Confrontation in the Mirror

When I come face to face with myself in the mirror, I feel inadequate and unlovable.

Today, while at work, I began to feel an intensity of emotions all at once.

I needed to somehow escape my inner critic, so I made a quick beeline for the washroom where I found myself being confronted by my own reflection.

I didn’t run, though.

I stood there for a moment, desperately trying to ground myself.

I looked into my own eyes with the utmost of compassion and kindness, and instead of telling myself that I am inadequate and unlovable, I found the courage to softly mouth the words, I am worthy, and I am enough to the image staring back at me in the mirror.
