DEFINING BEAUTIFUL Brandistas hearing the word beautiful makes most of us smile. Our personal definition of beautiful is as varied as expressions of it. Countless women aspire to be “beautiful” at any cost, and many men aspire to be with a “beautiful” woman no matter the challenge. Interestingly enough, one of MerriamWebster’s definitions of beautiful is “generally pleasing : excellent”.

EXCELLENT IS BEAUTIFUL What an appropriate way to describe such a powerful word as beautiful. No matter what the current trends suggest, it’s ultimately realized that true beauty is a great combination of excellence from the inside out. Whether it be a friend or celebrity

amongst us, we’ve all experienced what we’ve considered a beautiful face or a chiseled physique that is void of a beautiful heart or a healthy mind. The excellent condition of our heart, our mind, and our physical body together is indeed the true essence of beautiful.

OUR HEART One of the simplest ways to cultivate a beautiful heart is to guard our stress level and appreciate the gifts in our lives. In a society where demanding lifestyles are the norm, achieving a balance life is easier said than done. While exercise helps, I’ve witnessed instances where regular exercise can be fruitless if an individual’s personal stress level isn’t mentally brought under control. Sometimes it helps to revamp the todo lists, make time to stop, rest, breathe and rebalance.

OUR MIND I’ve heard it wisely said that we can’t live a positive life while focusing on negative thoughts. Anything positive I’ve accomplished in life began with a healthy thought process. Negative, fearful, and cynical thoughts completely robs us of the beauty of a life http://thebrandistaguide.com/beautiful/

that fosters a mind filled with faith, possibilities, and courage.

OUR BODIES I don’t believe that beautiful solely comes in particular physiques, the components of health itself confirms that our bodies aren’t designed to carry excessive weight which is often preceded by living an inactive lifestyle. When we exercise and engage in physical activity, we are able to enjoy the full capacity of the excellence of our bodies. Taking care of our physical bodies can be tough in the beginning, but it’s worth it to achieve the ultimate beauty we behold. Let’s decide like never before to do the work– the useful and necessary work—to keep our hearts, our minds, and our bodies excellent and BEAU TIFUL.
