Who do you see looking back at you when you look in the mirror? For years, all I could see were flaws, blemishes, and self hate. Doing mirror work over and over again, along with these daily practices has changed my life. My eyes softened, my heart opened, and I began to see who I really am. Love! I know some of these daily activities may appear silly, and you may ask why bother? That is the point. It is the things that we do day in and day out that create the lives we want to live each day. Today when I look in the mirror I can look myself in the eyes. Smile, and say I love myself. That is growth at a core level of my life. Today I don't look for anything other than beauty, joy, happiness. This is transformational growth at a level that I have not experienced any where else. Take the time to look at yourself in the mirror today and see what and who you see looking back.
Day 16: Mist, mirror work, stand in front of a mirror and recognized the beauty of who you are.
Do I have to? Why do I have to look at myself in the mirror? I can tell you about all the flaws without looking.
Today when I looked in the mirror I noticed my beautiful eyes. They are an amazing shade of blue and they are so loving and kind. I love today, that when I look in my eyes I can see what others see. Compassion, love, acceptance, and safety. I noticed a change in my face and the way it has transformed over the last 3 seasons. I noticed my smile and how wonderfully it illuminates my face. I took in the fullness of my body, my skin, my hair and with heartfelt gratitude as I told myself how proud I am of who I am and what I am doing in my life today.
Today I looked deeper than the outside surface of the persona that I represent and looked at the beauty of my soul and what it brings to the world. I experienced love in a deeper capacity than ever before. I felt love, deep abiding love for who I am, and for what I bring to the world. I felt open and receptive. I felt the changes that have been made in my day to day life showing up in the reflection of the mirror of life today.
I have shared my journey with mirror work with Seasons of Change and how when I first started I would find every flaw, every blemish. I have shared the before and after pictures of my journey into health and wellbeing. It is easy to see the dramatic changes that have occurred over the last 3 season of my life. It is often easy to recognize the visible changes but what about those changes that have occurred due to the new thoughts, new beliefs, and new habits that have been created in my mind and soul. What of the calm that is my essence today. Today when I looked in the mirror at who I am, I experienced a feeling of calm, peace, love, and joy that I had not before.
Looking in the mirror today, I saw love looking back at me. Now that is growth from the inside out.
I love you,
Rev Allen
