The mirror exercise

  • 2018
Self-knowledge depends a lot on our ability to perform personal honesty exercises.

Modern psychology has developed techniques of self-knowledge, which allow us to evaluate, correct and perfect those aspects of our personality that require it.

To be able to integrate societies and their dizzying pace of life correctly, it is very important to take the time to evaluate our personality .

Sometimes we do not feel satisfied with who we are, fortunately there are great tools of self-knowledge that allow us to assess our thinking schemes and structures, in order to correct those aspects that prevent us from integrating under concepts of modern globality, but above all under the universal principle that we are all one with the cosmos and with the creative energy.

Often human beings perceive an altered image of ourselves due to misinformation or as a consequence of prejudices and insecurities.

The first stage of this exercise suggests that we become aware of our own worth, abandoning concepts such as ugliness, disability, mediocrity, shyness and lack of motivation.

You need a mirror in which, preferably, you can see yourself full body. Sit comfortably in front of the mirror and evaluate what you think of the person you are looking at. If, as an initial impulse, the first thing that comes to mind are phrases such as: "what a horrible hair", "he is always so afraid of change", "he is invisible", "he will never achieve anything good in his life", etc. Surely you need this exercise .

It is likely that the feelings and ideas that you experience that of your reflection in the mirror are authentic. However, you must strive to change these conceptualizations from their origin, and train your mind and your emotionality, to recognize in yourself and in what you project, only the reality of your divine origin. No one was created as incapable or mediocre. These concepts have generally been sown in our mind from the outside.

So you should ignore them and accommodate only the recognition of your true essence. As an example, if you do not like the reflection of your hair, you have two options, go to visit your stylist and make a radical change.

The other option is to recognize that in all creation there is beauty and that your hair, even if it does not meet the standards and prototypes of current fashion, is still part of your body. It is yours and just for that it deserves your love. You should consider in the same way any aspect of your image or your personality that you do not like.

Sometimes our behavior, decisions and concrete actions are nothing more than the reflection of the people around us.

The next stage of the exercise confronts us with the need to understand that the environment affects our personality, in the same way that our attitudes can alter the reactions of third parties towards us.

In this case, you will not physically require a mirror . It's about focusing your attention on analyzing, understanding and evaluating, why sometimes you feel upset, irritable, sad, depressed or vulnerable.

Surely it has happened to you to return home with a feeling of anger because you had to go to the bank and the cashier was not cordial with you. Or because it was your birthday and your best friend forgot to call you to congratulate you, and that made you very sad. Actually, we must understand that there is not a single emotion experienced during the day that is not specifically the reflection of what we harbor internally.

That is, you cannot expect smiles from other people if your attitude when leaving home is negative and prone to imbalance. On the other hand, you need to make a great effort to understand that the unpleasant attitudes that you receive from other people for sure are only the reflection of a lack of harmony in your emotionality.

In short, only you are responsible for the quality of your daily experiences.

Denial is a trick of the mind to avoid the responsibility of solving what must be solved.

The last stage of this exercise is intended to enable us not to avoid reality. Some people look at their reflection in a mirror, or do an introspection exercise, and as they do not like what they observe they choose to deny or not recognize that there are problems. For example, if your co-workers constantly say that your general personality is angry or negatively, and you look in the mirror and find nothing but the frown and the absence of a smile, it is likely may your partners be right.

Sometimes it is difficult to accept that the information or evidence we obtain from abroad are revealing a problem that needs to be solved, because it implies emotionally that we have to accept that we have failed or that we have been acting outside the par. meters that we consider appropriate.

Denial usually occurs when the person doing this mirror exercise feels that they do not have the necessary skills to correct the problem. However, part of the purpose of the exercise is to understand that we can all make mistakes and that this does not condemn us to remain in error.

As long as the awareness of our divine origin lives in our hearts, we will have the possibility of recognizing ourselves and loving ourselves healthily to allow us to evaluate those changes that will perfect our existence.

To conclude, we assure you that the first thing you have to do is to give yourself permission to observe yourself objectively. Observe both the physical and mental and emotional aspects that make you up so that you can decide what you want to change, what you want to keep and what you need to recognize to raise your potential.

You only need your highest degree of self honesty .
