How to Be Attractive

I realized the other day that many of the beautiful people I know don't actually have clear skin. They don't have profound or amazing body types, either. Their hair does not toss or glisten the way the lady-in-the-shampoo-commercial's hair does. But I have some friends who are really, really attractive! What could the secret to all this attractiveness be?

With that in mind, and prompted by a subject heading that flew past my eyes today, I present:

4 Steps to Make Yourself More Attractive, Guaranteed!

First, remove some of the mirrors in your house. People who spend a lot of time looking at mirrors, especially with the wrong attitude, end up frowning a lot more. They look more worried. They put on way too much makeup. And mirrors are also addictive, and addictive, negative behaviors are very unattractive. Keep a few mirrors for introspection, but try to cut down.

Next, remember that you are all that you need. You are good enough, just as you are, without any additions. Adding more people, more weight, or an urgency to please other people might be useful and fun in small doses, but when people do that too much, it makes them very unattractive. They scowl a lot. It's great to try and be more, to achieve more, and to inspire more--but stressing out about it just makes you scowl.

After that, spend some time focusing on and appreciating things and people. The act of appreciating anything, be it art, music, or another person, makes us all more attractive. Something about the way the face opens up, or the way the soul rises from the bottom of the pool and brightens the surface. I don't really know the science behind it, but it works.

Finally, love someone. Love is an action, not an emotional state. I mean, being "in love" will definitely make you more attractive, but that's a hard state to get to, starting from zero. So start by loving someone, with action and intention. Find a real and honest reason to compliment a person in your life. Or maybe try holding yourself in the mental state of empathy with another person's concerns. Listen, or talk, according to your beloved's needs. It's really, really sexy. Takes years off.

The above steps tend to cascade into other steps. The steps will make you smile more, which always makes a person more beautiful. They will cause you to walk more erect, with your eyes up and around. They lead to greater energy, which is always extremely attractive. They improve overall health, too, and healthy people are more attractive than unhealthy people (it's Darwinian or something). You will be more confident, and confidence is beautiful. Oh, and those steps can also lead to more laughter. I've looked, and I'm pretty sure you're pretty when you laugh.

Love you,
Douglas

p.s.
I don't really blog much any more. Sorry about that. Hope you are all doing well.

p.p.s.
The reason I'm not blogging much any more is probably that I'm trying to do more things like this.
