YOU LOOK BETTER

Who doesn’t want to look better? Most people will tell you that this is a shallow motivation to have, but when you really think about it there is nothing innately wrong with wanting to look better. Life can be easier for you when you look attractive to the people around you, and society as a whole mostly considers people who are fit and healthy to be attractive. Certain things happen to your body when you are healthy: your skin looks better, your hair is shinier, you don’t carry around excess weight, and a large number of other attractive residuals occur when you work at being healthier. This does not have to be your main motivation for getting healthy, but there is nothing wrong with including it among your list of motivations. You should know that the mere act of getting healthier will probably make you look better overall, even if that was not a motivating factor for your goals. Think of it as a bonus for your hard work.

This can be a great motivation – but probably not the best one. Getting healthier often translates into looking better. When you are healthy you simply look better than if you’re unhealthy. Only you know what the best motivation for you is when you’re trying to get healthy, but you may want to steer clear of only working towards better health because you want to look better. There are a couple of reasons for this. One reason is because health is about so much more than how you look. While it is true that as your health improves your appearance will probably improve as well, you should focus on your health as your main priority. You don’t want to reach a point where you think to yourself, “Hey, I sure look good, I guess I can stop trying now.” Getting healthy is an ongoing goal and should not end just because you reach a point where you feel like you look good. You should also remember that society finds some traits attractive that are not necessarily healthy. For example, there is a big difference between maintaining a healthy weight and starving yourself because that’s the look you want to attain. You must also remember that no matter how healthy you are there are physical attributes that will wane. You’re going to get wrinkles and you’re going to start sagging eventually no matter how healthy you are, and if you put too much stock into your outward appearance then you may have an unrealistic view of how healthy you are. Let a desire to be more attractive be a motivation in your quest to get healthy, but do not let the desire to be attractive rule your motivation for getting healthy.

Your self esteem can go through the roof. Unless you have a personality disorder you probably don’t have perfect self esteem. You probably will never have perfect self esteem no matter what you accomplish in life and no matter how many steps toward better health you manage to take. You will probably find, however, that your self esteem does increase exponentially when you start taking steps toward better health, and not just because you may start to look better physically. Think about it this way: how does it make you feel when someone else values you so much that they sacrifice for you and care deeply about you and your well-being? Most people would answer that it makes you feel great, and that it makes you feel as though you have more self-worth (and thus higher self esteem). Now just imagine getting that feeling from yourself because you are the person who is taking the time to make sure that you have everything you need and that you are in the best health you can be. You can indeed give yourself a real feeling of self worth. You don’t need someone else to do that for you. When you really take the time to care for yourself and about yourself then you can’t help but feel better about yourself. Be your own best friend and you’ll notice a vast improvement in many aspects of your life.
