The 5-Minute Mirror Practice
Find a quiet moment and a mirror — the bathroom, the car, anywhere you can be alone with yourself for five minutes. Read through the steps below, then simply begin.
-
Settle in
Stand or sit in front of the mirror. Take three slow breaths, letting your shoulders drop a little more with each one.
-
Meet your own eyes
Look directly into your eyes in the reflection. It can feel strange at first — that's normal. Just stay here for a few breaths.
-
Notice, without fixing
Notice what's present — tiredness, tension, softness, whatever is true right now — without trying to change it. You're just here to witness yourself.
-
Speak to yourself with kindness
Out loud or silently, offer yourself a few kind, true words — the way you'd speak to someone you love. A few starting points are below if you'd like them.
-
Close gently
Take one more slow breath. Notice anything that feels different, even slightly. Carry that with you into the next part of your day.
If you'd like a few words to start with
"I am doing the best I can with what I know today."
"I deserve the same kindness I give to others."
"I choose to see myself with compassion."
This is just a first taste of the kind of work we go deeper into together. If it resonated, we'd love to have you join us in person.
