Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
According to Harvard Health, self-compassion helps minimize the risk of depression and anxiety while improving your health and wellness, too! On July 3, we celebrate Compliment Your Mirror Day, which reminds us of the importance of loving ourselves and being happy with the person we work so hard to be. Some people are better at loving themselves than others, but thankfully, it’s a trait that, if practiced enough, is learnable. To bring self-compassion into your life or to increase the love you show yourself, here are a few tips to practice daily. Practice positive self-talk. Yes, talk to yourself! Your inner voice is a non-stop monologue, and when regularly practiced, positive self-talk can help to increase your happiness, reduce stress and anxiety, improve your confidence, and motivate you toward success. Take care of your body. Eat something comforting and healthy, take a warm bath, exercise, or get a massage. Caring for your physical well-being is key. If you are overtired, lack nutrition or hydration, or feel cramped and sore, you can begin thinking negatively about yourself. Compliment your mirror. A positive self-image is proven to improve your relationships with others, increase your health, and increase your chances of success. Don’t just accept your body, features, and individual beauty; embrace them! Be mindful of yourself. Have you ever lost your temper with yourself? By being mindful, you become more self-aware of your stressors, triggers, and emotions. By learning how to help yourself relax and navigate difficult situations, you can avoid painful and challenging responses. The Benefits of Self-Compassion
