How to Like the Person in the Mirror
“When we like the person we see in the mirror … our world, relationships, and opportunities transform.”
-Rebecca Boskovic
In a world that barrages us with imagery that begs us to compare ourselves with what we are not, it is really easy to get side tracked from what we believe and value.
Just consider all the messages you come up against that tell you you’re not enough:
Buy this magic cream so that your wrinkles don’t show.
Try this machine to have the body of a 20 year old.
Drink this shake to lose 150 pounds, like this other person.
Different packaging … same message. What we hear in this advertising is that we are not enough as we are … and must change to be wanted.
However, do we stop and consider the source of this information?
Better yet, do we ever ask ourselves if what they are selling even match our values?
Most of the time, the answers are ‘no’ and ‘no’.
We forget to consider that the company selling the cream/machine/shake is probably motivated by profit and knows how to tap our fear … and might not be concerned with your actual success.
And we let our fear of being wrinkled, aged, and overweight come before our values.

This brings us to the important questions:
What do you value?
Do you value your relationships? Do you value kindness? Do you value your health?
What is important to YOU?
Is your family important to you? Is it important to you to produce quality work? How about feeling good inside your own skin?
Where do you derive your joy?
Do you love spending time with your pet? Getting immersed in a good book? How about going for a walk with your friends?
These questions are important,
because your decisions need to be filtered through them.
In fact, the more aligned our thoughts and actions are with our values, the more we’ll like the person in the mirror.

You see, to like ourselves, we need to be true to ourselves.
In fact, every time we get pulled off our center and try to be someone else, we lose something of ourselves.
When this happens, we
dim the light in our eyes
weaken the connection with those we love
disconnect from the only body we have
Fortunately, the opposite is also true, every time we take action to become more of who we truly are, we gain back what we once turned our back on.
When we take steps to be true to our values, our
eyes shine
relationships flourish
habits protect our body
And it is my purpose in life to help you do that.
Through Life Coaching, I help you remove the barriers to living according to your values…which then removes the barriers to achieving your goals.
