When you sit and reflect on your life as it is now, what do you see reflecting back at you?
You see, I believe that ‘life’, the ‘world’, whatever you like to call it reflects back at us exactly what we reflect out there. So, if you are angry, irritable, stressed, miserable and sad, when you look in your mirror of life you will see that reflected right back at you, everywhere you look you will see anger, stress, misery and sadness.
Equally, if you are kind, compassionate, caring and happy, then this will be reflected back to you.
It’s so obvious and so true, but how often do we stop and think…. what are we reflecting out there?
If you are around any little children, you will notice how they reflect your mood back to you almost straight away, if you’re fun, smiling, excited and happy, they will be just that way with you, but if you show up snappy, irritable and downright grumpy, it’s literally seconds before they are reflecting back exactly the same emotions.
So, when you sit and reflect on your life as it is now, if you don’t like what you see, instead of blaming the ‘mirror’, take a look at what you are putting out there because that is what will be coming straight back to you.
Let’s not forget how much our bodies reflect our feelings, are you the person rushing past, shoulders hunched, eyes down for fear that someone might delay you, what message are you reflecting out to others, do you wonder why all you see is exactly the same reflecting back at you!
Perhaps, just perhaps your posture problems, your rounded shoulders, your head poking forwards, are partly due to the fact that you are looking into your mirror and not liking what you see?
But, wow, how simple and easy is that to change, just show the world something different….. spend today, tomorrow, reflecting out there a little more warmth, happiness, compassion and see how quickly it’s reflected back at you!
What do YOU choose to reflect??
Make sure that when you look in your mirror you are reflecting back the best version of you that you can be, and thats a pretty wonderful thing to be 🙂
