Ep 172: The Five-Way Mirror

from Bloom Your Mind · host Marie McDonald

What if the world around you — the people in your circle, the environments you spend time in, your subconscious mind, and the face in your bathroom mirror, - was constantly trying to show you something about yourself? In this episode, Marie explores five powerful ways that mirrors show up in our lives, and how we can use each one intentionally to elevate who we're becoming.The Five Mirrors1. New Environments as Mirrors Stepping into an unfamiliar room, city, or community shows you things about yourself that your regular environment can't — because your usual environment has you on autopilot. While our everyday life reflects the choices, ways of being and circumstances of the past, we can choose environments that mirror back possibility for the future instead.2.  Social Circles as a Mirror The people around you reflect back who you are — your beliefs, your habits, your ceiling. Choose to put yourself in circles that reflect back the possibility of the future you’re building, and reflect back your best qualities instead of your worst. Your circle is data.3. Being a Mirror for Other Women There's a shadow that runs through how women relate to each other in our broader culture: comparison, competition, subtle diminishment. Marie talks about what that shadow looks like, why it persists, and how each of us can consciously become the antidote — the good medicine that calls out something better. When you show up authentically — fierce, honest and playful — you give other women permission to do the same. We have more power to reflect possibility back to each other than we often realize.4. Your Subconscious Mind as a Mirror Your subconscious is constantly reflecting your deepest beliefs back to you through your results, your patterns, and what you keep creating in your life. Learn to prime your mind to mirror back the future, instead of the past. 5. The Literal Mirror Your actual reflection. How you relate to it, what you think when you see it, and how to use images of your younger self and the face you see when you look in the mirror to bring out the best in you. You'll Love This Episode If...You've been thinking about the quality of your relationships and whether they're calling you up or keeping you comfortableYou want to be a more powerful, positive presence in the lives of the women around youYou're curious about what your own patterns and results might be trying to tell youYou're ready to see yourself — all of yourself — more clearlyReady to Experience This for Yourself?The Moxie Mastermind is where women come together to do exactly what this episode is about — reflect the best in each other, tell the truth, and make their ideas real, one after another. If you're ready to be in a room (or a retreat) with women who will mirror back your highest self and hold you to it, apply to  the Moxie Mastermind and save your spot!How to connect with Marie:On the Web | The Local BloomInstagram: @the.bloom.coachAll Things Marie on LinkTreeJOIN THE BLOOM ROOM!We'll take all these ideas and apply them to our lives.
