Hello,

Mirrors are a perfectionist’s enemy. We look at it and we critique ourselves. We see what is wrong. 

I went to retreat for eight days where one of my goals was to embrace my beauty as I age. What happened was, for eight days, I barely looked in the mirror while I was there, but the rest of the time my reflection was given to me through the other participants who reflected my beauty, who reflected how much they appreciated me, who reflected how awesome they thought I was. 

And I felt so beautiful. 

I felt amazing. 

I felt appreciated. 

I RECEIVED IT. 

And then I came home and looked in the mirror and went, What’s wrong with me? What happened? I just felt so good last week, and I thought, Aha, I’m using the mirror and my critical perfectionist versus others’ appreciation.

So try looking in the mirror a little less, or if you do, look at it through the appreciation eye and see what that does.

Love,
