Reflect & Reclaim: The Mirror Technique for Turbocharging Confidence and Trauma Recovery

We all look into the mirror at some point to see our beauty or our flaws. However, did you know that you can use the mirror to heal trauma (literally)? Let's dive into the fascinating world of the mirror technique—a game-changer for boosting confidence and navigating the maze of trauma recovery.



Understanding the Mirror Technique

Picture this: it's you, a mirror, and a whole lot of potential. The mirror technique isn't just about checking your hair or rehearsing award acceptance speeches (though you can totally do that too!). It's about gazing into your own eyes and giving yourself a pep talk like a motivational speaker on caffeine. Sometimes I like to dance and look at myself in the mirror. That helps me a lot when I am feeling down.




Building Self-Confidence with the Mirror Technique

Listen up, self-doubters! The mirror is your new best friend. Affirmations are like mental push-ups. By telling yourself "I am capable," "I am worthy," or "I am awesome," you're basically giving your brain a confidence makeover, turning it into a muscle-bound cheerleader rooting for your success! Now do not just say those affirmations put emphasis on them! Say them from your core! 


 Healing from Trauma Using the Mirror Technique

Trauma can be a real party pooper, right? But here's the deal: the mirror doesn't judge. It's your safe space. Instead of seeing a past, you'd rather forget, try seeing a warrior who's been through battles and is now on a healing journey. Show yourself some love in that reflection!



Practical Steps to Implement the Mirror Technique

Ready to dive in? 

  1. Step one: lock eyes with yourself. 
  2. Step two: say something positive. 
  3. Step three: repeat daily!

Pro tip: Start small. Compliment your smile, admire your killer taste in socks—whatever gets the positive vibes flowing. If you are anything like me and love to be sensual, try this technique. 

Put on a song that makes you feel sexy. Dress in something that makes you feel sexier and sing while looking into the mirror! Embrace yourself and know that you are the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time)

I know, I know—this all sounds too good to be true. But real folks like you and me have put this into action and seen jaw-dropping results. From overcoming stage fright to bouncing back after setbacks, the mirror technique is the superhero cape they never knew they had!


Overcoming Challenges

Let's address the elephant in the room—the initial awkwardness. Talking to yourself in the mirror might feel weirder than eating cereal for dinner, but trust me, it gets easier. Give it time, and soon you'll be your own hype squad captain. 

When I first started I broke down in tears, especially when I had to attempt to forgive myself for decisions I made which were not in my best interest! It got better though.


Conclusion

Well, there you have it, folks! The mirror technique isn't just about admiring your fabulousness (though that's a bonus). It's a potent tool for reshaping your self-perception, building confidence, and navigating the stormy seas of trauma recovery. Remember, it's okay to take it one compliment at a time, one dance at a time, one look at a time!

Even When Life Feels Heavy, Remember: You’re Carrying It With Grace

There are days when everything feels like too much—when the weight of responsibilities, disappointments, and unanswered prayers presses down on you. Today is one of those days for me. My heart feels burdened, my mind is overwhelmed, and I can’t help but wonder, “Am I doing enough? Am I enough?” But in the midst of this heaviness, a quiet voice within reminds me: “You’re carrying it with grace.” Grace doesn’t mean perfection. It doesn’t mean I have all the answers or that I never falter. Grace is the gentle reminder that I’m still standing, still trying, and still moving forward despite everything. The Quiet Power of Grace When life feels heavy, it’s easy to overlook the strength it takes to keep going. We often downplay our efforts because they don’t look grand or monumental. But showing up, even when it’s hard, is an act of grace. It’s in the moments when I feel like giving up but choose to take one more step. It’s in the quiet strength I find to wipe my tears and try again. Grace is ...
