You are More than Just a Pretty Face.

The new girl at the office got your promotion. You just realized your landlord decided to cut ties with your monthly rent bills. Your best friend hooked up with your brother. Your mom married a previously college drop-out with no ambition but the couch and a Jollibee bucket. You found out your ex got together with a sophisticated, upper class woman who is way more amusing than you, in your said terms. Your group of friends are all in a relationship, and you are left out... a loner, "forever"! Life is tough sometimes, you could say. Us, girls, need to be reminded every now and then of who we are. We are more than just a pretty face, or kind offering. We have so many obligations with our work and family, and at the same time, the even more to provide to the world. Women are the new face of commanding excellence in the welfare of their surroundings these days, because they understand compassion all too well, as the dominating child-bearer on this Earth. We are smart, fierce, powerful and altruistic, all at the same time, which is why we are one of a kind, you could say. Each women has something significant compared to the last one. If you feel hopeless at the moment, or reluctant in pursuing your goals, because of sarcastic letdowns, or bad momentary slaps to the face, or maybe you just want a fresh start in your life, or to try to put your life in a better direction with exhilarating order, just get back up on your feet with these ten tips and remind yourself of what the definition of a real, ultimate "woman", significantly, is in you.

1) Clean out the Closet

Every girl loves clothes. If you aren't into clothes, now is the time. Bring out your femininity! Why don't you?! It's kind of like a remedy, much better than a drink or an expensive wine. Look through all your clothes and pick out the ones you've been wearing everyday for the past month. Now is the time to fold them up and give a new light to your closet. Pick out the expensive tops and hang them where they are at easy reach. Take the most simple and nicely-fitted jeans and put them on the first drawer of your dominant-used hand, night-stand that you wake up to first thing when you stand up out of bed in the morning. Bring out that dress that you were sworn to never wear until your first big break at the office or even the other ones meant for your first date with your awaited "McDreamy". Give your hair a new treatment and then cut the ends to look more fresh and clean-put. Buy new make-up! The best way to kick back at life is with a make-up that is an all-natural look, and not too fierce or daunting. Learn to softly, highlight your assets. You are even more daunting in fact, when the makeup isn't heavy, and people know you just have a natural aura that is highlighted. One thing to keep for sure in your makeup is a light lip-tint or gloss, a girl can't do without. And make sure your wardrobe is set with a plain white or black tee and a pair of white sneakers always. Spending money to clothes or cheap makeup (because the cheap beauty supplies are usually the best, and go much further) is okay because once in awhile we need to treat ourselves.

2) Figure Out Who Your Real Friends Are

All the toxic or any draining relationships you are in, at the moment, need to end. If you are not paying rent always on time, get a cheaper apartment. We don't need more stress in our life with arguing from our landlords or any other people, even, for that matter. If you know someone who has been using you in any some sort of way, now is the time to come clean with them. Gently, say it as it is. It will lift off pounds from your back. If you know someone is also fake with you, start avoiding them, and even those who suck the life out of you and are just down right negative, start coming forth with them, by blocking their messages or communications. You need to feel at good vibes every time you come home from work or your friends always. It doesn't mean you are selfish. It just means you are cutting straight to the chase of how things should be really dealt or handled with, in a much easier way for everyone. Cutting some people off, will also make them question their actions and think for next time, so they can better themselves. You need to then start surrounding yourself with positive and uplifting people and even some who even challenge or inspire you, in doing better, in every way, and people who care the utmost about your well-being. Hang out with people, who, when you leave a talk with or a get-together with, you feel like you have more energy for the day, not a feeling of being more drained or more stressed.

3) Make room for New Projects

Do what you always wanted to do. Those things you've been thinking of holding off, now is the time. Why in the first place, were you holding them off? If you come across a letdown in life, what better way to kick it in the arse then to bring out a more challenging and fiercer you? What better way than to show life who is talking? Don't hold off projects that are productive and get you going on the right track, especially the ones that feed your brain and mantra with satisfaction. Don't let the feeling, as if, "I have nothing to do and I am worth nothing," be at your doorstep. You are always meant for more. If you are not productive, any depression you have, will feed on itself and overwhelm you. If you are productive on the other hand, however, your soul will feed on itself and make you more and more satisfied and happy with yourself in each achievement. Also, why not trying things you've never done before?

4) Reinvent your Living Space

Is your apartment or living area, suited for bettering your mood or energizing you at the end of the day? Make sure it is not too cluttered. Have a scented candle or better yet, 100% pure essential oils, which are a godsend. They are much more soothing to your aura. Place, your favorite light blanket always at an easy reach on your working chair or inviting couch. Blankets are said to be calming to stress, and another godsend, when you are feeling overwhelmed with a long day. You don't even have to feel cold, you just have to feel snuggled! Make sure your surrounding and living space is always clean and organized, overall, also. When you have an organized room, apartment or house, you have an organized life for that fact, and you can feel more positive about any situations in your presence. You wake up and you feel like you can conquer things if you can certainly conquer your household or apartment.

5) Go Healthy!

They say you are what you eat. There is also evidence that when you eat more healthy and put better things into your body, your mood is happier and carefree as well, because your brain is being fed good. You feel better though-out the day. Eat less greasy, junk foods, especially sweets, and replace them with raw veggies, fruits, legumes, whole grains and baked proteins. Drink 8 to 13 glasses of water a day, with added cucumber or lemon, sliced, for a fresher taste. Have a mild, 15 to 20 minute workout at least two to three times a week. Then take some time for meditation or yoga, an easy relaxation. Boxing is also a trend for women these days. It releases sweat all over, which in turn gets you loose and releases any tensions. Girls find it easier to lose weight with boxing, because it gets the whole body moving and tones every part in a much softer and more feminine manner, which is nicer than most other workouts that can sometimes bulk you instead of shrink you.

6) Investing your Time in Something Worth While

Reading is the best medicine during a chaotic or stressful week. You feel more to yourself, than being drowned by any of life's demandings and quick decisions, or undertakings throughout the day. It is also entertaining and can make you feel inspired in each of the author's own ways. Authors are smart. They know what to do with their readers. The best books are the informative and life-teaching go-to's, ones that inspire you to do better with yourself and help teach you in certain aspects, especially in your career. Don't waste precious minutes of being on Social Media (a.k.a Facebook) , where you get nothing accomplished but another topic to talk about at the office. Social Media is usually full of gossip. If you are actually hooked on Social Media, then it may be better to read informative articles on the net that help you grow or learn, instead. It can be said, "Read your way better." ("The Secret", by Rhonda Byrne, or "Why Men Love Bitches", by Sherry Argov, are famous for a beginner's easy, light reading or an entertaining, informative laugh to start off with, if you are not that into deep chapters.)

7) Quality Time with Loved Ones

Sometimes it is better to get advice and second opinions from those who are most close to you and care the utmost about your well-being. Spending quality time with family and loved ones, like your older sister or younger brother, or even your aunt or grandma, is amazing when you have a rough week at the office or a bad mouth with your current bf. Don't worry what haters always say or negative people put in your front. Sometimes when you talk to someone who wants the best for you, your life goes in the best direction as well. And to top it off, the people who grew up with you or raised you, who knew you for the longest, actually give you the most honest opinions because they know you well. Take a night off, and have a family dinner or kapatid bonding.

8) Alone time with God

No matter what your religion is, we all believe in the same God. And whether you like it or not, when it comes down to the serious, you know that there is a God watching. (Don't say otherwise!) You need to examine yourself and where your life is really going. What are you doing to those around you? Close people and people you've known only for a short period of time. What impact do you leave on them? You need to examine your intentions and the intentions of others. You need to put yourself in the right place in terms of relationships, goals and your place with God, so you will make better decisions without regrets later on, and so you will feel better about yourself at the end of the day, always, being at peace. Going to church or taking a meditation or prayer helps when you are exhausted of life situations or if you feel hopeless, or even if you are just doing fine, anyways. No matter the scenario or circumstances, God is always a must, because we all were made to have a harmonious relationship with our self, others and especially Him. If you don't want to go to Church, then, at least, make a special time to be alone in your home or apartment where you can recollect the past week.

9) Time to Escape

Go on a trip! Take a vacation or a leave by yourself maybe! Take a breather and a break from things. Sometimes we need to escape our regular routine to digest everything happening in our life at the moment and arrive at the best decisions. Sometimes we need to relax, even if we have many duties, so we can run away from the world's necessities for awhile and give our self a special treat. You owe it to yourself once in a while. That way you will have time to be able to figure out better of how to conquer duties at work, or any other problems you face with your responsibilities, or even relationships. Certainly, a healthy plus to your aura! Wouldn't you think?

10) Discover Who You Really Are

By mid 20's we usually know already where we stand: where we stand with friends, where we stand with loved ones, our personality and our choice in career, who we are, all in all. You should know the best choices to make overtime, and actions to take in certain situations, at a certain age. This is a must, as an adult. Our decisions tell us who we are, initially. You can make the best decisions by reflecting on your options before taking certain actions. Think twice, and sum up what type of person you want to be to others, always.

Find your place also in your career and passions, not just in your decisions. Take time to also think of where your true place or your true niche is in your work or career. Maybe you are lucky and in the right job that is feeding your aura "brightly" every day or maybe you are in the wrong job, that isn't giving you development and making you grow in the right directions. Maybe the job you chose is really not suited for you or maybe it is and you need to rediscover your passion sometimes. Do you leave your work everyday enjoying each project, or do you leave your work everyday figuring out you didn't feel at much glee in your successes or outputs? Think of where to find yourself. Either way, just make sure that whatever you are doing, you are enjoying and love, even, if, when the day ends, you are tired.

Usually our career helps us find our personality more, because it is what we do for a living. Our career feeds our being. It is our gift, our talent. It shapes us. What place do you want to put yourself in, so you are always comfortable and growing in a satisfying way?

You should also examine if your significant other is helping you be a better person too. Is your significant other or even friends bringing out the best in you? Think in terms of your goals. Your significant other or close friends should always be pushing you up, not down, as mentioned earlier. They should be bringing you in the right directions. Your significant other sort of defines you, because the more you spend time together, the more you two become alike.

Find your correct being, in every way, to sum up this article. That is the most important point out of the ten advises. Where do you belong? Who are you? What makes you, you? What do people think of when they hear your name? When you answer these questions, you can then solve anything much easier in your world. You will conquer. You are more certain with your life, and its situations won't hurt you as bad, because you know where you stand. It is like that story in the Bible of the strong house built on the rock and the weak house built on the sand. You want to be the house built on the rock at all times, so when the wind or storms come your way, you will stay in tact. Keeping God close during any bad times is a goal well-said then, here, and even during good times. You never know what extra help, He may bring you. Bringing out the best in yourself, through being certain with your upbringings and certain with your place and comfort in this world, gives you assurance at success too. You can then prove to the world, in other words, at the end of the day, or as life gets going tough, that you are more than just a pretty face, because every woman really is. We bring power to every uncertain situation.
