Chapter 4:
Improving Yourself Physically
Synopsis
To a very high extent, love is influenced by your physicality. Nature has devised us in such a manner that we are impressed by a person’s looks. The initial spark of love is often dictated by how a person looks. However, you should not get the wrong meaning here.
Though your good looks are good enough as a starting point, they are not enough to sustain you in the long run. Eventually, it is the person you are that matters; your looks can only take you so far.
However, as a starting point, it is good to focus on your looks. You should not completely underestimate the importance of your physical self in attracting your paramour. That is going to happen. So, pay attention to your looks. Be vain, to a point!
Why Is Your Body Important?
There are a lot of connotations to love. One of them is the purely physical one. After all, the basic meaning of love is still the physical act. And, this is triggered by the attraction… attraction towards how a person looks. We are all attracted to good-looking people, and that is where the very first flame starts to flicker. Most times, this kind of attraction is just infatuation, and that should not be mistaken as love. But, even when we are talking about the pure and sublime true love, the physical appeal does work!

Scientists have unearthed various mysteries of the mechanism of love (though a lot of them still remain what they are—mysteries!) and among these mysteries we know of pheromones. All of us exude some hormones in the environment called as pheromones. These have no scent or any other mark, but they are inexplicably understood by people of the opposite sex. And it triggers some kind of response in them. This is why man is attracted to woman and vice-versa. It is the pheromones at work. And that is a purely physical thing.

Now, though there is no relation between pheromones and a person’s visual attractiveness, that does seem to be the case. Otherwise, why else will some people be more of an opposite gender magnet and some would repel? At the same time, this is confusing. There are people who look quite plain but are always found with people of the opposite sex. And attractive people are sometimes found alone!

We do not know yet what this mechanism of physical attraction is, or how it works, but it seems best to play along with the majority. And the majority feels that they are physically attracted towards good-looking people.
It should not hurt you to improve the way you look. This is not objectification; it is the way nature has ordained us to be. After all, when we like to look at good-looking people, shouldn’t the equation work the other way round as well?
A part of your physical self-includes being healthy. You are sure to accept this… if you are healthy, you are more attractive to people. If you are fit and fine, people will want to be with you all the more. Why would anyone be sadistic enough to be with a sickly person anyway?
So, to sum it up, these are the things you should really focus on:-
- ® Keep your weight in check.
- ® Keep fit with regular exercise.
- ® Do not become a cosmetic king or queen but do take care of the way you look.
- ® Get a smart haircut.
- ® Embellish yourself in any way you want.
- ® Improve upon any health defects you may have.
Pay attention to these things closely. You may not be able to achieve all of these in a day, but do keep them up as a consistent process. Even when someone falls in love with you, you cannot stop doing these things. You owe it to your partner to keep looking good!
Tips to Improve Your Body
Now, you are probably not intending to become the most handsome or beautiful person in the world, but there are a few things you can do to improve your physical being.
- ® Think about your body first. You have to get your body in shape. The best way to go about it is exercise. Go for a jog or at least a brisk walk every morning. This will help you stay fitter and, more importantly, it will give you a clear time to think each morning. The solitary thinking time you get every morning is a veritable perk.
- ® Eat moderately. Avoid the high carbs and the high calories. Do not gorge on fatty food, however much tempted you might feel. Instead, chomp on those veggies and fresh foods. Instead of red meats, consume more of lean meats. Drink about 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Never fill your stomach to its full capacity.
- ® Give your body the pampering treatment occasionally. Go for a nice haircut, and do not underestimate the power of those manicures and pedicures as well. Keep your salon appointments going on; they help you feel good about yourself.
- ® Just before you are starting out with exercise, have a cup of coffee. The caffeine present in it will stimulate you to do more exercise. Also, this combination has been recommended by specialists for optimizing the body’s workouts.
- ® Listen to music when you are exercising. This makes exercising more pleasurable. You must choose your music wisely. If you choose something that has quick, peppy beats, then your body is going to work out in the same rhythm as well.
- ® Have a lot of salads. One thing that you should definitely add in your salad is avocado. This enhances the effect of vitamin A in the salad. Vitamin A is abundant in foods such as carrots.
- ® If you eat something that is high in fat, eat a little yogurt afterward. Yogurt has significant calcium content. The calcium will adhere to the fatty acids and prevent them from getting absorbed in the body.
- ® Choose your foods wisely. Choose everything that is organic. Stay away from foods that are laden with preservatives and other synthetic chemicals. These are going to harm your body in various ways in the long run and slow down the metabolism.
- ® Feed your mind with positive thoughts and enriching knowledge. When your mind is enhanced, your body is improved as well. Spend some time in meditation each day. This will give you clarity of thought and you will be able to plan things in a more concise manner.
- ® Work hard, and then rest hard! Your body needs to find the sense of gratification. It cannot feel contented unless you use it to do constructive work. Then, you must make sure that you get adequate rest. Do this on a daily basis. When you work to your maximum capacity and then rest deservedly, your body gets a particular kind of glow… it sends out a great aura that adds to its appeal.
Do these things consistently. Pay attention to your body and you will see that its attractiveness begins to increase. This is highly important.
When your body becomes attractive, you are automatically ‘in the eyes of people’. People cannot resist looking at you. Your goals of finding someone who finds you attractive are met!
