Today is: 
Compliment Your Mirror Day
Sometimes we just don’t feel at our best, and in fact for some of us that ‘sometimes’ is every day. When you’ve got a big day coming or a challenge ahead, or are just feeling down in the dumps, it may be time to Compliment Your Mirror.
Day after day we hear things that can tear down our personality and self-confidence, Compliment Your Mirror Day is your reminder to show yourself a little love and remind yourself just how awesome you are. Then keep doing it day after day!
We’re not talking egocentric narcissism here. We’re talking self-affirmation, self-respect, and boosting your self-esteem.
We all need to learn to love ourselves a bit more, and this is what Compliment Your Mirror Day is all about. We spend so much time sharing love with other people and complimenting them, but how much time do we spend making ourselves feel good? This is what Compliment Your Mirror Day is all about. It is about telling yourself how incredible and amazing you are, because YOU ARE!
We all have our down days, and we all have things we don’t like about ourselves. That’s normal. But instead of focusing on these things, focus on the great things about yourself and what makes you amazing, because there are so many things.
Depression and broken self-esteem are some of the most dangerous things to leave untreated and unacknowledged. Every year there are people who succumb to these horrible events, and while complimenting yourself in the mirror isn’t a panacea for these dangerous things, it can at least begin the process of building your feeling of self-worth through self-talk.
It’s important to know that Compliment Your Mirror Day doesn’t just have to do with your physical, outer beauty, such a thing is ephemeral and certainly won’t last into your old age. But the person you are and how you approach the world certainly will, in fact it’s the only thing you’ll keep until your last days. So Compliment Your Mirror Day means you need to recognize all of your inner strengths and inner beauties.
Mirrors have been around for a long time, time out of mind in fact, and the first ones were made of Obsidian, if you don’t count reflecting bowls as mirrors. They’ve always been recognized as having magical properties, and one of those magical properties involved making statements of intent into them and knowing they’d come true.
Compliment Your Mirror Day is your day to cast a spell over yourself by telling yourself how awesome you are.
It’s so easy to overlook one’s magnificence between schedules, work, and life responsibilities. So take a few minutes today, and every day for that matter, to celebrate your beauty with these simple tips.
- Compliment yourself each time to walk past a mirror. What do you love about your physical self?
- Write an inspiring quote on your mirror in washable window marker.
- Wear your favorite colour and remind yourself how flattering the hue is on you.
- Spend the day thinking positive thoughts about yourself, and continue this practice on a daily basis. You can start by thinking about your character traits.
- Pamper yourself.
- Wear something you typically reserve for special occasions - even if you’re not leaving the house. Be sure to smile at your reflection!
Everybody has their strengths and today is your opportunity to take some time to learn what they are, and then reaffirm them by pronouncing them clearly into the mirror. Smile, be proud and confident, and make sure to say it like you mean it on Compliment Your Mirror Day.
