Well, this blog might not be for the younger readers but since I know for a fact that my only reader is my aunt, I will not hesitate to include my thoughts and feelings at the present moment.
I have been recently intrigued by the concept of saying encouraging things to yourself in the mirror. A kind of self-self-assurance. They call it empowered living or I guess some people do, ok i know for a fact that one person does. Either way, I have been perusing the internet for what type of compliments one should give themselves, I found various phrases from "you go girl!" (which I won't even waste time explaining how much I hate/love that inspiration rally-ER of an expression) to "you are powerful", "you are strong".
I like the idea but I think personally we are looking at the wrong thing. I would like to put a twist on it. Instead of looking at your face I think you should look at your vagina. I found this article with a series of mirror gazing exercises, I suggest inserting vagina for "reflection", "eyes", "your face" etc.

I really think it will do wonders for our generation and the sales of crotchless underwear! I am actually considering patenting and publishing this ground breaking idea. And women if you think men haven't been baby-talking their penises since the dawn of time then you are way behind on the curve.
Another idea I have been playing with might seem stupid but if you think about it, they (as in super intelligent doctors) always say the little things make big differences in your life, especially concerning confidence and self-image. This thought came to me as I watched the "Other Boleyn Girl", Ok I am lying, I did see that movie but it only hit me now that it could be named the inspiration for what I like to call "crowning your clitoris". Feeling a little down? Not feeling your worth? Go out to party city, buy one of those fake (real, if you can afford it and I am sure it would work better) king crowns and make your significant other wear it during your intimate hours and tadahhhh you are having sex with a king, which, yes I know what you are thinking, makes you a queen.
While at first I really liked this idea, my mind is always going in circles and now I resent the fact that worth should be given by who you share a bed with, my whole problem with that movie! So better yet, you wear the crown! A bear skin rug wouldn't hurt either. Ok well that's all for now!

personally i find the positive affirmations kind of half measures after all why wouldn t you feel empowered by those things that confuse you tha t shake you up that torment you- are those not the things that make you look deeper and reach deeper into yourself. you already possess a compassion for others that is most tender and insightful which is not to say that you can be unforgiving at times ... but of course that demands further circumspection and that is never wasteful.. i find the staring at your vagina idea intriguing but what can we do when most of the vagina staring is done by men and the majority of girls/women find their genitalia at the very least troubling oh and i love you so
