What Do You See When You Look in the Mirror?
When you look in the mirror, is it a good experience or bad? This simple test provides a giant clue as to whether your body image is positive or negative.If you look in the mirror and see all the elements of your body that 'aren't good enough' then you need to work on seeing your body, in all it's individual glory, through a different set of eyes.
Every woman - every person - is unique and individual, complete with quirks and imperfections, but the trick is to see the whole package and appreciate it for what it is.
You are an amazing person, whether you're big, small, short, tall, curvacious, slender, black, white, blonde, brunette, blue eyed, hazel eyed, big breasted, small breasted or any other characteristic that may set you apart.... You're YOU and that's what makes you fabulous, without any need for perfection in any area.
Humans, and women especially, tend to be so much harder on ourselves than we would be with anyone else. Consider if you met someone else who had your body and imagine how you would reassure them if they asked if you thought anything was wrong with the way they looked?
One of the most impressionable sayings I ever read was one that said "treat every person you meet as if they are wearing a flashing sign on their head saying 'MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL'". I suggest you take this beautiful piece of advice one step further and imagine yourself wearing the same sign when you look in the mirror... you deserve it just as much as anyone else.
