Many of us unknowingly fall into beauty and beast thinking, the idea that we are either beautiful or ugly, with nothing in between. This black and white mindset leaves no room for the complexity and depth of real human beauty. If someone criticizes one part of our face, like our nose, we do not just take it as one opinion. We may treat it as proof that we have fallen from a 7 to a 1 on some imagined beauty scale. But that is not how beauty works.
When we look in the mirror, we tend to zoom in on what we have labeled as ugly. Even if other parts of us are striking or graceful, our eyes always go back to that one area we think is flawed. We ask ourselves, "Why am I so ugly?" as if one part could cancel out everything else.
The more we try to hide what we dislike, the more power we give it. Over time, this can convince us that our so called ugly parts are undefeatable. And if we have grown up in a critical environment where family or peers put us down, it becomes even harder to see ourselves objectively or kindly.
That is why in my workshops, I often say this. If you cannot see anything beautiful in yourself, come and find me. We will identify three beauty spots together. This is not about fake compliments or pretending. It is about learning to see yourself with honesty, with clarity, and with kindness. Beauty and beast thinking can be unlearned. And when it is, something powerful begins to shift. You were never just one or the other.
