Recently, I participated in a make-over program in Salt Lake City, Utah. Women from around the state sent in biographies and letters explaining why they believed they should be chosen for a make over. We were looking for a candidate that was excited and willing to make real changes in her life – starting from the inside and working out! Included in the make over was Life Coaching, a health and exercise program, tips for healthier skin and hair, makeup and many other services.
Out of all the services provided, Life Coaching proved to have the most impact. After just three sessions, I was able to help her regain her inner beauty and happiness. She discovered who she is and discovered what a gift that provides others in her life.
I found through coaching that I could never feel and be beautiful on the outside until I could feel and be beautiful on the inside”, she said.
Read these thoughts on creating beauty from the inside out and think about how you can apply them to your life:
- A beautiful person is one who values themselves mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. Beauty is the total impact of all these aspects.
- Mind and body are inter-related; the state of one reflects the state of the other.
- Inner beauty is more a part of us than mere body and mind; it is indestructible.
- To be a complete person, you have to work not only on your outer beauty but first develop your inner beauty.
Here are a few things that are considered inner beauty:
|
Loving Compassionate Honest |
Intelligent Graceful Forgiving |
Non-judgmental Peaceful Sensitive |
Kind Confident Creative |
Take a moment and list your inner beauty qualities and share them in the comments section.
I put my trust into Terry’s expertise and was able – with her coaching, and my openness – to find the root of one of my behaviors that has disabled me from being my true self…and being true to myself. She has a gift that makes me continuously think about me and my actions, what I want out of my life, and tools on how to achieve my goals and true happiness. Terry has reminded me there is no external beauty without internal happiness and peace with who you are. I am very grateful to the tools and gift of a new life she has given me…

Inner beauty has, is and always will be there. You just have to decide to let it shine through.
With compassion and confidence,
