Diva Brigid here. I came across the title of article just now Talk to yourself as you would talk to someone you love. Tantalizingly the page was unavailable but really I dont need to read it. I know the sense in the message but it got me thinking about all the things I think and say in my head every day. When I look at a friend I look at all the bits I admire and love and I gloss over any imperfections. But when I look in the mirror I head straight for the bits I hate and repeat the negative comments in my head throughout the day! There is a fashion stylist in the UK called Gok Wan who has a TV show called How to look good naked. He helps women feel good about their bodies. One of the things he asks them is what part of their bodies they like. Most struggle to think of anything. He then posts a billboard photo of them in their undies in a prominent place in town and asks passing men and women to comment. The subject is amazed at how positive the comments are. I am not posting photos of myself in my underwear anywhere but the truth is we often tear ourselves apart focussing on the imperfections whilst ignoring the great! I believe growing confidence and a smile is already transforming my life so I am going to build my confidence further by talking to myself as I would to someone I love... and then maybe I will love myself. Im going to start by writing out the message and posting it over my mirror as a daily reminder.
