“It doesn't happen all at once, said the Skin Horse. ‘You become’. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.” ― Margery Williams Bianco
This beautiful quote from the well-loved book ‘The Velveteen Rabbit’ exhibits the beauty of what is real and gracefully ‘becoming’. Becoming real takes time, just as becoming a more enhanced ‘you’ do. We strive for more of an external beauty in our youth, then as we ‘become’ we realize that true beauty is more of a measure of what is within. That being said, we should always aim to take the best possible care of our external appearance, it all amounts to self-love and self-care something that we should have at the forefront of our minds. We operate better when we take care of the fundamentals, and it begins with us as individuals first. How do you promote becoming a better you? Here are a few things to think about on that journey!

1.    Follow what excites and captivates you
Boredom can often age us. The best solution to combat boredom is to keep encouraging the new to fold into your life. What sparks an inner drive within you shines enthusiasm and excitement right through you. Enthusiasm keeps us feeling young and vibrant. When we feel passion within it exudes outwardly. When we feel captivated by something we keep growing as we delve into the layers of what we love; we are fuelled by what ignites our cause from within. Do you love to dance? Do you love to take long walks out in nature? Find what excites you and follow it.

2.    Make quality time- for you
Life is demanding and a constant ‘push-pull’ act sometimes. We lose track of time so quickly throughout the days, weeks, and months as we fight to keep up with our commitments. When you can set aside some quality time for you, you feel important and valued. You deserve ‘you’ time. Try to note down some simple ways that you can effectively weave some valuable time for you into your day. Maybe it’s a spa treatment you’ve had your eye on or a short weekend away. That quality time helps to promote a more stress-free way of living.

3.    Fear … less, do more!
Fear creates anxiety, doubts, and worries that literally age us from the inside to out. Fear stops us in our tracks and can take the enjoyment out of life. The only way out of fear is through it. Think about what sits beneath any fears you have, we are multi-dimensional with many layers. A surface level fear just needs a loving and understanding approach to work through it. We never stop learning about ourselves and this is something to encourage by questioning our thoughts and emotions. It all leads to greater self-knowledge and wisdom and that is a beautiful thing within itself! 
Becoming a better you directly impacts on your health and wellness, and your beauty. You can make wiser choices that help to keep you feeling young and looking well. Natural beauty and radiant health are inspired by an all round approach!
