LOVE YOUR BODY

LOVE YOUR BODY 30.04.2010 No Comments

Your body is a living, breathing, reacting, sensitive, strong miracle. It’s not a machine, which is why it is unpredictable, sometimes responsive and co-operative, sometimes not-exactly like its owner! Accept it as it is, love it as it is. Give it fresh air, sunlight, hygiene, space, the experience of stillness through meditation. Build a strong barrier between your body and disease with healing habits, pure thoughts, fulfilling activities.

To build that strong barrier, you need to develop a strong, positive mind. Not one that gets easily fazed and frustrated, but one that always rises above the situation calmly and heads for the solution. If your mind simmers with disconnect because your kilos aren’t budging, your body gets tense, sore, tired, so strengthen thy mind, little one.

2) Never let your greys show-this is seriously ageing. When you start noticing grey hair, use a natural dye that is close to your hair color. “Never color your hair jet black, as it tends to age the face more”.

3) Too many highlights will make you look artificial, fake and never youthful. Always go warmer with highlights. For a more sophisticated and sexy look, try a natural base color with a few highlights.
