Why do we spend so much time smiling at others but we have such a hard time smiling at ourselves? Don't get me wrong, it's extremely beneficial having others smile back at you -- in fact, it can be magnetic and healing at times. What also is important is that we learn to look ourselves in the mirror and learn to smile at who we see looking back at us in the mirror. It allows us to like who we see. We learn to love who reflects back at us in that mirror.
The very same thing happens when we are unhappy. Can you imagine what that mind of yours thinks or what you begin to believe about yourself if you are constantly looking in a mirror sad and unhappy or tearful? Uggghhhh....just stop it already. It's so not worth it. You are better than that. How you feel about yourself is more important than how others feel about you. You are the one who has to live with yourself. Don't you want to wake up smiling and starting the day driving into work or having your morning cup of coffee with that someone special. That's YOU! Remember, if the one looking back at us in the mirror is sad and tearful, that's exactly how you will start to see yourself.
The mirror is a magical tool. Whichever one you look in - it's the reflection back at you and how you perceive yourself that matters! Get comfortable smiling at yourself and seeing the beauty in yourself that you are. Feel vibrant! Embrace your life in a positive way. Your magical mirror is yours - You Own It! You determine whether you like what you see or not. You are beautiful and vibrant, now believe it. Be everything you can be. Take a moment each day and smile back at that face in the mirror that you see. You deserve to love yourself.
What's even better is when you grow to a level of self-love that you can laugh at yourself. You laugh and you realize you are just a big goof and that it is ok to be that way. It creates happiness within you. Laugh at yourself a few times and see how it makes you feel. If you can do this, does it really matter what others are doing? Does it matter if they are laughing? If they are, it makes things more humorous and liveable on your end. You are the one that matters in your life of happiness. Imagine what a much better parent, spouse, sibling, co-worker, classmate, friend or colleague you can be if you can wrap your mind around the idea of knowing your are the MAGIC behind the mirror. Now, SMILE! Laugh! Embrace who you are and Go With IT! You are so worth it!
