A MFP Motivation filled mirror

in Motivation and Support
So my bathroom mirror takes up the entire wall, it's huge, you can't avoid seeing yourself in it when you walk in, and 80% of the time I think "ugh, THAT'S how I look right now?"

So I needed some positive energy to turn it around, I asked my MFP friends to leave me a comment and I would put it on a post it note on my mirror so I would think positive thoughts when I looked in the mirror and it would keep me going. They wrote awesome stuff that made me smile ear to ear.

And here they are :)

(I also wrote their screen names on the bottom of the post it to remember who wrote what in case I need to give someone an extra thank you if their note makes me extra smiley)

    Awesome! There was a time in my life where I said a lot of unkind stuff to myself - in my head, while looking in the mirror every morning. So, I found a great picture of me as a kid and I pinned it to that mirror. Every time I spoke to myself about myself I had to look at that sweet, smiling, freckled face.

    My self-talk got very supportive very fast.

    I hope that everyday when I look at it and read those things that I will learn that how I see myself right now is NOT how other people see me.

    Ive heard of people doing that, and its great for people that it works for, but for me I can't look backwards, it just makes me more sad looking at what I let myself become, I have to just keep looking forward.

    I love the idea of positive comments to yourself on post-its (hooray for positive affirmations!). This idea, of speaking to your younger self (and you have to be kind, you're talking to a kid) is brilliant. Thanks for sharing, both of you!
