52 weeks of bodily bliss, week 27: Mirror Mirror Mommy + Daddy you are ...


A little late with a profound message for the week. Mirroring and awareness.

We are all a mirror images of our inner realities. If you think you can hide any belief about yourself by putting on make-up, the newest clothing designs, killer shoes and the $100 hair cut, you are far mistaken. The world sees beyond your mask, so take it off...will you.

I want to send an important message today for everyone. That is, to work on being aware of their inner realities, and how those reflect in their way of making simple, every day lifestyle and health choices.  It may not be much for you, however, if you have children at home, no matter how old, they will look [UP]to you for their FIRST answers of life, and who they think themselves into being - for life.  You create their reality through those you call your reality.

A little girl/boy who sees their mom rejecting desserts to maintain their perfect figure, or the one who finds her happy in the same place. Or the dad who finds his high on life, or power, in the chardonnay glass will lay down the foundation for their children to build theirs on. This is a guarantee.  

Be aware of your choices, and the very intimate and personal self-talk you engage in daily with yourself, knowing it is the mirror your children grow up seeing themselves reflecting in. They will become what they see in you, and they see and understand beyond any comprehension of the human realms, for they are so open and without filters. 

This week, work on your awareness of yourself and what you are saying to your environment through your behavior and image.

I highly recommend it.
