Find 2 minutes a day to stand in front of a mirror and begin therapy. This is an effective way to boost your self-esteem. It also allows you to release negative feelings, calms you down and makes you feel better, says Louise Hay, a therapist quoted by Power of Positivity who has developed her own exercise method.
As the therapist explains, this type of therapy allows you to accept yourself. This, in turn, leads to more satisfying relationships with others. Mirror therapy consists of looking at your reflection every day for a certain period of time, even just 2 minutes, and talking to yourself.
“Think about the best time for you to go to therapy: it could be in the morning, when you are about to start your day, or before you go to bed. Some people need to work with a mirror several times a day to overcome the negative feelings that arise,” says therapist Louise Hay.
What and how to say to the mirror?
Standing in front of a mirror, you can talk about your emotions and feelings in your own words or find ready-made formulas that can be found on the Internet. It is best to find a moment when no one is around. This will allow you to open up to yourself without worrying about what other people think. It is important not to hold back your emotions and speak honestly. Writing down the most important thoughts and activities in a notebook also works well so that you can return to them, the therapist notes.
“When something good happens, you can look in the mirror and thank yourself for making it possible. Likewise, if something bad happens, you can tell yourself that it will pass and that you still love yourself the way you are.
