Hello, friends! Today's prompt is a song by one of my favorite artists, Malinda, called "Music Box."
There's one line that's always stood out to me in this song:
"Whose face is in the mirror today? Is it me, or am I in the way?"
I get in my own way a lot. I look at myself in the mirror and think only about what I perceive to be wrong. That's not healthy, or helpful, or positive. It's an odd behavior if you think about it, because if I was looking at anyone else's face, I would be only focusing on what was right and beautiful and lovely. I try to be very affirming of my friends and family. I build them up as much as I can. So why do I use words with myself that I would never use with anyone else?
That begs the question, how can I get out of my own way?
There's no easy answer to that question, but I do see one starting point: using positive words.
