A <1min exercise to connect with your feelings

Dear you, Here's a quick experiment if you haven't tried mirror work before. Let's do this one without too much thinking and rationalizing, OK? It will be worth it, I promise. Afterwards, drop a comment or hit reply to share how it felt. Find a mirror where you can be alone and undisturbed Then look at yourself. Really, look into your eyes No preening, no posing Breathe slowly Unclench your jaw Ease your shoulders down Unclench your toes One more breath Now say to yourself: I love you I am going to take care of you You're going to be OK Yes, you can say it out loud. No overthinking. Just do it. How did you see yourself? Did you feel any tenderness towards the face in the mirror? Did it feel strange or emotional, or just indifferent? I don't know about you, but I felt like crying. In a good way. It felt emotional and tender. Like a step towards accepting and loving myself. I saw myself as a little vulnerable, but felt lighter afterwards. Like I was going to be OK. That's why I am sharing this with you. If you found it helpful, please share with a friend who could use some self love 🙏🏼
