What Is ‘Emotional’ Beauty? It’s more than a routine—here’s how our beauty rituals are re-connecting us to our emotions. We all know how disjointing the world has been and because of that we have found ourselves seeking peace, calm and serenity among the small routines as a mode of escape. Turning routines into rituals—either drawing a bath, journaling, meditation or even our 10-minute evening routines—has fast become a place for us all to connect to our emotions and wellbeing as well as becoming the place where we seek our moments of tranquillity. The impact of stress, anxiety, exhaustion or feeling burnt out, is inextricably linked to how we feel, how our body takes on the burden and how the chemical process within our brain maximises how we feel emotionally. Our rituals come in as a physical or mental force that helps balance our emotions and as a result affects our body’s regulation system controlling our heart, muscles and brain, achieving overall harmony and balance.
“When you truly welcome wellness into your life, it orientates your emotions inwards, you become aware of how your body feels, and you begin to give those feelings and emotions priority and value,” professional biohacker and health coach, Charlene Gisele, tells Gritty Pretty. “This change in one’s intentions towards wellness and beauty is one of minimising to maximise. With wellness, if you look after the mind, the body and the soul, as they are all connected and impact each other, this thinking expands to beauty.” Chemical processes, the mind and body connection, routines and rituals — it can seem overwhelming when you piece it all together however, ‘emotional beauty’ is just about your ability to achieve harmony between your mind, body and soul. It’s about finding peace among the chaos, and, the best bit? You can introduce just about anything that emphasises your joy and happiness.
