Beautiful Me: Writing Prompt

Give yourself at least five minutes to do this exercise, starting the time when you pick up your pen. Try not to take more than fifteen minutes.

It is about beauty and you, specifically what you find beautiful about yourself. Pretend you are speaking to an alien (extraterrestrial) via some sort of audio link. This alien has never seen a human before and is very curious about you, everything about humans, what makes them tick, how they think.

First, record your mood as of this minute. A simple sentence: I feel xyz is sufficient. Leave space between this and the next part.

Now:
We have communicated with aliens. The calls have been going on for several days, and such ideas as shapes, sizes, colors have all been successfully described. However, there is no way for the aliens to see us physically (or for us to see them). It is how the aliens discuss things. In their own words, the physical can get in the way of the emotional. Before they make visual contact, they like to connect to the intelligent life first.

You have been honored to be in on the call, along with many others. The discussion today is about physical beauty, and it has been going on for sometime. Now the alien is curious and asks each person in turn what is beautiful about themselves.

Here are some of he questions the alien is asking you. Answer as many as possible.
 

• What is the most beautiful part of your body?
• Describe that part of your body as fully as possible. (Keep in mind you need to describe if fully as the alien cannot see it).
• Why do you feel it is beautiful?
• How do you use this part of your body? What are its main functions?
• How do protect this part of your body?
• How do you decorate this part of your body
• How would you feel if this part of your body was missing?
• What makes you grateful about this part of you?

The alien thanks you for your time and moves on to the next person. Review what you have written above.

Now: How do you feel? 

Finally, after doing this exercise, record your mood.
