Look in your mirror. Go on.. have a look. What do you see? Who is starring back at you? When you look at yourself are you looking at only your reflection? Only how nice you look? Do you take a moment to look deeper then only what you see on the surface? We want to see how we appear on the outside to other people. People for the most part use the mirror only to checkout their look. Is the hair just right? Do the clothes look good? Does this make me look fat? Is the makeup too much, too little or just right? Are you handsome? Anything in my nose? Everyone does this to give ourselves confidence to go about our day. But what about those times when you look at yourself in the mirror and you don’t feel good about what you see? You feel depressed or down about yourself or things going on in your life. You don’t think you look nice at all. We are usually too self absorbed to realize how this feeling can look towards other people. Which in turn only makes you feel worse about yourself. There is much more going on with your reflection than you may know. Did you know that other people whom you associate with like those at your job or in your class are like your mirror? They will reflect you.
A simple concept, yet one that many people are either unwilling, or unable, to grasp. Your emotions, your traits and your feelings are reflected back at you from other people. Either through in-kind responses or through predictable reactions to the emotions or feelings that you’re projecting. Most of the time our feelings going on with ourselves projects outward to others around us. You can sense this when we meet someone for the first time and we may feel a “negitive vibe” from that person. They could be having a bad day themselves and they are just in a negative state of mind. Altho’ first impressions may cause us to draw a conclusion about someone like that. Passing judgement wouldn’t really be accurate. This is due to how that person feels within themselves and it projects outward to others they may come in contact with. Now a lot of people have developed the ability to put their best foot forward. Even when things may not be so positive for them. This is a good trait because what you think about within will project outward and show on the surface.
Altho’ there are people that carry themselves as if everything is great in their lives. Only to feel totally different when they are by themselves. These kind of feelings should be addressed because there is something more going on they should resolve or change. If you have to falsify feeling good you should assess what is wrong in your life and change it. I’m talking about being real here. True feelings and how they effect others and reflect you. You will project what you’re feeling inside. People who seem oblivious to these kinds of senses are usually so absorbed in what they are doing that they miss it. So when you look in that mirror next time. Get in close, look deeper and make a detemination of yourself that you are capable. You can decide how your day will go. You will have a positive productive day. Even though absurdities and negatives come into our day no matter how positive we are. The key to maintaining a positive healthy reflection is by not giving any negative events any power. Handle any problem with the best positive resolve you can, stay positive and if you catch the right moment, offer a pleasant positive comment to someone who may be experiencing a negative day.
For most people hearing kindness from someone can give them hope and make them feel better. Believe it or not, once you realize the power of positive re-enforcement, this can be helpful to someone who could use the positive boost in their life at that moment. It is also great feedback for ourselves. When was the last time you told yourself that you respect, trust and love yourself and you have worth and value as a human being? Try this while looking in your own eyes. Do you think you need another person to give you that? You don’t. When we learn to love and trust ourselves we begin to care more about what we do, what is good to keep in our lives, what to change for the better and how our outlook changes our own perception of ourselves and our lives. We allow ourselves to feel good about who we are as a human being. We are no longer concerned about what others may think. After all what others think about us is their business not ours. We find that we can do a lot more things than we thought because we gave ourselves the chance to prove it by developing our own belief and support system from within. And when you look in the mirror, we no longer think how we look to others. We think how good we feel and how wonderful of a day we’ll have. What the days experience will teach us. What positive reflection I can share with others. You will feel a self assurance and confidence about yourself.
Thats the key; embracing who you are and allowing yourself the beautiful spiritual being that is alive within you. You will reflect your thoughts and shine on the outside when you allow truth to unfold within. Its all about embracing who you are, acknowledging any faults, excepting what cannot be changed, and letting go, releasing negatives instead of holding onto them. They will only cause you grief and harm. Negative thoughts are empty energy that only zaps your positive outlook. It is quite easy to go through your entire life and never develop the skill of spotting yourself being reflected in other people. Any development in this area will improve your self-insight, your self trust and your relations with others. Happy life day.
