Mirroring Your Power -
The Mirror Mantra
“My husband just posted this under our photo in our church directory, ‘Dale loves Debbie.’ I know our renewed romance after all these years is because I finally love me.”
- Debbie G.
Next it’s time to start your daily Mirror Mantra.
In the past, our relationship with mirrors has not always been affirming, and often we avoided them because of the pain they awakened in us. It’s time for that to change.
From now on, each morning when you first get up, look yourself in the mirror and take a deep breath. Then, while looking into your eyes, say the words below aloud. When you reach the third phrase, fill it in with a word that feels good to you that day, such as“enough,”“amazing,”“powerful,”“worthy,”“courageous,”“committed,”“strong,”“transforming,”“resilient,”“awesome,”“my hero,”“phenomenal,” or“beautiful.”
As you speak this daily mantra, feel the shift of beliefs within you as the days go by. Feel the power of your words as they change your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions.
What you think
Speaking Your Power:
Freedom Phrases
As we experience with the Mirror Mantra, our words are powerful. Here are some re-phrases that will refresh our spirits and renew our hope. As you replace the old phrasing with the new, you will reboot how you think and how you feel.
Replace “I lost weight.”
(You don’t want to find it again!)
with “I am releasing my extra weight.”
Replace naming sugary food items such as,
“I was tempted by the birthday cake.”
(When we picture it, we often want it.)
with the word “sweets.”
Replace “I can’t seem to….”
(Your brain believes you!)
with “I haven’t yet….”
Replace “I need to…”
(You are all that you need already.)
with “I am going to…”
”Replace “Fat…”
(We’re releasing this painful word from our vocabulary.)
with “extra weight.”
Replace “I’m on a diet”
(Diets are temporary.)
with “I love my Get Real Program for life…”
Replace “I’ll try…”
(The mind hears the word as struggle.)
with “I will…” or “I’ll do my best.”
Replace “He/She makes me so…”
(No one can make us happy or sad.)
with “I feel a little ___ when she/he/you…”
Replace “I should”
(Don’t should on yourself or other people.)
with “I could…” or “I’m going to…”
Replace “This is hard.”
(It’s as hard as we believe it is.)
with “This is new.”
Soon you’ll be saying “This is easy.”
Remember this:
If you wouldn’t say it to a friend,
don’t say it to yourself.
