11 More Things To Focus On Rather Than Your Outer Appearance
Kaeli Hearn

As I revisit this topic, it has never been more relevant in our society. Every day we are consumed by the notion of what beauty is and what it should look like. But, have you ever ventured into the headspace of focusing on elements of who you are rather than your outer appearance? Here are 11 more things to focus on other than your outer appearance.

1. Your laugh.

How cool is it that your laugh is not like any other laugh? Laugh and laugh often.


2. What inspires you.

What pushes you and inspires you? Channel that into your daily life and watch it reveal your inner beauty.

3. Your favorite things.

Is it baking? Photography? Sports? Take pride in what makes you happy and what makes you who you are today.


4. Your inner wisdom.

Yes, you have it. Go share it with those around you.

5. Your mind.

This is something I think we should all learn to appreciate a bit more. Our minds are capable of storing all this amazing, impactful information and using it for good — if we choose to do so.

6. Your joy.

What give you the most radiant joy? Is it friends, family, a certain place? Take pride in what gives you joy each day.


7. Your signature style.

What is yours? Fun, energetic, composed, intense, funny?

8. Your quirks.

I think this is another trait that you should own and love about yourself. It is the funny quirks that make you uniquely individualistic.

9. Your beliefs.

What you believe is foundational to who you are as a person.

10. Your aspirations.

Where you see your life going is a thing of beauty and passion.

11. Your distinct, unique personality.

You are uniquely beautiful. No one thinks, wants or needs the same things as you. When you find that inner beauty and start channeling that as opposed to the outer beauty, your life radically transforms.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
