Why you should have a mirror talk this month


Have a private life talk with your mirror this June.When was the last time you had a private mirror talk concerning your life? 2015 is already less by five months. You need to figure out how you will handle the remaining seven months. You can not handle the seven without critically reviewing how the five months have been. It's a great time to reflect on your life physically, financially, mentally, and spiritually. Before you start the talk, ensure you have your updated resolution list or a list of   life goals. List the challenges you have experienced in last five months looking at your contribution in the matter. Devise solutions to the identified challenges. Keep a Victory and failure list you will review during the session. Make sure the environment has visible symbols of your success like trophies won, latest newspaper clip about you or certificates you have accumulated over time.

It is a private mirror talk. It does not necessary mean you have to be in front of a mirror. You can decide to go before a wall. What matters is that it is you having a conversation with yourself  alone. Minimise distractions by Switching off your phone or keeping it in silence. It is advisable to switch off other electronic devices like radios and close the door behind you with a key.

This private talk helps you embark on a journey of  knowing yourself better. Self awareness means that you know your worth .Everything can be taken away from you but what you are can never be taken away. There are those things you know you can do even if you woke up in a foreign country? Simple things like what is your religion? Who created you? Or your family lineage defines who you are. The talk is like meditation. Scientists say that our true feelings and thoughts are communicated in the language of subconscious. It's more beneficial than standing in front of your mirror to take nude pictures. Talking to yourself silently or loudly can help organise your thoughts.

Document your talk. Write down your private mirror talk or use a recorder on your phone. This is a record of a dialogue with yourself you can refer to when you are stuck. Private mirror talk is positivity tool. It turns you into your own cheerleader to motivate yourself  to do better. Positive talk can include your life motto or quote to boost your confidence.  For example you could record or write this down "There is a reason I do what I do because no one can handle half of what I do" We all receive negative energy all the time even from our family members. There is no better way to push yourself   than talking and reminding yourself of your abilities.

Mirror talk can help with goal setting. It enables you to brainstorm steps you need to achieve things. You are able to focus more on how to handle challenges since the quiet environment improves your attention span. You may be able to get out of a difficult situation with this talk since you have enough time to set priorities. When the going gets rough, I always speak to myself words of solace to help me feel better. It can be a bible verse not necessarily a quote that relates with the struggle. A honest conversation helps you acknowledge your situation and develop the best coping abilities. Decide what is crucial and what you will not need.

 

Mirror conversation helps you visualise the world and things you want. You can act like your role model by highlighting three great qualities about them. Then present them as yours and give yourself a deadline to realistically have them. This private mirror talk helps you fake it till you make it. The bible asks us to decree anything and it shall come to pass in Job 22:28. The power is yours. State your case and write out the conditions regarding your finance, home, career, family, life, and all that concerns you. Appreciate yourself for whatever you have achieved and tell your buddy (yourself) in the mirror that you love them.
