There’s Nothing Wrong with the Way You Look


Appearance standards are unrealistic, ever-changing, and, most importantly..made up! They take on the importance we give them and are only "true" if we believe them.


I don't believe them. But I used to! I believed them to the tune of around 100K on cosmetic surgery, injectables, lasers, peels, fat-freezing, and ultrasonic therapy, to say nothing of the money spent on clothing, accessories, haircare, cosmetics, and the neverending search for the shiny thing that was going to lift me into the light and keep me in the warm glow of acceptance.


What I know now is that humans are plagued with hedonic immunity. We always get used to the shiny thing, which begins to look dull and eventually fades into the archives with the rest of the tarnished. Whatever spark of pleasant emotion arrives with the acquisition is just that. It is not happiness. Happiness comes from somewhere else, somewhere inside.


Learn eight daily practices for uncoupling your self-worth from your appearance and freeing yourself to focus on what matters!
