Can I just start off
by saying that I'm absolutely in-love with all the campaigns that Dove has run in
the past and even more so with the current one. Dove is launching the Choose Beautiful campaign
to encourage women worldwide to reconsider the
choices they make about their beauty and how those choices make them feel.

The Dove Choose
Beautiful film captures real women in San Francisco, Shanghai, Delhi, London,
and Sao Paolo considering about their own beauty. The women made a choice about
the way they see themselves: ‘average’ versus the frequently avoided
‘beautiful.’ The film reveals that women
often struggle with recognizing their own beauty. “Although the majority of
women don’t describe themselves as beautiful, 80% agree that every woman has something
about her that is beautiful. It’s time
women think differently about this choice,” said Steve Miles, Senior Vice
President, Dove. “Dove Choose Beautiful
urges women to embrace this choice, and inwardly challenge our tendency to not
‘choose beautiful’ because when we do it unlocks happiness and confidence that
impacts women’s self-esteem.”
How to choose #ChooseBeautiful
everyday?
# 1. One Beautiful Thought: “Thoughts become things, choose the
beautiful ones.”– Unknown.
# 2. Surround Yourself with Beauty: Our physical surroundings
impact the levels of stress that we experience, which in turn impact our well-being
and happiness.
# 3. Practice Mindfulness: ‘Don’t believe everything you think’:
Question the negative thoughts and let go of thoughts and beliefs that don’t
serve you.
# 4. Be Kind, Feel Beautiful: Notice and acknowledge the beauty in
others at least once a week.
# 5. Exercise Self-Care: 72% of women agree that beauty is not
about being born with the most, but about making the most with what you have
# 6. Practice Gratitude: Practicing gratitude is an effective way
of overriding our brain’s negativity bias, its biological tendency to always
focus and dwell on the negative.
# 7. Self-Compassion: Stop living in expectation of receiving this
love from other people only. Take the lead in making yourself feel loved.
