Relation with Mirror – Part 2
As you gone through the relation with mirror in part1, today let us dig deep inside with few more
points which helps you.
1. Breaking Habit of Self Criticism:
Almost all of us have a habit of judging ourself and also
has a habit of criticizing ourselves, we are so used to it that we cannot break it easily. It is
important to stand in front of mirror to break down the habit of self-criticizing. As soon as
possible we will break the pattern. When we were baby, we are open to everything, we tend
to get scared if someone tells us. As you grow older you accepted other’s opinion. You learn
to criticize yourself. Become aware of self-criticism and start working on it. Stand in front of
mirror and say these repeatedly” I release the need to criticize myself”, “I need to stop
criticizing others”. Write the list of things that you criticize yourself and change those to
positive affirmations and also carry that list with you, whenever you feel like judging, stop
immediately and read that list in mind or aloud.
2. Inner Child:
This task helps you to connect to your inner child, where you go back to your
childhood and start loving the hidden child which is inside you. When we were child, the task
given by parents are done correctly, makes us feel that our parents love us otherwise we
think that they will punish us. There is a parent inside all of us, we almost scold the inner
child continuously nonstop, you can hear from parent that what you are doing is wrong.
Every time you are scared of doing things, your inner child also gets scared. Who is this
child? Why he is not happy? Talk to the child about everything you do. No matter whatever
may be the situation never leave him aside. Follow this step now. Take a picture of yours
when you were 4 or 5 years old paste that in front of the mirror and start talking to it. Use
the nickname if you have one and make him feel comfortable and safe. When you finish
talking affirm this, “I Love you and I am there for you”. Start talking to the picture, as soon as
you share tough things, you might cry. Open your heart and share each and every thought
that is inside you, without leaving a single negative thought.
Next task for the inner child is to help yourself getting rid of the past traumas that haunts
you. If you have spent getting abused physically or verbal issues, you will be developed a
habit of hurting yourself, we feel dejected and lonely by this. The only thing you have done is
criticizing your inner child. Then we ask ourself why are we unhappy? And so on. We will
move beyond our parent’s limitations and connect to our inner child. Let us show that we
care for our inner child. We bury our feelings and the hurts from the past. To love your inner
child, it takes time and definitely it is 100 percent possibly get back to track, for that you
have work on the inner child regularly. Your inner child has beliefs that parents fed you the
hardships, rigid ideas and which makes you to go hard to yourself and probably still follow
parent’s rules. Every morning when you wake up, you might be thinking, What if my parents
shout at me today? You have to come to your consciousness in loving your inner child. If you
still neglecting taking care of inner child, you are in a loop, it shows you are not forgiven
someone. I want you to visualize taking your inner child for a trip along with you, and there
giving him the freedom to play, to dance and you are purchasing the toys which makes him
feel happy. Create a wonderful life for you and your inner child and see the universe helpingyou to heal your inner child. Love is the biggest eraser, it helps you in erasing deepest and
painful memories, because love goes deeper than anything else.
3. Body Love and Removing Pain:
Loving your body is one of the important tasks because
every cell, every organ, every emotion response helps in keeping our body fit. If you get pain
than the body suddenly response. Pain might be physical or it might be emotional. Pain
comes in many forms like scratch, disease, not sleeping, bruise, ache and so on. Pain is a sign
that body gives us, so that we can give attention that something is not right and we have to
correct it. When we are in pain we go to buy a medicine and take a pill , we are making our
body to keep quiet for a while when again the pain arises this time it will be bit severe , like
if you tell something important to your friend but she don’t listen, you will repeat it again
but with a louder voice, again if she don’t listen you get angry and frustrated or feels
unloved. We have to pay attention to what is going on, we have to listen to our body,
because body wants us to be healthy and it needs you to cooperate with it. I want you to in
front of mirror and ask these questions? From where these pain come from? What it tells
me? Is there something I am fearful? I am not able to adjust the news that I have received?
You can say these affirmations, let it be any pain or disease you are experiencing “I breathe
freely and fully”,” I listen to the messages of my body”,” I feed my body with good food”,” I
love my amazing body”, “I am safe”.
4. Release Anger and Feel Good:
As you have gone deeper to release your past, now let us
release emotion that have been in you since childhood i.e. Anger, so that you can feel good
for yourself. Anger is a natural, honest emotion. When we do not put out that emotion
outside, it forms a disease inside. We get angry over and over again for the same matter. If
we swallow it, it causes bitterness, or depression. Handling anger is very essential. If you
want to let out your anger physically, grab a pillow and hit it with stick till all the emotions
comes out. No need to feel shame or guilt while doing this. If you are angry with a person,
then go and talk with him straight forwardly, but sometimes we stop communicating with
that person, so best thing is to let out anger in front of the mirror.
Mirror helps you release your feeling out. It will make you happier once you let out your
anger towards a person, it feels as if burden of stone has been lifted from you. Anger you
feel reminds that you are not communicating well with the others.
