Is there anything to tell yourself in the mirror? Does talking with mirror sounds crazy? No, not at all, I love mirrors, they can be your best companion if you want them to be. When I was in my teenage, I used to spend a lot of time in-front of mirror and I felt that I am very beautiful (many of you have also done this I am pretty sure). Now I can relate to that, beauty is perception, our thought makes thing or any person beautiful. Our positive affirmation make us feel special and beautiful.
Why we should talk to mirror everyday
It is very necessary to remind ourselves our strength everyday. And nothing else can reflect you better than mirror. Through mirror you can not only see your outlook but it has the power to show your inner look. And the conversation of yours through mirror has the power to change your thoughts. So the positive affirmation that you talk in-front of mirror enhance your self esteem. There are days when we feel zero and it happens to everyone but that doesn’t mean it is the end. You need to remind yourself each time, look yourself in the mirror and compliment yourself : “I Can Do It”.
PsychologyToday had described how important is mirror in our life, it has explained the importance of seeing and understanding our own reflection.
“Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.”
Ernest Holmes

These are some very positive messages to tell yourself in the morning. I think so many of us struggle with this because we’re not supposed to think about ourselves, especially if we are women. But this is something I will think about in the future.
Giving self-affirmations is important because it gives self-confidence, sometimes we need to talk to ourselves in the mirror and give ourselves a pat in the back.
