Really? You’re expected to look into a mirror and say “hello
beautiful”?
A lot of people find that just looking into a mirror at themselves at all is scary enough without attempting to say something positive in the process. Yet, as uncomfortable as it may be to face yourself in the mirror and say nice things about yourself, it is also the most effective way of showing you where you have resistance.
Louise Hay, the very successful American motivational author and founder of Hay House, is a huge advocate of mirror work. She was known to carry a small mirror with her everywhere she went and would talk to herself while looking into it. She would say things to herself similar to what a parent would say to a child if they wanted to show love, encouragement and praise and she would teach people to do it as a highly effective tool to use when wanting to develop self-confidence, self-esteem and to bring more happiness into their lives.
So go on, give it a try and next time you see your reflection anywhere glance back at yourself and say “Hello Beautiful”, because you are.

The trick is to just keep saying positive affirmations to
yourself while looking in the mirror. No matter how awkward it may feel, if you
keep doing it you will become more aware of any thoughts that you need to change
that don’t serve you. The more you keep at it the less self-critical you become
and the more approving you become of yourself. When you think more positively
about yourself, you want to take better care of yourself and in so doing, you
feel good and become happier.
It costs nothing to try and maybe, rather than feeling foolish
as you talk to yourself out loud in the mirror, say something that makes you
smile, choose a few positive statements and repeat them each time you see
yourself. When you start your day look at yourself and say something nice. I
met someone who would start their day smiling at themselves saying “hello
cutie, what magic are you going to bring to the world today” and always stepped
out into the world with an uplifted frame of mind.So go on, give it a try and next time you see your reflection anywhere glance back at yourself and say “Hello Beautiful”, because you are.
