mirror, mirror

Negative habits can affect our lives.

When you look in a mirror, what DO you say to yourself?

If it is something like "You're too fat, too old, too ugly," you may feel 'down' and de-energized from criticizing and discouraging yourself.  

Try it again.  Look in the mirror, right into your eyes.  Say a self-appreciation.  For example, "I like your smile."  "Thank you for putting pretty flowers on the table last night." "I appreciate you for persevering and raising three children."  "You did a great job completing that long-term project." "I see a very generous person."  "I love you."   

How do you feel after saying that to yourself?  

Focus on it for a minute.

We can create negatively against ourself, or

we can create positively for ourself.
