Happy New Year/ Decade!My friend has challenged me to do something every day I've never done before or haven't done in a long time... in that spirit I pose the question to you - how long has it been since you looked in the mirror before you step out the door?
Seems innocuous enough... look in the mirror... yea, I do it every morning.
But I'm talking about really looking in the mirror at what you look like. Do you look like yourself? Do you look like the person you believe yourself to be or want to be? Do you reflect the fabulous person you are?
This is be my intent over the next couple of posts... to give suggestions as to how to get those images aligned, so that when you look in the mirror, you get it - the inner you matches the outer you - because as I'm sure you've heard, my motto is - You Only Have 7 Seconds to Make a First Impression and you want to make it a good one!
In the meantime - practice looking at yourself objectively in the mirror before EVERY time you finish dressing. Most importantly, look at yourself from the rear... hopefully most people you meet will see you coming... but some will see you going - make sure the back looks as good as the front. For some this will mean a full-length mirror - of which I'm a big proponent because then you get the whole picture - but it can be pulled off with a decent sized mirror, a hand mirror AND good lighting. Why do you think department stores have those 3-way mirrors bathed in florescent? So you can answer 'does this make my butt look big' question yourself.
Do yourself a real favor this year and look in the mirror.
That's a tough assignment. I tend to like to be behind the camera. I have noticed that there are fewer mirrors around my house than there were, say, 10 years ago.
