Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

There is an old saying that points out “We dislike most in others, what we dislike most in ourselves.”

With that in mind, to remove excess negativity, resentment, judgment, or tension in a relationship, and, yes, WORK STRESS, try using the Mirror Exercise.





The next time you feel angry, frustrated, or judgmental of another, flip it. In other words, ask yourself where you behave like the other person (or worry that you may lapse into that behavior and so spend lots of energy trying hard to not be “that way”). Instead of looking at them and labeling, look at yourself and make a mental shift.

This person of irritation is simply a mirror for you to look at aspects of yourself that you can't bear to acknowledge (yet). Read on for more information on how to do this process, and resources for Shadow Work.
