How to find yourself

Finding yourself can be hard if you don't know were to look.By using a mirror and standing inches from your own reflection,you will begin to become introduced to the real you,maybe for the first time in your life?I find that sitting in front of your mirror with the lonely glow of candle-light or dimmed lights,is more personal.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• chair,candles,mirror,pillow,water,juice,tea or wine.

1. Hang your mirror at eye level from the seated position in the chair that you feel most comfortable in. Use a pillow if so needed. Place lit candles to each side of the mirror to reflect light off your face and eyes. Pour yourself a drink(water,juice,tea,wine...?)get comfy.
2. Begin to gaze into your own eyes.relax..breath...exhale.Slowly position yourself to as close to the mirror as possible (try not to actually touch your nose )The whole time try not to lose eye contact(blinking is fine)By now you have most likely already asked yourself,"what am I doing"?Or "so, who am I"? Good!
3. Continue to discover yourself. Answer questions that only you truly know! Stare DEEPLY into your eyes, search for yourself. Truly make an effort to find your SOUL.Cry,smile,laugh,but always..always be positive.Remember this is a way to find yourself and to take everything that you have lived and learned and apply it in a positive manner.

Tips & Warnings

• Be positive! If being positive is not natural to you, don't get upset about it(just don't break your mirror)relax..breath..exhale..Breath some more and you may just find out what it is that hinders your happiness? Sometimes people find out things that go back to thier childhood. Maybe they realize thru finding themselves that counselling may help the process further.
• If you find that your angry at yourself and unable to look directly into your own eyes, then I would search the Ehow community's for one of the many Therapist's that can help you find out more about yourself. Also remember not to leave the candles unattended or burning through out the night!!!
