"Recapture Real Beauty" Idea

A little "food for thought" - Check this out for a refreshing thought about Beauty... (from BYU)

The purpose of the BYU 10-Day challenge is to offer one exercise each day that will encourage participants to address the way they view themselves and help them develop a greater love and appreciation for who they are as divine beings. The exercises presented in the challenge are designed to shift our focus away from the messages of the world and into a place from within; a place where we are completely conscious of what true beauty is. As we continue to practice and develop these types of exercises that focus on discovering beauty from within, we can feel at peace with ourselves and appreciate the blessed gift that our bodies are.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure... We ask ourselves: ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.” -Nelson Mandela

The "full calendar" document on the website is really encouraging. It has some wonderful thoughts, scriptures and ideas about our habits, self-talk and recapturing beauty. Maybe we explore this idea more in early December after the fitness challenge?
