I firmly believe that every person is unique and beautiful in their own way. Inner beauty is as significant as outer beauty and we come to know it as we grow spiritually and become more mature. After all, beauty is not only about appearance. If you are beautiful on the inside, then you are beautiful on the outside. Here are some tips to be more beautiful on the inside.
Do good deeds
Many people agree that when you do a good deed for someone, they begin to feel better. And when you help someone, you can feel as if you have been blessed. Scientists say doing good deeds can actually improve your physical and mental health. Others believe that this is the best way to clear karma.
If you're trying to be more beautiful on the inside, I hope these tips help you. Kahlil Gibran once said, “Beauty is not in the face, beauty is the light in the heart.” Accept yourself for who you are, love yourself and don’t let anyone put you down.

Is inner beauty a gift from above?
In the modern world, much attention is paid to external beauty. But sometimes it prevents us from seeing something more important, something internal - deep and unique.
There was something in this photo that I had not noticed in this person before. She was beautiful, but not as beautiful as always. There were no changes to the face or hairstyle. And the photo was in a strict Headshot style. I couldn’t understand what touched me so much, but I really wanted to get to this photographer to find out his secret.
While I was making an appointment with the photographer, I started thinking. The concept of beauty is quite relative when it comes to external beauty. It is given to us from our parents, maintained throughout our lives, or changes thanks to new technologies. But inner beauty is undeniable, it cannot be questioned. It either exists or it doesn’t. We do not evaluate it, but feel and feel it.
Unfortunately, nowadays the struggle is for external beauty. The propaganda of transformation literally consumes people.
Appearance is important and its importance cannot be underestimated. Becoming outwardly beautiful is much easier, although sometimes more expensive. But the point is not whether you have the right facial features or whether your hair is naturally lush. And what is behind all this? No achievement can be due to external beauty alone. Even at “Miss...” competitions there are other tasks besides demonstrating your appearance.
Every person can be beautiful internally, but not everyone becomes so. Only you can make yourself beautiful on the inside.
Inner beauty is when you are whole, harmonious, happy. It is something deep, something like the divine.
We really love images, images, roles. The huge, prosperous and developing world of the photo industry shows us masterpieces. But there is something wrong with many of the photographs. Behind all this variety of colors and colors, the real, deep, that very beauty is not visible. And not everyone can see the beauty of another. Again – images, roles, image. Or maybe there is no such task at all?!
I even caught myself thinking that only a truly internally beautiful person can see inner beauty.
While I was looking for answers to my questions, my impatience grew in anticipation of meeting the photographer.
I was a little late and felt a little nervous. I ran into the studio and tried to assess the situation with my eyes. The makeup artist and his assistant appeared in the doorway. They were polite and caring. I already had experience in photography - usually the work began with carefully thinking through the image. Everything inside me froze before his choice.
But, to my great surprise, nothing like that happened. They gave me very light makeup, even easier than in real life.
And that there won’t even be a hairstyle? “Well, we’ll comb our hair,” I heard in response.
At this moment I thought. Here is a paradox: if inner beauty can go to the external plane and is reflected, then external beauty will never go to the internal. One way ticket.
According to the law of nature, on an unconscious level, we look for an outwardly beautiful partner, friend, choose a teacher and others. Sometimes it happens that external beauty is enough for a person to live at a certain level.
But you can probably remember a person who is not very remarkable in appearance, far from the standard of beauty, but still simply irresistible internally.
A photographer appeared on the threshold, interrupting my thoughts. He was interesting in appearance, friendly and smiling. While he was preparing for the shoot, he talked to me and occasionally glanced at me. He was interested in my hobbies, my lifestyle. And he didn’t ask this out of politeness. In fact, he studied me and even tuned in to me.
The photo shoot lasted about three hours, I did my best, the photographer encouraged me. The result was an ordinary portrait photograph. I saw a completely different me - without an image, real, alive, even living this moment. Deep and alluring.
For the first time after this photo shoot, I thought about inner beauty and why it can’t always be recognized. Such beauty has no standard, no what is popular, fashionable or in trend. Everyone has their own inner beauty and it is unique.
We can broadcast our inner beauty to others, but it happens that it is constrained by some difficulties in life, another difficult stage, or by the fact that we ourselves are not always able to see it.
It is important to remember that inner beauty does not age over the years, it is preserved, we can take care of it, it can become larger. How? Everyone has his own path.
Inner beauty is not a gift from above, where it is given to some and not to others. This is serious work on yourself. A job that is never too late to start. Go in search of your inner beauty and give it to the world.

Learn to see beauty in small things
There is nothing weird or bad about being happy and amazed by everyday little things. On the contrary, it inspires and fills us from within. Walking down the street, look at the beauty of the trees or the sky, listen to the birds singing, smile at the sun's ray. Learn to notice the wonderful and beautiful every day in the places you visit and in the people who surround you.
Self confidence
A person who is confident in himself is drawn to him like a magnet. They look to him for support, they trust him, because he makes the right decisions, putting aside fears, and constantly moving forward. If necessary, he will speak out against a hostile world and break the foundations of the system. But he will do it with his inherent kindness.
People who are confident don't focus on their appearance. They know that there are more important things to do. And those who constantly think only about their own beauty lose their sense of confidence.
“I’m both smart and beautiful!”
Girls, value yourself! You can be both smart and beautiful at the same time, you don’t need to choose. Gradually implement recommendations on how to take care of yourself. For example, start doing exercises (if you haven’t already), then sign up for the gym. Find an interesting podcast and listen to it in the car. Don’t change your life radically - take small steps, this will give great results in the future.

What do you want to do to improve your life right now? I look forward to your messages in the comments!
Work on your negative qualities
Absolutely everyone has negative qualities, and that's normal. Envy, aggressiveness, dishonesty, hatred, greed, excessive pride and so on. To some extent, the manifestation of these qualities can sometimes be normal.
However, in the true sense, each of these qualities is destructive: it literally destroys you from the inside. It is very difficult to stop getting irritated over trifles when you are used to living with it, but life was given to us, including for this painstaking work.
Compassion
This feeling is not common to everyone. It is especially difficult to show it in relation to strangers. But, if you succeed, you will never pass by a sick animal, or an old woman in need of help. This means that the world around you will become better, and, at the same time, the attitude of others towards you will improve.
Compassion manifests itself in many different ways. For example, you will never drive away a homeless person who asks you for a piece of bread, and you will not communicate with him incorrectly. This attitude reveals not only humanity, but also good manners.
Be generous
Reach out and you'll get a big payback. The first thing you'll notice is the surge of feel-good brain chemicals released when you call a tow truck for a family stranded on the freeway. Help also activates areas of the brain that are critical for planning and organizing daily life. You'll even extend your life: in one study, volunteers saw a 60 percent reduction in mortality!
It doesn't matter if it's a one-day volunteer event with friends or helping to meet a need in your own community. What matters is the kindness in your own life that you can share with others. This is real beauty.
Keep your posture
What does ballerinas, mild-mannered yoga teachers and generals gain from their commanding presence? We focus on posture. We don't mean a straight cleaning rod. We mean a flexible, relaxed look that keeps your spine healthy and promotes a slimmer appearance. It's healthier for your back to be a stalk of tall grass swaying in the wind than a fence post stuck in the ground.
Feel this by standing with both feet on the floor and knees slightly bent. Tighten your abdominal muscles, relax your shoulders, and pull up, keeping your head and neck in line with your shoulders. Allow your spine to curve naturally and gracefully. Now you instantly become taller, slimmer and more confident.

Smart or beautiful: what to invest in?
Girls! Let's split into two camps. Answer in the comments, what is more important: intelligence or beauty?
I have already written several times about what kind of women men like. We appreciate harmony, lightness, naturalness, ease and self-love in you. Tell me, will a girl who loves herself think that she is ugly? Or will he choose between “pumping up” his butt and his intellect? No! Because she is guided by the principle: in a healthy and beautiful body there is a healthy and beautiful spirit.
Stop choosing which beauty is more important: external or internal. A bright “candy wrapper” attracts men, and a deep mind and pure soul binds your loved one to you forever. Therefore, work on all aspects by reading my “Beauty and Health” section.
Practice authenticity
It means knowing and respecting yourself enough to make choices that reflect your deepest priorities and finding ways, kindly and gently, to tell the truth. This is, of course, a lifelong process, not a one-day self-improvement project. Start by looking at the areas of your life that align with your values and those that don't.
What saves this trait from becoming “But enough about you, let’s talk about me” is a group of shiny brain cells called mirror neurons. They are the reason why you yawn when your partner yawns or why you feel cold when your child goes outside in winter wearing only a sweatshirt. The great thing about mirror neurons is that they practically enable human connection by creating empathy. Noticing and acting on these shared feelings is the blueprint for friendship and community. This is authenticity in action. And therefore the truest form of beauty.

Let go of the past
Often negativity and negative emotions in us are nurtured by memories of the past. You cannot live with these memories; it is traumatic not only for yourself, but also for those around you. Imagine that you are a ball woven from the current intention to become more beautiful from the inside and the pain of the past. It’s clear that knitting something worthy out of this will only be half done.
Old pain and old grievances are a stone that drags us to the bottom all our lives. Take care of yourself and your loved ones - work through and let go of the past. If you cannot do this yourself, contact a specialist.
Laugh more often
The willingness to celebrate the truly comic in us and in everyday events, without sarcasm or meanness, gives life a wonderful and effervescent tingle. Humor eases tension and brings us together. Plus, laughter can reduce your risk of heart attack by as much as 40 percent and help your body handle blood sugar better.
Embrace the brighter side of laughter and you'll live longer, researchers report. You don't have to be the latest comedian to spread this fabulous fun. Your sense of humor is as unique as your fingerprints.
