Many of us struggle with self-esteem and self-awareness, and it can hold us back from achieving our goals and living our best lives.
But what if there was a simple way to boost your self-esteem, build self-awareness, and cultivate a positive mindset? Enter Mel Robbins' high-five challenge.
Mel Robbins, a renowned motivational speaker and author, suggests that high-fiving yourself in the mirror every day can have a profound impact on your self-awareness, self-esteem, and overall well-being. And it's not just about feeling silly or awkward – it's about building a positive relationship with yourself.
Here are just a few reasons why high-fiving yourself in the mirror every day can be a game-changer:
Builds self-awareness: When you high-five yourself in the mirror, you're forced to look at yourself directly. This can help you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and actions, and identify areas where you need to work on building self-esteem.
Boosts self-esteem: High-fiving yourself in the mirror is a physical act of celebration and affirmation. It sends a message to your brain that you're worthy of recognition and praise, which can help build self-esteem and confidence.
Cultivates positivity: When you high-five yourself in the mirror, you're creating a positive association with yourself. This can help shift your mindset and build a more positive relationship with yourself.
Reduces self-criticism: High-fiving yourself in the mirror can help you focus on your strengths and accomplishments, rather than your weaknesses and failures. This can help reduce self-criticism and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Increases self-love: When you high-five yourself in the mirror, you're showing yourself love and appreciation. This can help increase self-love and self-acceptance, which is essential for building self-esteem and confidence.
I've been doing this simple practice along with many others (a full blog on my morning routine will be posted shorty) for almost a year now and it has been a game changer in the way I treat and think about myself, as well as how I think about and treat others. I even created a poster for my bathroom that says, "Don't Leave This Room Until You've ahogh-Fived Yourself in The Mirror." It's a powerful reminder that I am worthy and valued and I deserve to be celebrated.
High-fiving yourself in the mirror every day may seem like a simple act, but it can have a profound impact on your self-awareness, self-esteem, and overall well-being. By building self-awareness, boosting self-esteem, cultivating positivity, reducing self-criticism, and increasing self-love, you can develop a more positive and compassionate relationship with yourself. So, go ahead and give yourself a high-five – you deserve it! I'm always here to remind you of how deserving you are! 😍
