Mirror Mirror
Mirror, Mirror The Concept of Beauty
"Mirror Mirror on the Wall, who's the most beautiful of them
all?"
This is a line spoken by the Queen in the children's fairy tale
"Snow White"
The Queen most likely, was once the most beautiful woman in the
kingdom; expected only to hear the Mirror confirm that fact.
To the Queen*s dismay The Mirror had exchanged her beauty for
that of Snow White's He pulled down the Queen*s Beauty position
replacing it with that of her Snow White's.
Immediately, jealousy reared it's ugly head, causing the Queen
to begin her all consuming quest of getting rid of innocent Snow
White.
Set in today's age that Mirror would very well become
television, magazines, internet and the modeling agencies behind
them.
Beauty is not so much a look as it is an action. For if beauty
was a look then the same model would be Queen of television,
magazines, and internet forever and only to be replaced with a
clone of Queen Model.
In my time it was Farrah Fawcett and Bo Derek at the top of the
list. Many women copied just about everything about them. From
hairstyle to toenail polish women all across America, wanted to
mimic these two Super Models.
What is wrong with copying a style or look you admire, not
anything as long as you don't allow it to all consume you to the
point that you too, are drastically changing your physical looks
every time the Mirror says "This is NOW what we call beauty."
Beauty is not a look but an action. The simple act of carrying
yourself in a wonderful way can make you feel beautiful.
Here is another action you can practice in your quest of beauty.
At least once a day look into a mirror place a decisive smile on
your face and say very simply: "Beautiful," and know, that no
matter how you feel you are describing yourself!
Over a period of time not only will you begin to feel beautiful.
You will also ,begin to see things about your physical self in a
much better light and begin to compliment yourself.
In transition as you will you feel more beautiful. You will hold
your head higher and have a more graceful walk. Don't think
others won*t notice* they will!
I wrote this article especially for Body By Baby EZine
Subscribers, because the concept of beauty is often lost to
women who have became mothers.
Bringing forth a brand NEW LIFE is usually accompanied by extra
weight. We as a society must embrace the childbearing body
before, during and after pregnancy.
If I may boldly borrow from the Ezine. The body that encompass
and nourish a child should be "Treasured as a One of a Kind Work
of Art. Sculptured not by hands but by the delicate development
of new life!"
I want to apologize to all women who has NOT felt beautiful due
to media*s concept of beauty. No one or no thing should ever
make a person feel that they are lacking in any area of self
worth. for the BIBLE says that we are fearfully and wonderfully
made!
The next time you look into a Mirror don't ASK it if you're
beautiful,
TELL IT YOUR'RE BEAUTIFUL!
