I’ve heard women talk to each other about how excited they’ll be or how happy they’ll be when they lose 10lbs, get their hair highlighted or plump their lips a little. There is this idea that if we change our nose, lips, waistline, hips or hair color we’ll be happier. Enjoy every small win and lift our ambitions for what our best is, not what someone else’s best looks like.ģ. Trying to obtain the look of someone else is a losing battle! We should be trying to be the best version of ourselves and love ourselves enough to set that intention. What’s perfect about the body is that it comes in so many shapes and sizes. We have this perception that there is this ideal woman, body, shape, or size. It’s human nature. Self-acceptance doesn’t come from reaching goals, it comes from changing our mindset from “I’m not good enough” to “I love myself” as we take the journey towards those goals. This isn’t true because no matter how much weight you lose, you’ll always want to improve something else. Most women think they have to lose weight before they can create a healthy and more loving conversation about themselves in their minds. I want to bust a few myths about how to feel happier and more in love with yourself so that you don’t become a sucker just like the evil queen. If she had just changed the conversation in her mind, those thoughts being reflected from her magic mirror would have said, “you are the fairest of them all”.ĭon’t Be a Sucker Like In The Storybook s she’d have been so much happier, more content, less stressed and less angry. We have complete control over what it says because it’s really just our thoughts reflecting back at us. The magic mirror is this image and perception we have of ourselves. It’s time t o change the conversation with our mirror. To my dismay, I’ve come to find out that our world is full of magic mirrors making women feel bad about themselves, unhappy with what they see, and/or unsatisfied with who they are. I never really thought about this fairytale story in a realistic sense until I started asking more women what they think of themselves when they look in the mirror. She hates Sleeping Beauty so much because the mirror keeps telling her that she is not the fairest of them all. Sleeping Beauty and the magic mirror that drives the wicked queen mad.
