Tea Routine: Mirror gazing
When was the last time you truly looked at yourself in the mirror? Many of us glance at our reflection only to check appearances or criticise ourselves, missing an opportunity for self-connection.
Mirror gazing is a simple yet transformative practice. Instead of using the mirror for quick checks, spend a few minutes each day looking into your own eyes with kindness. The first time I tried this, it felt a little awkward, but as I continued, it became a powerful moment of self-reflection. I found that just breathing deeply and being present with myself helped calm my mind and foster a sense of peace.
Regular mirror gazing can break the cycle of negative self-talk, boost self-esteem, and reduce anxiety. By taking the time to truly see yourself, you develop a deeper connection with who you are and foster self-compassion. Over time, this practice helps you look beyond your external appearance, allowing you to acknowledge your inner strength, beauty, and potential.
Next time you pause for tea, take a few minutes to gaze into the mirror with kindness. Notice how it makes you feel. How could this simple practice enhance your relationship with yourself? Share your experience and let me know how mirror gazing impacts your wellbeing!

Give yourself a high five…
Learn from Mel Robbins and discover how to turn your day around by giving yourself a high five whenever you look at yourself in a mirror. I started this practice years ago and I now do it automatically whenever I look in the mirror. I’ve started being much kinder to myself and much more aware that I’m doing the best I can in that moment. Try it for yourself.
