A <1min exercise to connect with your feelings

All it takes is a mirror

Dear you,

Here's a quick experiment if you haven't tried mirror work before.

Let's do this one without too much thinking and rationalizing, OK?

It will be worth it, I promise.

Afterwards, drop a comment or hit reply to share how it felt.

Before you do this mirror exercise 👇🏼

• Find a mirror where you can be alone and undisturbed

• Then look at yourself. Really, look into your eyes

  No preening, no posing

• Breathe slowly

  Unclench your jaw

  Ease your shoulders down

  Unclench your toes

  One more breath

Now say to yourself:

I love you

I am going to take care of you

You're going to be OK

Yes, you can say it out loud.

No overthinking. Just do it.

Laurent de La Hyre, Cupid Looking in a Mirror

How did it feel?

How did you see yourself?

Did you feel any tenderness towards the face in the mirror?

Did it feel strange or emotional, or just indifferent?

I don't know about you, but I felt like crying. In a good way.

It felt emotional and tender. Like a step towards accepting and loving myself.

I saw myself as a little vulnerable, but felt lighter afterwards. Like I was going to be OK.

That's why I am sharing this with you.

If you found it helpful, please share with a friend who could use some self love 🙏🏼
