240. Be Your Own Plastic Surgeon

This week’s reflections made me think deeply about beauty.

Why do all children look beautiful? Because they’re full of energy - their faces radiate joy, love, and curiosity.

Our facial expression is the most important part of beauty.

When we express frustration, anger, or boredom, our faces often become less attractive. Over time, repeating these emotions etches expression lines - and this is how many people lose their natural radiance with age.

Plastic surgeons make fortunes promising “youthful beauty,” but they rarely mention the real consequences:

·       It disrupts blood circulation, making the face look tired and lifeless

·       It doesn’t erase the emotional patterns that age us from within

You can become your own plastic surgeon by changing your thoughts, emotions, and energy.

The tools are simple and free:

·       Make relaxation exercises part of your daily routine

·       Always have a meaningful goal to strive for — purpose lights up your face

·       Surround yourself with joy, kindness, and nature

When you nurture peace and happiness inside, it naturally reflects on the outside.

237. Hips Don't Lie

The phrase “hips don’t lie” ultimately points us back to authenticity.

People can force a smile.

They can rehearse their lines.

But their bodies will always reveal the truth.

Why? Because the body is directly linked to the subconscious mind. While the conscious mind carefully edits speech and expression, the subconscious leaks out through posture, breath, gestures, and movement.

The hips, the shoulders, the eyes—they all carry traces of emotions we may not even be aware of. Stress, fear, attraction, joy, insecurity—these states live in the body long before they reach the tongue.

That is why the body is our most honest storyteller. It whispers the truths the conscious mind tries to hide, revealing what is really happening beneath the surface.

That’s why, when we try to understand people’s true attitudes, we should listen not only to their words but to their bodies.

A body speaks softly but honestly. The way someone sits, the way they breathe, the way they look at you or linger—all of these gestures are quiet confessions of the soul.

Ask yourself gently: What does their body tell me? And just as important - what does my own body say in response?

Sometimes, before our mind has time to form a thought, our body already knows. We feel comfort or unease, warmth or distance. This is not a coincidence—it is our subconscious, the deep language of connection that exists beneath words.

When we learn to notice this silent dialogue—between their body and ours—we enter into a more authentic way of relating. We begin to see that truth is not only spoken; it is carried in the rhythm of movement, in the breath between words, in the subtle dance of presence.

The body never lies—it simply speaks the truths the heart already knows.
