Only you can decide if you are beautiful. All you need is to change your mindset and develop your confidence and self-esteem. And yes, this is easier said than done.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Part One: Inner Beauty

  1. 1 Realize your own beauty. This is the most important step in feeling beautiful. You must understand that your beauty comes from yourather than from the outside. But you have to learn to feel that way.
    • Write down a list of all of your positive qualities. This includes things like helping around the house, listening to your friends, or making jokes best.
    • Every morning when you wake up, smile at yourself in the bathroom mirror and say out loud “I'm cool” and “I'm happy.” The more you say that, the more you will convince your brain that this is true.
    • Write down a list of the things you think are beautiful in yourself. Maybe you have big brown eyes, a cute nose or full lips, or a great laugh. If you can't think of anything, ask a close friend or family member.
    • When you start to think bad about yourself, remember your lists.
  2. 2 Get rid of the negativity. Negative thoughts make our brains believe negative. If we think that we are ugly, our brain will be sure of it. You need to convince your brain that these thoughts are not true.
    • Whenever you have a negative thought, mark it. Example: “I have a terrible nose.” Tell yourself, “I think I have a terrible nose.” So it becomes just a thought, not your opinion.
    • Get rid of negative thoughts. You are not your thoughts, but they can seriously harm your self-esteem.
    • Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Even if you don't believe in a positive thought, you can make your brain believe in it.
  3. 3 Develop self-confidence. Everyone has good qualities, internal and external, but it is important to understand that not only appearance is important in people. It's great if you like people (and you yourself!) Because of their physical attractiveness, but it will be even better if you take a closer look at what they have inside. There will always be someone more beautiful, more successful, with more romantic partners.
    • Don't judge yourself harshly. You are your own worst enemy. Allow yourself to feel unattractive at times. Confidence is believing in yourself even on days when you don't care about anything.
    • Don't judge other people. What you think of others says a lot about you. Try to think positively about others. This will affect your positive attitude towards yourself.
    • Don't compare yourself to others. So you will only lose confidence in yourself. Plus, that girl with perfect hair can have a very difficult life.
    • Fake it until you actually get it. You can convince your brain that you are confident if you behave confidently. Act like you already know that you are beautiful and you will start to believe in it.
    • Don't think that you will be worth anything just if you have a pair. Your self-esteem and confidence should depend on you and you alone. If you shift the responsibility for self-control to other people, you will not learn true confidence.
    • Indulge in a self-portrait. You are in control of the picture and can take a photo that will highlight all your attractive features. If you are feeling insecure, take a look at the photo and remind yourself that you are beautiful!

Method 2 of 3: Part Two: External Beauty

  1. 1 Change your look. Changes in your look can make you more confident and refresh your appearance. It's also fun!
    • Change your hairstyle. Cut your hair, do another part, add highlights, or dye your hair pink.
    • Go dark smokey eyes or wear bright red lipstick.
      • Go for a free makeover. Many cosmetic stores offer you completely new makeup shades for free. If you always use plum eyeshadow, ask your consultant to look at the peach shades to create a completely new look. You will return home with beautiful makeup.
    • Buying a new item can change your wardrobe: a new shirt, skirt, or even a scarf.
  2. 2 Wear clothes, makeup and makeup that make YOU feel beautiful and confident. Comfortable clothes will work better than a trendy outfit that you don't really like. If you feel uncomfortable, others will see it.
    • Check if the clothing size is right for you. It's hard to feel comfortable if your jeans dig into your skin or your bra leaves marks on your skin.
  3. 3 Pamper yourself. Taking time out to relax can help you build confidence and distract yourself, which will keep you positive.
    • Feel beautiful to your toes with a homemade pedicure. Do whatever you want! Put on one or two toe rings. Paint each nail in a different color, use glitter, or try a shade you are not ready to use on your hands.
    • Take care of your skin. When you pamper yourself, it shows. So make a mask to achieve smoother skin.
  4. 4 Work to be healthy. A healthy appearance is not only attractive, but also means that you are healthy and mentally! This will help you cope with depression and not get sick. It's hard to feel beautiful if you have a cold.
    • Sleep is an important health factor. Lack of sleep drains the nervous system and can make you more susceptible to depression and illness. If you cannot sleep the recommended 8-9 hours a night, make sure you can take a nap during the day.
    • Exercise promotes the production of endorphins and serotonin, which improves your attitude and body. There are many different ways to exercise: yoga, dancing, walking and running, aerobics, zumba. This can be fun.
    • Learn to meditate. Meditation will help your brain get rid of negative thoughts. It can also help you cope with depression, digestive disorders and stress.
    • Laugh. Take a friend and remember some fun event or watch your favorite comedy. Laughter can reduce pain, help you cope with difficult situations, and improve your mood.
    • Go out into the sun. Sunlight is a well-known remedy for bad moods. Indeed, in the Nordic countries, where the sun rarely shines in winter, people undergo therapy to get rid of depression. (Be careful with the sun and wear sunscreen.)

Method 3 of 3: Part Three: Be Beautiful

  1. 1 Attract people with your kindness, respect, and pleasant personality. At first, people react to physical attractiveness, but research has shown that they change the perception of attractiveness depending on the person's personality.
    • Listen to people when they speak. You don't have to be a "rag" to listen to other people, and people will notice that you are interested in their words.
    • Kindness is one of the most important qualities associated with attractiveness, according to Yale University psychologist Paul Bloom. This means helping others when they need to and not judging others (see the steps above).
  2. 2 Determine how you understand attractiveness. Remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Different cultural groups have different standards of beauty. The obsession with thinness as a manifestation of beauty began in the 1960s.
    • Remember that people in magazines, movies and TV shows have a whole army of hairdressers, make-up artists, lighting and photoshop. Therefore, you cannot look like them. They also do not look like that in ordinary life.

Tips

  • Color your mood. When you're unhappy with what you see in the mirror, don't grab a gray coat to complement your mood. Put on bright clothes to get back in line. For example, try on red, the most energetic color in the spectrum.

Warnings

  • If you really think that plastic surgery will help you become beautiful, it is worth talking to your doctor first.
