Mirror Mirror - learning to love what we see (S1E11)

Tap to send me your reflections ♡

A few years ago I started smiling at myself in the mirror...

The real story is what the smiling replaced.

This podcast shares my story of how I see myself - and how the stories we have grown up with influence how we see ourselves. It is also about how we can change - how we have a choice about what we think and what we choose to do.

You might find you engage with your mirror-self in any one of the ways I've listed below - and the ways may change, depending on your mood at the time, I know mine did (and if I'm honest, still do):

• Give yourself the most cursory glance and move swiftly on
• Avoid looking in mirrors at all
• Take every chance to look in a mirror, and then regret doing it
• Frown, gurn, scowl and deliberately make yourself look 'worse'
• Use the mirror as an opportunity to identify all the things that are 'wrong' with you
• Hiding in photos - or hating every photo you see of yourself

My own learning was this. We can all change our self-think. And while I know there are many facets to my own change journey, one step we can all take, straightaway, is surprisingly easy... smile.

I share the process I took myself through and how it has transformed the way I see myself.

I also reference the work of Louise Hay - after I had taken myself through my own process to identify and change how I was behaving toward myself, I discovered the work she had pioneered called 'mirror work'. It was a relief to know I was not alone in how I saw myself.

If you would like to work with me, to gently explore your own self-perception and sense of self-worth, then please do get in touch. I know how fundamental this shift was for me and I'm here if that is useful for you in your own journey https://www.reegroup.co.uk/contact
