Beauty Battalion November Issue October 31, 2017 Put Your Cape On and SOAR! by Miah Green As Thanksgiving and the holidays approach many of us start thinking about what we are thankful for. For me…that is an easy answer. I am thankful that I can be ME and that gives me the confidence to be ANYTHING I dream of and set my mind to. I am grateful that I live in a time where there are no limits or restrictions on who or what we can be. In the last two years I have had opportunities that have allowed me to travel all over the U.S. and internationally. I have meet people of all ages, cultures, ethnicities and religions and I have learned so much. One of the things that I have come to realize is that everyone I meet is fighting a battle that I know nothing about yet, they are strong and continue to be the individual wonder that they are! Embrace your individuality with your head held high and be you, bravely. I use these tips from Positive Provocation to help me be my best version, hopefully they will be helpful to you: 1. How do you define yourself: Your primary goal should be to know, understand and accept yourself. 2. Don’t worry about others perceptions: To be yourself you have to stop wandering what people are thinking about you or if they like you. Don’t wear different masks for different people. Be the authentic you without being rude. 3. Focus on being honest and open: We’re all imperfect, evolving, learning human beings. Learn to own your flaws and turn them into positive quirks. 1
