Mirror Mirror on the wall- How to Find yourself a kinder mirror

Let’s get real, what do you tell yourself when you walk past a mirror and catch a glimpse of the person staring back at you? What feelings fill up your body when you look at her? Can you relate to phrases and feelings like;

‘Oh god, look at those bags under your eyes, do you even sleep woman?’
‘Pretty sure you have more freckles than you did last week and you haven’t even seen sunlight!’
‘Your eyebrows are going to host their own TV show soon’
‘You need to make more of an effort, who would find you sexy?’
 
Or even worse, you don’t even look at her anymore because you would rather not feel those feelings at all.
 
This used to be me! And the sad thing is I am pretty sure I am not alone.
 
Now it’s a different story, I happily walk past a mirror and give myself a big smile and can comfortably tell myself these beautiful phrases and better yet, believe them:
 

• I am so proud of the person you are
• You are so beautiful
• You were really kind today
• You have the most unique life lines (aka scars) with their own story to tell
• You should smile more, it suits you
• You are shining bright sista- friend
  
  

Don’t get me wrong, I still have days where my inner mean girl comes out to slap me across the face but it’s a hell of a lot less that it used to be- and thank goodness for that! I started changing the way I speak to myself about 12 months ago when I realized that I had been speaking mean to myself for over a decade and that hadn’t got me anywhere so I had nothing to lose. Let me tell you it is hella uncomfortable at first, but it shifted so many things for me and was a corner stone of my healing journey. It sounds weird, I know but the person you spend the most time with and who has the biggest impact on you, is you my friend.

For those that have never tried this and can relate more to person A than person B all you have to do is follow these 5 simple steps.

1. Start by acknowledging her existence, get comfortable with staring back at her
2. Write a mantra on your mirror in either lipstick or on a sticky note to remind you to do this every day, something like “You are enough”, “I Love You” ,“You are beautiful”
3. Tell her what you wish you could have told your 12 year self
4. Start with just one thing you love about her and increase it every day for a week
5. Show up for her every single day and fill her with the love she deserves, keep telling her over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over….. and well you get the picture repetition and consistency is KEY!

It soon will become engrained in you to look for the beauty within you, which will raise your vibration and heal those broken pieces bit by bit.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of all? Why you are of course and never forget it!

Now go on and bask in your awesomeness.
