I stood in front of the mirror and said
‘You’re a hot fox’ this morning.
Going to see if this morning mantra of kinds, helps one self confidence.
I of course, am a hot fox - I just need to convince myself and the tall, bearded gorgeous men I am too 
Tell me about your mantras or if you do anything to kick start your confidence
This actually could be way too early |

"Oh I never stand in front of the mirror. Ignorance is bliss.
If I say anything to myself, it's more along the lines of "I don't need a man"."
Haha I need to see what state I look like!!

"I hate looking in the mirror, seeing how old I'm getting. Although I don't look my age.
Crap ain’t it"

"Nothing. Just get up and get on with it. Don’t believe in all that claptrap. Never trusted mirrors since seeing Snow White as a kid.
(Mr)."
Thanks for the input
I’ll continue with my claptrap though |

I think it’s bullshit tbh , opera Winfrey stuff.
You either believe it or not , telling yourself won’t help if you don’t really believe it. Like do you have a mind and an ego in their and you think one can convince the other it’s wrong ? It’s that what’s happening in our heads….? I don’t think so
My daily mantra is ‘try to experience reality as accurately as I can’  |

You’re very welcome! Hope it works out x

Precisely! Can anyone honestly say their singing has improved due to a mirror?

If I look in the mirror long enough I begin to bring myself down. ‘Your a d’ck!’ - ‘f’kin idiot! Etc. That type of thing.
I do look oldest than I feel but younger than I should. But there’s been enough compliments my way to not worry about it.

"I immerse myself daily in my imperfectly perfect imperfections.
....and then I make a Cafetière.
Instant coffee here  "
Now a mirror that you could ask for coffee and then it would be ready in the kitchen when you go downstairs would be handy. |

I'm not hot or a fox but I do try and convince myself I'm better than I believe.
It helps.

I do the opposite, I've stopped looking in the mirror. The more I look, the more I self criticize. Just a quick check I look presentable then I walk away. |

Oh yeh. I read your other thread. I know some are complimentary compliments, they may feel they need to say it maybe. But, sometimes one or two feel genuine. Maybe they’re just good at lying. I don’t know. |

My eyesight is getting terrible so normal mirrors are not a problem as I look in soft focus. I’ve had to start using a magnifying mirror for makeup etc.
Not for the faint of heart are they! |

Morning op nice post .
Mindset positive mantra's are very important. How we think and feel counts towards any outcome.
Just like foods. What you eat is what you are.
Many mistake it i eat healthy ,i should live for ever, quality of life and time is important not the length of time.
" all in the mindset,use good words and thoughts! Towards yourself and others if one can,other wise stay quiet."
Peace.
Just shareing .. |

I use reaffirmation meditation
I am the best person right now that I want to be, my love starts and ends with me, as if my cup is not brimming with self love how can I possibly give any to anybody else
Learning when to balance out giving and taking is hard though and it's very easy to fall into a love deficit, that's when self love meditation is most important, realising it's time to curl up and renergize my soul and spirit for me xxx |

Spelling mistake?
Depreciation is where something loses value over time.
Deprication is where someone puts themself down.
OK it isn't an OED definition.
"You can try and risk failure or you can not try and ensure it"
"I am owed nothing, I owe nothing, I came into the world with nothing and will leave it the same. All the things are to be experienced and they will be gone one day"
"Other people's opinions are none of my business and my opinion is none of theirs"
They may seem dark yet as we come to understand them they work as a fantastic tool to recognise our own confidence. |

I love this OP! I definitely think it helps. Confidence is really sexy (more so than looks for me) so just by repeating your mantra, you are making yourself sexier!
And there is research that says that we can change what we think and feel by simply by telling ourselves what we want to think and feel.
I use my partner to help myself feel sexy. I strut around naked and tell him how sexy I am, maybe wiggling my boobs or bum in his face. He is very gratifying
I also have a practice of never arguing with people when they give me a compliment. Instead I simply say "thanks" or enthusiastically agree. Having a "no-arguing" rule stops me from being over-modest and coy, something that society kinda encourages us to do, but doesnt help our confidence.
Keep doing your mantras!
