We are all mirror images of ourselves. But, it is also true that everything we perceive is not only a mirror image of our outer world but is a clear reflection of our inner workings. After years of spiritual coaching, this is what I have learned:
Our perception of the world outside and our relationships are most assuredly great indicators of how we are doing overall. Have you ever heard the expression “if you want to know how you’re doing, look at the relationships in your life”? That’s what I mean.
I’m suggesting that instead of looking in your bathroom mirror for clues to how you are doing, that you instead look inside.
We aren’t who we think we are.
Over the years, we’ve formed many subconscious habits that are probably even unknown to us. This is why it’s important to seek the input of those you trust - friends, mentors, spiritual coach. At least that is, if you are investing in your own growth. Input from others helps us see what we may not see because we’re simply too close to see it.
Self-improvement starts with breaking self-deception and learning to face the truth. You must honestly witness, then evaluate, how your mental and emotional and behavioral actions obscure the truth. Once you are able to reflect on yourself in this way and are able to see where there’s work to be done, only then can you begin to improve yourself.
This is doing the work reflected back to you by your inner mirror.
To find happiness, it’s first important that we are honest and open to seeing what needs to be changed inside ourselves. The process of self-improvement and growth is one of the most important aspects of your life. But to do it properly and with integrity, we need a clean mirror and honest feedback.
Don’t dirty up your mirror with denial.
If you’ve asked a mentor or spiritual coach for their honest assessment of where you are and your behavior, keep an open mind. Use this incredible opportunity from the feedback given to you to begin the process of transforming your weaknesses into strengths.
For open, honest, compassionate feedback and support, consider engaging with Maggie, shamanic energy healer and spiritual coach, for a complimentary spiritual life coaching session to see if you are a good fit to work together.
