I AM. BEAUTIFUL!

For New Beginnings this year for Young Women we had a ten day beauty challenge. Here is what we did on all of the days:
1. Express Gratitude for all the things your body allows you to do
2. Study what beauty is from a gospel perspective. 
3. Write down 10 positive things about you that have nothing to do with your appearance and 10 positive things that you like about your appearance
4. Use the same amount of time that you take to get ready in the morning to get ready on the inside. Meditate, then perform an act of service
5. Exercise for fun- choose a form of exercise that you enjoy, do it just for fun!
6. Refrain from talk about your weight or shape of yourself or others. You cannot use a scale!
7. Tune out the media. no tv, movies, magazines, and internet surfing. Tune into nature.
8. Pay special attention to your thoughts today. Ask yourself, How do my thoughts make me feel?
9. Be kind to your body. Take a nap, go for a walk, just feel good!
10. Now what?!? Realize that you are beautiful and try to do these things every once in a while if not every day.

Here are a few pictures afterwards.

This is definitely an experience that I will never forget. I would suggest to everyone to try this out and just see how you feel after. And also suggest this idea to your friends and family.
