Self Image

When was the last time you looked at another person and thought you liked their hair, their eyes, and/or body shape? I would bet it hasn't been that long. We do it almost every day.

When was the last time you looked in the mirror and thought I DON'T like my hair, eyes, and/or body type? Was it this morning? Most people do this everyday as well! Why do we see the positive features in others and pick out the negative in ourselves? It is the endless cycle of never being content with who we are. Now, you would think I was going to tell you to go speak positive over yourself. I want to take this in an entirely different direction.

I want you to take a moment and tell those people you see every day, what you admire about them. Be honest and sincere. Don't go around throwing out compliments you don't mean. Next time you are in the women's bathroom and you catch someone's eye in the mirror, tell them what you like about them. Compliment their clothing, glasses, hair, makeup. It's harder for men to do this but it is recommended as well. "Hey, nice coat." or "What cologne are you wearing?"

Why do I recommend complimenting others and just not focus on being positive with yourself? Because I can guarantee, you are the other person we have all been staring at, you just don't know it.

And why do I know this? Simple, we are not all looking at ONE person. We are looking at each other.
