is there a day or time when you’ve walked past a mirror + didn’t take a look at yourself?
is there a day or time when you’ve walked past a mirror + didn’t take a look at yourself?
whether intentionally or unintentionally, mirrors, windows, + even pools of water get a “who’s that girl?” look from me.
it happens.
what’s even more memorable is my response to the feedback of seeing a hair out of place, noticing anything on my face or in my teeth, or detecting disheveled clothing.
what do i typically do in those cases? likely the same as you.
i make adjustments in accordance with how i want to present myself.
as a collective, we tend to take value in how we present ourselves to others.
what about the inside, though? is there a reflection of that anywhere?
’cause that shit is important, too.
fortunately, there are many ways we can actively see what’s going on with our mindsets + spiritual hygiene, fam.
here are a few ways listed below:
reflecting on how we converse with others — what we say, what we don’t say, how we say it, etc.
identifying how we feel after reading literature in various media + genres
engaging in meditation + rumination
reflecting on how we respond to rest, relaxation, + silence
self-reflecting regularly via journals + questioning
hell, when we find ourselves scrolling + feel inclined to comment, we can also use that as feedback —
this doesn’t have to be complicated.
it does, however, need to happen consistently + intently.
i mean, think about it: how many times have you looked in the mirror today alone?
exactly. keep that same energy, sis.
don’t be afraid of self-examination.
whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, ask yourself questions.
question your responses.
question your motives, your beliefs.
open yourself up to learning through different perspectives + if you feel inclined, change your mind!
take as much interest in the internal as you do in the external.
are your mindset + spiritual hygiene on par with who you are?
be you, be dope!
