about inner beauty. But now That I have a clear idea about it, I am more broad minded. I always try to see the good inside every people that I meet. It is also a lifestyle change. If you used to be very judgmental based on physical appearance you can always try to reverse that. It is a lifestyle change, when you learn how to see the good in every people without basing it on one’s physical appearance. This change will be very beneficial to one’s well-being. That’s what happened to me. It is indeed a good change.

Best Acne Cures and Treatments

Acne, yes I did had this problem in high school and the rest of my teenage years. It’s one of the biggest problems a teen can ever have. Because it doesn’t only leave a scar on your skin but also in one’s life. When I had acne in high school, it affected my social life and my self-esteem so much. I am not an outgoing person anymore. I am afraid that I’ll get ridiculed or be bullied because of my acne. It was such an awkward time in my life.

I have tried so many stuff like toners, ointments, facial creams and soaps just trying to get rid of the acne. But acne cures can be tricky because they vary on different types of skin. I always check online and asked closed friends about acne cures, thinking that it will have the same effect on me. But there are some remedies that even made my skin condition worse. I’ve even tried consulting a dermatologist, to try some new acne treatments. Thinking that it may help in getting rid of the acne. But it did not. I’ve spent so much time searching for the best acne treatments, but I always end-up unsuccessful. The dermatologist told me that it’s just a phase that it will disappear on its own. But how am I supposed to feel about that? I am still worried and alarmed. Because for me during that time, it doesn’t seem that it’s just a phase. I was even more eager to find a way on how to make them go away. But as I’ve exhausted all the possible ways I’ve realized that I have to stop. Maybe my skin is tired and fed-up with all the chemicals that I’ve tried. I’ve decided to give my skin a rest.

I’ve realized that I have to change my lifestyle. I’ve used to sleep really late and I don’t drink lots of water, which I’ve found out is very good for the skin. But now that I’ve made a lifestyle change, they’ve gradually disappeared. And I’m starting to gain back the self-esteem that I’ve lost during that phase.

Stress Less

When I was not yet working, the word stress is not familiar to me. But when I started working, suddenly I feel easily agitated, tired, sluggish and irritable. That’s when I’ve realized, that I’m under stress. The changes that I was undergoing were all part of the stress that I’m feeling. In fact I am not stressing less but in fact I was under a lot of stress. This brings me only a single step away from a complete melt down. I have to come up of a solution that will help me manage my stress level or better yet completely get rid of it.

Most people that I’ve asked about on how to reduce stress level always give me the same answer, which is: “That’s simple; you can reduce your stress by taking a break, go on a vacation.” So, I’ve pondered on that thought. Going on a vacation some place can be expensive. I have to think of another way to reduce my stress. That’s when this thought came into my mind. I can take a break from work for days, and just stay at home. At least I can be sure that my room is a stress-free environment. I can do the normal things that I’ve used to do, before I had a job. But when I started working most of the time I’m out of energy and with that I am not able to do the activities that I love, the activities that I’ve used to do.

But then again, I’ve realized what if I don’t have any leave credits left from work. How can I manage to stress less? That’s when I’ve finally told myself, that I have to take control of my life. I have to learn to put myself first before my work. That I have to balance my life, work and personal time for myself. The changes that I was undergoing were a part of the stress that I was feeling.

Now that I’m able to manage my stress level, I have this motivation that I am able to take control of my life, and the obstacles that life may give me in the future. I don’t have to worry about the stress, because I’m confident that I’ll be able to surpass and manage it. There are bigger things ahead of me.

Travel, Beauty, Well-Being

Is there anybody out there who does not want well-being, to look beautiful and explore new terrain through traveling?

I doubt it. Probably not reading this here anyway.

Lifestyle can be so, sooo personal. I am very glad that our society allows more and more very different lifestyles. We see this especially in cities. When values start changing, the lifestyle modifies too. This makes me feel a lot more free.

With a bit of wealth, you can travel almost all around the world. I love to do this and I have gained so much from these experiences. I`ve been traveling through India, Europe and all around the US of course. Because I did not travel with groups (most of the time), I had to connect with the local people, live, eat, sleep and discuss many ideas and life experiences.

Of course, beauty is also defined very different in each culture. Living in ones own culture, a certain kind of blindness occurs. The whole situation is so close - I like to say: The fish is surrounded by the water so much so, that he becomes almost unaware of it.

We are so massively surrounded by advertisements all day long, that people think they would dress up so very unique. So everyone walking around in jeans and thinking this as a unique style? Advertisement is a sort of hypnosis and quite a challenge to keep awake and with personal control.

Everyone of us has to define for him or herself which lifestyle leads to well-being. Yes, you are already making choices towards well-being everyday. These choice-making-decisions are mostly unconscious or in other words: other than conscious. It is said that the more conscious you are, the more beauty and well-being you will experience.

Let me leave you with these thoughts for now. Comment and ask questions so we can get closer. Be well.

Eric
