Have you ever climbed out of the shower and looked into a steamed up mirror? What do you See?
You will see that your vision of yourself is reduced or limited.
This is a reflection of your own experiences, memories and life changing situations, that we all experience often clouding our judgement leaving the visability of ourselves limited, blending together to form a definition of our own perception of our own beauty.
1. Mirror one is our childhood.
How we perceive ourselves as a young child.
Cocooned by kind and loving words from our parents and relatives.
Our parents hopefully providing us with a security blanket.
Positive memories or maybe not. We are not all blessed with loving parents.
2 . Mirror 2 is our adolescence.
This mirror is a sensitive mirror, the most sensitive of all.
Open to criticism from friends and peers.
Some are enemies who are hurtful, calling names.
Our skin and bodies changing through puberty.
We are testing the real world, which sometimes can be unpleasant.
Leaving us a little sensitive, vulnerable and insecure at times, giving us a false understanding of what beauty is.
3. Mirror three is the maturing mirror.
As we get older we have more insight and wisdom.
We understand ourselves a little better.
But we are still filled full of socially constructed ideas.
We are bombarded by images of what beauty should be today.
Full of media, popular culture and celebrities boasting about themselves, giving us all a false ideal of what beauty really should be.
The vision is still hazy.
4. Now for mirror four.
This is the new mirror.
This mirror is going to help create a new unique you.
We are going to wipe this mirror clean to open and see the real you, your real natural beauty. Clear all misinterpretations and negativity.
When others look at you they see your personality, character, radiance of sprit, intelligence and much much more.
A mirror is a reflection of you but it is not how people see you...
All of these factors make up an overall beautiful you.
We need to accept ourselves for what we were born with and stop everyone trying to look the same.
We are unique, there is only one you, it’s a gift recognising real, natural beauty in ourselves.
I believe that true, natural beauty is made up of our kindness our strength of character and radiance is a true beauty.
