Let's Start 2012 With Confident Reflections

One of the greatest pleasures of a new year, like a new list is, it begins with the number one. This year, like many before, we begin with promises to ourselves. My thoughts are when you know better you do better. Today IS different. This IS a new day. We know better and we'll do better with a very powerful practice to keep that promise to ourselves and stay at the top our list as NUMBER ONE. Ready?...sure you are.

This powerful practice is called mirror affirmations. All you need is: 

Yourself, (full attention)

A mirror, we're never far from one (home, car, purse, at your desk, etc.) 

A promise to (yourself) to repeat your affirmations, ten times, twice a day (mornng and evening), for 30 days (powerful affirmation below)

Keep yourself as number one item on your list means having a firm commitment. You'll feel the world responding to you in amazing ways. How? By the way you respond to yourself, your feelings, and most importantly by your reflection...that one of a kind, amazing person before you...that's right YOU!

I learned about this technique some years ago by reading some of Louise Hay Books, assigned reading, in my psychology classes.  Louise Hay, is the author of the international best seller You Can Heal Your Life, is a metaphysical lecturer and teacher with more that 40 million books sold worldwide. Louise (84) is the founder and chairman of Hay House, Inc., which contribute to healing the planet.

WHY mirror work affirmations will work is explained further on Louise's Blogpost titled Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall. I suggest that you read her post twice and see how you feel repeating her suggested affirmations. 

The great thing about affirmations is they're everywhere (yes there are Louise Hay iPhone apps for this too!). You will feel uncomfortable at first repeating powerful affirming words to yourself. Be firm and press on.

It's a fact that your mind adheres to what your ears believe that your lips say. Words matter and you have to keep repeating affirmations until you Believe! Watch how you take charge of negative thoughts and words that challange you and your goals.

I really want you to have a better year than the one before and it starts with a huge gift to yourself that will last a lifetime. In case you need to read more here is another article by Cheryl Richardson and how she learned about Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall from Louise Hay herself. 

The most profound affirmations happen, when you are in front of a mirror, looking into your eyes and simply saying, (your name) I Love You...I really really Love you, keep repeating it...stand tall and feel the Magic happen.  Happy Happy New YOU.

Are you familiar with of Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall affirmation work?

Are you willing to give yourself the number one spot for 30 days and really make a difference in 2012? 

Please leave me a comment and let me know how this resonates with you, especially, after your first week of mirror work.
