How to do it:

  1. Stand or sit in front of mirror, preferably naked. If the thought of being naked in front of your mirror is too uncomfortable, it’s ok, start in clothes.

  2. Look into your own eyes and tell yourself, "I see you. You're beautiful. I love you."

  3. You can talk to yourself about how proud you are of a certain accomplishment or how you handled a situation that week. Whatever gets you connected to the reality of you—a pure, graceful, courageous being.

  4. If you're feeling like you need an extra boost of energy, try dancing in front of the mirror, again naked if you’re willing to.

    Put on a song or a mantra that makes you feel alive and beautiful. Be sure to look into your eyes and feel your soul. Sing. Scream. Shake. Try to feel into all parts of your body.

  5. Practice for at least 10 minutes.

    For ultimate cumulative benefit, do this practice every day for 30+ days.


Why do it:

Even if it is absolutely terrifying at first, it's a total confidence booster. As you begin to finally love and accept yourself, you'll notice your body finally healing in ways you may never have experienced before.

You may begin to feel more radiant and attractive. Your skin may clear up. You may begin to magnetize a loving, healthy relationship. You'll absolutely cultivate a loving, healthy relationship with yourself. You may laugh. You may cry.

Each day may bring up a new feeling. A feeling of appreciation, of understanding, of compassion, of radically accepting yourself exactly where you are right now.
