I love mirrors.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are generally two reasons for loving mirrors:<\/p>\n

A) Because you like looking at yourself.<\/p>\n

B) They make a room seem\u00a0 bigger.<\/p>\n

My reason<\/strong> is definitely not A. I guess B is the closer answer.<\/p>\n

But I think my reason is deeper than that.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I reflect on life all day long. I am inspired every day to some deep pondering question. When I think I have something that may inspire, I either make a quick post on my Facebook page (www. facebook.com\/lisaylifecoach) or I make a post on my blogs. Mirrors reflect that I am reflective. I am reflective of just about everything.<\/p>\n

The thing is that I don’t like looking in the mirrors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I look into them as needed to brush my hair or check my clothes before leaving the house etc. Someone said that if you don’t like what you see it is a self-image issue. That got me reflecting on this.<\/p>\n

The question I have for you today is:<\/strong> Do you love yourself? Why or why not? And the followup question is<\/strong>: How can you love yourself more today?<\/p>\n

My answers:\u00a0<\/strong>I like the person I have become. I am kind. I am caring. I am considerate. How I can love myself more would be to accept that I can’t change the world. I do the best I can. You can’t get through to everyone. On the other hand you can help in the most amazing ways. Yesterday, I made one comment on Facebook, and I made a whole office of people happy. That made me feel better about my day.<\/p>\n

I want you to look in the mirror.<\/strong> Do you like what you see? Are you the person you want to be? Are you at your highest self? I know people who come close, but most of us aren’t.\u00a0 \u00a0And it is OK if we aren’t.<\/p>\n

The person who said not liking the image in the mirror was a self image issue also said those things you don’t like can be changed.\u00a0If you are happy with who you are, good for you! But if you are not happy, then you can make changes.<\/p>\n

If that is what you want, then you have to answer this: What is your ideal self? What does it mean to be at your highest self?<\/p>\n

I will let you reflect on that.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
