Fall in Love with the Person You See in the Mirror Every Day

By Lady Flava | Simply Flava Reflections

One thing I’ve been thinking about is how much time we spend wondering what other people think of us. We might not always admit it, but deep down, most of us do care. Life is full of interactions with others — and truthfully, we all want to get along. We all love a kind word or a compliment. Those small connections help shape our confidence and self-esteem.

But here’s something to think about: when was the last time you really looked at yourself in the mirror?

When was the last time you said, “Good morning” to the person staring back at you — wished them a good day, or said out loud, “I love you. You’re pretty awesome.”

If you like the way you fixed your hair, how your makeup turned out, or how that outfit looks on you, give yourself a compliment. You deserve it.

The older I get, the more I understand that the most important relationship I’ll ever have is with myself. That realization — this earned wisdom — is something I wish I had learned when I was younger.

The more we truly understand that we matter to ourselves, the better we take care of every part of who we are: Mind, Body, and Spirit.

How we feel about ourselves sets the tone for how we move through the world — how we interact, how we love, and how we show up each day.

So take a long, loving look at the person in your mirror. Smile at them. Speak kindly to them.

Because that person — you — is the most important one to love every single day. 🌻
