Look in the mirror and say “I like you.”  This may be harder than you think.  (But if it’s easy for you, go you!)

Once you do that comfortably every day for a week, look yourself in the mirror and say “I love you.”

This is an exercise even I’ve found difficult. I can actually be silly when looking in the mirror, giving myself a wink or saying “Hey there, good lookin’,” but when it comes to a meaningful sentence, I turn bashful.

When I’m looking myself in the eye, I know I have to mean the words in order to say them. And these words, they’re worth meaning.
