The mindful mirror-gazing practice

Position a mirror in a well-lit space so that you can see into your eyes. Sit on a meditation cushion or chair with feet on the ground. Sit with yourself for 10 minutes.
Tune in to your breathing while breathing regularly.
Gaze into your eyes. Is your gaze harsh or soft? If hard, try to soften your gaze.
Observe your inner critic, then see the person under that critic. That's who you really are.
Notice any sensations or emotions that arise and allow them to be there without judgment or interpretation.

You may be surprised how your view of yourself can change.
