Did you happen to read the other day about the woman who
decided not to look in the mirror for a month? She made the decision because
she had found herself looking in the mirror (or at her reflection in shop
windows) many times a day, despite the fact that doing this tended to depress
her.
Well, she said that one month on she felt much better. No
longer obsessed with her outward appearance, she had tuned into her inner self
with the result that she would awaken to face each new day feeling serene
instead of stressed.
I think that’s very interesting and that it says a lot about
the value we place on the physical, rather than the spiritual, while we inhabit
our bodies.
On my Facebook page yesterday I put a picture similar to this one to illustrate
feeling stifled by circumstances and unwilling or unable to grow. Here’s a
picture that, for me at least, illustrates the kind of freedom and serenity
that I believe is available to us all if we look within for solutions instead
of externally. Do you agree that looking within is the key to finding serenity?
