Mirror .. mirror .. on the wall
Who’s the fairest of them all ...
Maybe this
Disney’s Snow White originated quote is the most famous quote about mirror that
we know .. almost all people in the world, children, adults, man, woman,
even aliens (maybe) knows about this
quote.
Told in the Snow White story that an evil
queen who always used a magic mirror to ensure that there’s no one in this
world is more beautiful than she is. The mirror became a very important tool
for the evil queen to fulfill her greed and ego
In
the daily lives, mirror is an object that we use every day, every hour, maybe
every minute (for an exquisite person) .. in the morning, afternoon, evening,
middle of the night we always look for this thing .. In a car it becomes our
important reminder and alarm, in our bathroom it helps us to shave, in our
bedroom it assists us to mix and match the clothes .. simply, mirror is
important for us ...
But
....
Have
you ever think that mirror is also an object that can helps us to develop our
personality? Have you ever think that from a mirror we can learn much about ourselves?
Have you ever think that from a mirror we actually can see the real us?
About
15 years ago, I discovered this session of therapy (well at least this is the
therapy that works for me ..). I called it “Mirror Therapy” or “Terapi Cermin”.
It works like this :
[ Get a mirror, best if you have medium size mirror that can cover all
of your face in reflection;
[ Set your distance to the mirror, not too close and not too far. This
will give you the best view to see your face;
[ Start looking very closely .. look at your face in the mirror not
only with your eyes, but with your heart
[ Ask these question while you keep looking at your reflection :
♥
Who are you looking at in the
mirror? Is that really you? Is that the person that you think you know? Is that
a same person with a person you know yesterday?
♥
Look closely to the deep of
your eyes .. many people sometimes can’t stand to look at their own eyes .. at
the same time you look in to the deep of your eyes, try to memorize what
happened in the past 24 hours (for example) .. you know, people say that “Faces
can be deceiving, but your eyes can not tell a lie” .. so that’s why, If you
want to know about yourself, try to find it in your eyes
♥
Next, step back about 1 foot,
and look again closely to your face reflection in the mirror .. start from your
forehead, your eyebrows, your eyes, nose, lips, mouth, chick, chin .. all of
them .. see them closely to figure out how far you know yourself through your
face
♥
Start talking .. in many
different tones .. for example, said something with a high tone, and see your
face, and you can figure what you look like when you’re angry .. do another tone,
slow, fast, mild, strong .. so you finally can figure what kind of person you
will be in front of others. Improve it when you find your weakness in talking
or speaking
[ Do, this every day, or 3 times a week .. I’m still doing it until
now and it helps me to control my emotion, to put my “poker face” in time when I
need it, to make me keep on evaluate myself through times
The purpose of this thing so called therapy are to
maintain your awareness, to increase your self confidence and set your standard
of self-control, while to keep improve your speaking skill .. But the most
important purpose is, to make you a better and more truthful person
