Oftentimes, what comes out of our bodies are manifestations of whats inside us. This could mean, the type of outlook that we have as shown by our attitudes may be looked into, as to how we look when viewed from the outside. What do you think?

yes, i agree with you. that is why some people who practise mediation or yoga have a beautiful outlook as you call it.

if you think positively and be happy as much as possible, the beauty from within shines....sometimes, i think that is more pwoerful than the make-up

well i agree with you on that..what you are deep inside well always comes out in your aura..or in your physical being..

Yes, of course. This is why mean people often look, well, mean. There is a definite mind-body connection. Some of the sickest people are the nicest, and they radiate that with their entire physique despite their debilitating, chronic illnesses. We unconsciously display our emotions with our facial expressions and body posture, so a relaxed-looking person is very likely to be relaxed in terms of personality and emotion as well.

I think I often portray stress. I'm often unconsciously fidgeting, am tense, have large bags under my eyes, and do not glow with health and happiness. However, when I'm confident and happy, bam! The complements on my appearance pour in!

Perhaps we should try to be more conscious of the emotions we are expressing, particularly the negative emotions so that the underlying problems can be addressed and we can exhibit the physique of interesting, attractive and inviting individuals. Talk about an exercise in mindfulness!

well, maybe in movies, soap operas and Indian Mega serials.

In real life good looking people can be pretty mean.

I certainly understand what you are saying farce, a good looking person does not always have an equally good heart, unfortunately. I don' think it was implied here; what others were saying was that inner beauty shows, and often transforms the whole "outlook" of the person.
