Yesterday I stood in front of my mirror NAKED for 10 minutes. It wasn’t easy. In fact in was near suffering. But I pulled through and triumphed. I can actually live to tell about my experience. For my loyal readers, (Rrezarta) you might wonder why this topic is a recurring one. The first reason: this is my blog and it happens to be a recurring theme in my own life. Secondly: I believe too many of us girls struggle more than we let on and no one seems to care.
Is any one wondering why I’m naked in front of my mirror? Its a healing technique I do when my body starts to get me down. A good friend taught it to me and she was brilliant because it really works. There was a time that I could not have done this. Back when the mirror was not my friend and it lied to me. I’m now able to stand in front of a mirror sans clothes. For ten minutes. An eternity. You are meant to record all the positive things you see. For anyone about to argue and say they wouldn’t be able to see anything positive that is the whole point of the exercise. Find the positives. The first time I did this the only thing on my list was my teeth. Gradually the list began to grow. I am a “former” body hater but there are days that I seem to relapse and it makes me wonder if I will ever be truly free. I try to remember these words, “you are a slave to whatever controls you" I want to live a life of freedom. That is my right and that is my choice. Last thought: if anyone decides to try the whole mirror/naked thing learn from my mistakes and…LOCK THE DOOR.
