MIRROR, MIRROR!

Good [manic] Monday viewers, before I jump into the next topic I'd like to give mega-appreciations to all of you for visiting this blog-site, I truly hope these articles are inspiring you and wish the best for all of you on your journey! Let's get started, I'm sure everyone is familiar with the saying ''the eyes are the window to the soul'' as this couldn't be more truer when you're speaking with someone and maintaining eye contact, usually, you'll pick up a certain vibe from a person and even more so as you can usually read that person by looking them in the eye. Eye contact is important, it shows how authentic you really are and it's a key ingredient towards a successful life, to look someone in the eye when speaking to them shows courage as well as confidence. I have found a very beneficial practice that sets the stage for self confidence, courage, and success, the only tool you'll need is a mirror. All too often we'll get up in the morning looking into the mirror and notice what's wrong with us, we'll notice some new wrinkles on our face, we'll judge that ''spare tire'' around our waste line, or even worse, we'll avoid looking at ourselves all together, because we just don't like what we're seeing. What we fail to understand is that we're basing everything on what's ''outside'' of ourselves, and when we do this we can't find that happiness inside. Everything good that happens to us comes from within, but there IS a shortcut, [yes, I said it] there is a way to bypass the ''outer'' distractions and program yourself for success, from within. Before you can do this however, you must be honest and true to yourself, this is because you will be looking at the physical you, [in the mirror] and speaking to the greater you, through your eyes, and what you speak [words are powerful] will determine where you are energetically. Going further into detail, say you are looking into the mirror and you affirm ''I am wealthy'' but as the words come out you feel a certain tightness/tension, or you look away from your eyes, [you want to maintain eye contact with the greater you] this would indicate that your beliefs conflict with being wealthy. Another way to go is to affirm to the greater you [in the mirror] that you are grateful for what is currently in your life now, this will position you for great success with this practice. I cannot emphasize enough how powerful this is, and with persistence your outer world will change dramatically but I must warn that at first this may feel really strange to you, so ease into it and don't try to make huge leaps, first find things that are good in your life, and tell the greater you that you appreciate them. After some time, more outside evidence will support your newfound appreciation, and while this occurs you'll have more confidence when you look at and speak to the greater you. I'm kind of a rough edged guy, but I'll still look at myself and say ''I friggin' love you man!'' so it's VITAL that you love yourself first, as a matter of fact I encourage you to do this first and foremost in front of the mirror until it ''feels'' good to you, looking at yourself through source energy, then move towards affirming more desired spoken words, that resonate with feeling grateful about the physical qualities, you possess, we all have them. A lot of times affirmations can be tricky because our mind refuses to believe them, like myself in the past, we'll try to leap too far when we're not ready, but there's something about looking into your own eyes in the mirror that causes you to speak the real truth, you wouldn't lie to yourself, so you would want to affirm something good that's happening in your current reality, and it just grows from there, it's friggin' powerful! Here's what you do, look into the mirror after waking up, withhold any judgments if you can, if you can't look into your own eyes at first that's fine, you'll work up to it, now find things that you appreciate about you [I know you've got some in there!] and say them aloud, c'mon, nobody's looking, at first you may feel uneasy, that's okay, persistence is key and it will reap it's own rewards. Repeat again just before bedtime, make it routine along with brushing your teeth, keep at it, as you are in direct communication with the broader you, and over time you can begin commanding your intentions by stating them as truth while looking yourself ''directly'' into your eyes [source] which allows changes in your physical reality to happen much faster, do this for thirty days and watch what unfolds, great stuff I assure you!
