How to Celebrate National Compliment Your Mirror Day?
How
do you celebrate National Compliment Your Mirror Day? This day is on July 3rd
of every year, and it is a day dedicated to having a positive self-image. It is
a day to practice self-acceptance, self-love, and self-compassion. Begin by
looking in the mirror without feeling and without thinking pessimistic about
your body. Although this may seem challenging at times, seeing yourself
optimistically can help boost your self-esteem.
Clean your mirror
and do breathing techniques in front of the mirror. Then say compliments to
yourself in front of the mirror before you leave your home. Smile when you
compliment yourself. Also, you can say mirror quotes to yourself on this day.
One quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough, " If we would take but a moment to glance
into the mirror of our responses, we will clearly see the reflection of our
heart."
Complimenting in
front of the mirror can help you practice self-acceptance, self-love,
self-worth, and optimistic self-esteem. Yet there might be times when this can
make you feel uncomfortable, feel dissatisfaction, and frustrations. However,
practicing self-worth, self-love, and self-compassion for yourself can make you
have less doubts about your body image. Practicing appreciation and practicing
positive affirmations can help reduce stress from looking in the mirror.
Furthermore, avoiding looking in the mirror might be recommended for
understanding your feelings without being too critical with your
appearance.
Keep in mind that
avoiding looking in the mirror for too long might cause a distortion of your
self-image. It can lead to a phobia called Spectrophobia. This phobia increases
your heart rate and increases your nervous system. Furthermore, this phobia is
caused by genetics and environmental factors. It is necessary to get treated
for this phobia with a professional therapist and medical doctor.
Spectrophobia can
cause avoidance issues when socializing or other fears that cause anxiety. As
well as panicking when one sees their reflection. Covering a mirror at home is
not a solution to this phobia. This phobia can also be due to a traumatic experience
and having other hidden fears. Getting counseling is recommended for
understanding your phobia and for treating other hidden fears.
National Compliment Your
Mirror Day makes you stop and look at yourself in the mirror before leaving
your home. Take a break from changing clothes and look at yourself in the
mirror. Compliment yourself like the way you give compliments to a friend. For
example, “You look impressive with that haircut,” “Your skin is glowing like
your beautiful smile.” Another way is by doing positive affirmations in front
of the mirror.
Begin by writing down
your positive affirmations. Put them on small pieces of paper and put them in a
jar. Pick out one positive affirmation per day to say in front of the mirror. You
can also write positive affirmations in a list and tape it near your mirror. Here
is a list of positive affirmations to say in front of the mirror.
- I smile in front of the mirror with strength.
- I am satisfied with my accomplishments as I look forward to the future.
- I am optimistic and fully accept my challenges with optimism.
- I accept my body as I look at my imperfections in the mirror.
