Michelle Obama and Disney Campaign To Educate About Childhood Obesity, and Healthy Lifestyles.

People who spend enormous amounts of money, time and resources on cosmetics, hair care, skin care and fragrance should also take time to cultivate their beautiful internal qualities. This is the topic of many inspirational books available today.

First Lady Michelle Obama is now collaborating with Disney. Their goal is to encourage families and children to consider healthier eating habits, and healthier lifestyles. But, what is a healthy lifestyle? It means feeling good about ourselves. It begins with an inside journey towards self-love, self-acceptance and self-worth.

If you discover an inspirational book that contains an impressive collection of ideas and observations, keep a copy by your bed, in your purse, on your desk and near your heart. Read a passage each morning to start your day off on the right track, and end your day on a positive note. Good literature is something that should be read, then read again...and again and again. It is an intensely practical activity for fostering inner health.

When you cultivate loving attitudes and behaviors, this helps train the mind toward not only health reaching outward, but also inward. Healthy attitudes will transform people who strive for self-acceptance and inspiration. If you learn to view life through a new and unique lens you will experience calm in some of the most turbulent times. Reducing stress is the key to a healthy lifestyle.

We all possess extraordinary inner qualities, somewhere deep within. Whether or not we’re aware of them, or tap into them, is up to us. Our internal beauty is profoundly more important than physical appearances. It’s something that we must develop, nurture and appreciate. We can rarely offer anything to anyone that we do not already have within our own nature. We must never allow a limited belief system or any self-doubt to influence our journey.

When we face challenges in life, having inner health means we are willing to let go of the small things and concentrate on the larger picture. We have unlimited love to give in our life. Each day, we try to open our eyes and see how love is a force impacting both our beliefs and actions, be them positive or otherwise. When we develop our inner health, miraculously, our physical health seems to improve as well.

Here are some strategies that can help develop a healthy inner lifestyle:

1. Make a list entitled:  "How to attract more joy into my life." This is a powerful exercise that helps us discover our inner happiness.

2. Write down: "What are my good qualities?" (that don’t relate to physical appearance.)  Am I kind? Reliable? A good friend? Do I enjoy animals? Do I accept other people as they are? All these attributes and a host of others relate to our inner health.

3. Make a list of: "Things I do to help others." This gives tangible evidence of our admirable qualities and how we give service to others.

4. Write a list: "What bad habits am I willing to overcome?" This exercise will help us to become more aware of limiting and repetitive behaviors that don't work, which tend to block our inner health and beauty.

5. Write a paragraph: "How can I handle challenges more productively?" Surrounding ourselves with people who have qualities we admire can instill values such as: humility, compassion, love, courtesy, cooperation, patience, tolerance, acceptance and gentleness.

6. Write a paragraph: "How am I willing to become more of a team player?"  If we are, then our internal health will tend to shine through us and people will notice.

7.  Make a list of: "Fears and regrets I am willing to let go of." What is important is freedom from regrets of the past and fears of the future. When we focus on staying in the now; in the present moment, we have gratitude for all of the abundance in our lives, and fears seem to dissolve.

Do you want to change and transform? Feel better? Cultivate a new zest for life? If so, then plant the necessary seeds daily to grow your inner health. Harvest the flowers of a beautiful mind on a daily basis, and your physical health will noticeably evolve.

Here are the essential keys to developing internal health: Avoid negative thoughts and judgment of others; eschew gossip and unflattering comments about others; focus on the similarities between people, not the differences; see the goodness in people. Try to peer inside another human being and see their inner beauty.

Following these simple guidelines will bring out the best in you. You will attract healthy people into your life, because they enjoy being around you. When you are able to attract loving and caring friends, it is the greatest reward of a healthy lifestyle.

People who learn to love themselves on the inside are more inclined to invest resources that complement and enhance outside appearances. Reading certain inspirational books can help beautify a person's insides while beautifying their outsides.  Sales associates, who increase their self-esteem from the inside, will likely sell more. You may not be looking to develop internal health, but your customers, associates, friends and loved-ones might greatly appreciate what you have done.

Possessing a rare inner beauty is a gorgeous gift; it enhances our perceived value; it commands respect; it can be used to persuade people; it enhances our self-expression; it helps people to remember us; makes it easier to convince folks of our point of view; helps build morale in an organization.

Nothing else truly matters except the way we give and receive love. Your inner health is special only to you. Celebrate it; share it. Unleash your loving spirit out into the world! Don’t keep it hidden. Use these suggestions to show everyone how your health shines from within, and you will gain an amazing and unshakeable self-confidence!
