Compliment Yourself – National Compliment Your Mirror Day

Compliment yourself! In the first place, when you look at yourself in the mirror; it is essential that you like what you see.

Compliment Yourself

So, when you look at yourself in the mirror; what do you see?

Since most people tend to be overly critical of their own appearance; it is important to look beyond your physical appearance.

Because many people suffer from low self-esteem; it is important that we recognize everything that makes us the person we are.

In the 1970s; self-esteem was seen to be something many young people struggled with. Though this wasn’t something new; it became more recognizable. In fact, in the 18th century; David Hume wrote how it is important to value yourself.

However, this day isn’t just about your physical appearance. More importantly, this day is about making changes to “Live your Best Life”.

Moreover, it is important that everyone relates to themselves.

First and foremost, it is important to think positive thoughts the next time you look in the mirror.

What the Mirror Tells You About Yourself

In fact, many people have been writing themselves messages with post-it notes, lipstick, or washable mirror markers.

For example, write yourself a message.

I am beautiful

I am enough

Mark your Mirror

Next time, you don’t like something you see reflecting back at you; take control!

When you see yourself looking sad or not yourself; it is time to turn things around. For example, try to focus on how you appear to others, Of course, you want others to view you in a positive light. And, the best way for others to look at you; is for you to put on your “Happy Face”.

Smile!

At the same time, we each have imperfections. Hence, it is essential to look at yourself with positive thoughts.

Meditate!

Meanwhile, a mirror doesn’t look inside your head. Find the beauty in yourself! When you like what you see and feel good about yourself; it is sure to shine through and of course, others will look at you and react in a positive way.

Furthermore, a mirror gives us the opportunity to get in tune with ourselves. Learning to tune into yourself; makes you a better version of yourself.
