If you grew up as a dancer, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. "The Skinny Mirror." Every studio has one...that mirror segment that for some reason or another reflects thinner than the others. You wanted to stand in front of that one. I know I did. I still do.
SO what did I learn from this "skinny mirror"?
Why do I BELIEVE the other mirror segments tell the truth while the skinny mirror just makes me feel better? What if the skinny mirror is the correct reflection? We don't think of it that way because we are all too quick to believe the negative before the positive. Sadly, that's human nature. We'll believe the gossip, hold on to the criticism, and ruminate over the ridicule.
So how about this? BELIEVE the "skinny mirror."
Easier said than done, I know. Look into any mirror and truly see you for what and who you are. You have curves, muscle, wrinkles, probably some sweat, and maybe even tears -- and all of it tells a story of where you've been and the mountains you have climbed. See it that way and you're no longer just a Shape, but you're a Story... Then every mirror reflects the same.
