Glow - Have you had one?

Has anyone ever used the term glowing to describe you, themselves, or someone around you? If so, you know that the word has a positive connotation. When someone says that you are glowing, it means that you are giving off a positive vibe, or better described as good energy. Having good energy causes individuals to be attracted to you. Not only physically, but emotionally, and mentally as well. Energy is transferable. You should always surround yourself with people who give off the same energy as you, if not better. 

In order to achieve the perfect "glow", you first have to focus on your image. Do you feel comfortable in your skin? It is important to accept yourself for who you are. Everyone is made different, but we are all equal. There is no need to compare yourself to others, or feel like you are in competition. Your biggest competitor is yourself. Once you learn that your flaws make your unique personality, it brings upon a sense of relief. You begin to feel secure in your confidence; proud to be who you are, and all that you are.

Opinions from others are not the valid source of conformation that you are going through positive changes, it is just a result. Once you start to feel better about yourself, people start to notice. That is when you will hear others tune in on your progress. The glow that you're having will catch their attention! Continue to take the time out of each day and focus on yourself. Focus on your internal needs and what your mind requires to be happy.
