A tool to have a better relationship with yourself
Mirrow work is one of the most effective tools to develop a deeper connection and a better relationship with yourself.
You talk to yourself all the time anyway, why not do it in a positive and effective way?
What is mirror work?
Mirror work is you standing in front of a mirror, looking yourself deep in the eyes and talking to yourself.
Why would you want to do something like that?
People who are talking to themselves are known as being weird. But actually everybody is talking to themselves all day long. Most of them don´t do it loudly so nobody thinks they are some weirdo.
The difference between your normal self talk and mirror walk is that you are talking to yourself deliberately and not somewhere in the back of your mind. In fact, your conversation with yourself is one of the most important and effective you can have in your life.
Wouldn´t you want to use this possibility if it´s in your best interest to do so?
The deepest form of contact you can have is looking someone deep in the eyes. Remember the movie AVATAR? “I see you.” It is one of our deepest wishes as a human being to be seen.
So give yourself this gift and get in real contact with yourself.
So how do you do mirror work?
It´s you standing in front of your mirror, looking yourself in the eyes and starting to talk. You can choose any topic that is important to you at the moment: A problem you think about, your dreams and plans for the future or you can just ask yourself “how was your day, Darling?”.
What is very helpful is when you can establish a routine in your day for your mirror work. And the topic you should choose for this routine is telling yourself how much you love yourself. No matter what.
Should you choose a special place for your mirror work?
The only things you need are yourself and your mirror. You can do this anywhere you want.
There are only two requirements: You must be able to see your eyes clearly so you can make contact with yourself. And you must be alone and sure nobody will disturb you for the time your are doing this.
When and how often should you do your mirror work?
The more the better is the rule of thumb here. You want to keep the conversation with yourself going. So use every possibility you have. Even 2 or 3 sentences will make a big difference in your day.
What is good to establish is a daily date with yourself. Perhaps in the morning, perhaps in the evening when you are alone, after brushing your teeths.
Give yourself this time. You are worth it.
Who will benefit the most from mirror work?
Mirror work will benefit literally anybody. Because having a deliberate self talk will improve your relationship with yourself.
It´s especially good for people who want to get to know themselves better, if they lost connection with themselves somewhere along the way. And last but not least it´s a great tool to develop more self love in your life.
Now it´s up to you!
Do you need to develop a better relationship with yourself? Do you need more self love in your life?
Then start talking to yourself. Use every opportunity you get for doing this.
And develop a routine for your telling yourself that you love yourself. You deserve your own time for doing this!
