The concept of inner strength affecting our outer beauty is like a vicious cycle. Without outer beauty, we feel like we have very little inner strength. And without inner strength, it’s hard to have outer beauty. See how inner strength is the key to outer beauty in many positive ways.
A person’s confidence can greatly affect another person’s perception of them. Even a physically beautiful woman can be looked at differently if she doesn’t believe in herself. Likewise, a physically imperfect person can win us over with their confident attitude and outlook.
How Inner Strength is the Key to Outer Beauty
Once Upon a Time You Believed You Were Beautiful
What happened to that little girl who didn’t nitpick herself in the mirror? The one who wasn’t concerned with how big her waist was or whether or not her nose had the right shape?
Your inner beauty as a child knew no boundaries. It was unstoppable. As you grew up, you opened the door to allow influences to weaken your inner strength and confidence. Magazine layouts, peers, and perceptions of what was perfect and what wasn’t invaded your thoughts.
Somewhere along the line you began trying to fix yourself. You wanted to conform to that perfect perception, and when you couldn’t, you stuck a big label on yourself that described you as faulty.
No one else can hand you back a clean slate where you believe you’re enough, beautiful enough, thin enough, young enough, etc. It has to be rebuilt from within and you have to start taking back control over those thoughts.
You have the power to take back this control, and use it to give both your life and business a boost! Check out the Top 10 Habits of Successful Entrepreneurs with my Path to Making Millions Checklist. Click the image below to get your FREE copy!
Use Your Power to Fix What You Can Control
No one is perfect, and sometimes yes, there are things you will want to, or even should, make better about your outer self. But only if you say it should be fixed and you’re not relying on the opinions of others.
Some things you can control. If you hate how much you weigh, then you can control that with proper nutrition and exercise. If you nitpick your wrinkles, then you can adopt a better skincare regimen and drink more water to reduce fine lines.
If you feel slovenly and lazy, then you can get up each morning and tap into your inner strength to make things better for yourself. Once you know how inner strength is the key to outer beauty, you can make small changes day by day that add up to a whole new you if you want to.
The key in using your inner strength to improve your outer beauty is to be proud of who you are right in this moment. Be proud that you read this and looked for a way to better yourself because many people just don’t care.
As you start to define yourself according to what you’re capable of – according to your inner strength supplies, and you’ll notice that your outer beauty automatically takes a turn for the better because you feel empowered and strong, and you’ll take care of yourself more to reflect that mindset.

We should always be proud of who we are and what we look like, we have fought long and hard to get here…if we feel good about ourselves that is the first step. What we feel inside always shines through… great post!
I definitely agree, Renee!
A lovely post, Jennifer. I agree completely. There is such a strong link between the mind and our physical self. I can truly attest to this. I did a recent write-up on my website about my struggles to find myself and how finding my true self lead to weight-loss. You mind it interesting, as our two subjects are quite similar.
Thank you, Glenda. What an incredible post yourself. You look great by the way. Everyone goes through their own journey’s, and we have to remember that healthy living is a happy home. In order to change, you have to want to change for the better. Thank you for sharing your story as it inspires me! 🙂
