How to Find the Answers You Need to Change Your Life in Mirrors

INTENSE LITTLE EXPERIENCE #7:

How to Find the Answers You Need to
Change Your Life in Mirrors

Ah, the power of mirrors.

In the field of social psychology,
there is a relatively well-known study
that was published in the Journal of
Personality and Social Psychology in
which, on Halloween, researchers posing
as homeowners greeted trick-or-treating
children at one of eighteen different
houses.

At one of the houses, when trick-or
treaters rang the doorbell, one of the
researchers pointed to a large bowl of
candy sitting on a table nearby.

She told the children that it was self
service, but they could only take ONE
piece of candy. She also told them she
had work to do and quickly exited the
room.

Another researcher was watching what
happened behind a peephole.

A full 33.7% of the children took more
candy than they should have.

Then, the researchers set up a mirror
right in front of the bowl of candy,
so the trick-or-treaters had to see
themselves in it as they approached
the bowl.

The rate of those taking more than
one piece of candy when the mirror
was there? Just 8.9%!

Others studies since then have
confirmed that adults, too, have
a much more difficult time being
dishonest when they are confronted
with themselves in a mirror....
even if no one else is around.

(These studies always seem to confirm
ages-old expressions, in this case,
'How can you look yourself in the
mirror?' when someone has done
something dishonest.)

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOU?
Everything.

You may be the most honest person
in the world with others, but we all
tend to have the hardest time admitting
the most difficult truths to ourselves.

We're of course not setting out to
sabotage ourselves. Most of the time
we are not even aware that we are
lying to ourselves, or denying the
truth, until things really come to
a head (i.e., until things get messy,
frustrating, really tense, etc.)

And of course we therefore DO sabotage
ourselves by never admitting – never
facing – the truth.

Think about it: how many times in
your life have you been faced with
'big' questions that, later on, you
realize deep down you already knew
he answer to? But the answer was
difficult, the truth was hard, and
you just could not, or did not want
to, face it?

'Should I leave him?'

'Should I stay in this job?'

'Am I addicted?'

'Am I hurting myself here?'

Think about this, too: what 'big'
questions regarding your health,
relationships, finances, career,
or other direction-your-life-takes
areas are you currently faced with?

LITTLE BUT QUITE BIG

So this will be one of the littlest
of the 18 Intense 'Little' Experiences
but also one of the most revealing
and transformative. Perhaps not right
now if you are not currently faced
with some important question, but
certainly down the line when you are
– and I don't need to tell you that
no matter who you are, you will be at
multiple points in your life.

Quite simply, instead of trying to
ponder the big question while driving
in your car, or sitting at your desk
or table, go somewhere alone that has
a mirror.

Obviously a washroom or a bedroom,
where you can close the door to ensure
your solitude, is a smart choice.

It is even better if you are so alone
that you can talk to yourself aloud:
hearing your own voice ask and answer
questions prompts even greater depth
and honesty.

And by now you have likely guessed it:
your question aloud.

'Should I leave her?

'Am I really ready to move?'

'Do I have a drinking problem?'

'What am I really so afraid of?'

Ask aloud, answer aloud, and try not
to take your eyes off your own eyes
as you answer and discuss it with
yourself in the mirror. Even if you
have to squint through your own tears.

Discuss the question, the issue, aloud
with yourself in the mirror in this
manner, until you have said all that
can be said. Until all the insight and
truth that was pent up deep inside you
has risen forth from your lips and into
your own ears and eyes.

AND NOW, THE TRUTH

Emotional as the answer may be, it
is mighty hard not to hear the truth
come forth from where it already is
inside you by addressing yourself in
the mirror in this manner.

It is even more difficult to hide from
or deny it when you hear it pour forth
aloud from your own mouth.

The first and usually most difficult
step when embarking on a new leg of
your journey through life is deciding
which is the right direction to go.

This intense little experience will,
in a powerful way, help guide you in
that right direction.

And though it can be perceived as
'sales-y' if your mind lets it, I
mean it deeply and honestly when I
say that – if you are about to embark
on a potentially difficult new leg
of a journey in life, or if you are
already somewhere on one – nothing
isas powerful as The Nine Intense
Experiences audio program to help
you thrive there.

If this little mirror experience helps
you in some small (or not-so-small)
way, I just ask that you imagine how
extensively the full audio program can
help you...

And then, with the 100% satisfaction
guarantee in mind in case your mind is
still hesitant, I urge you to try it
risk-free today...

Being more aware of what one is doing or examining ones behavior more deeply can served a positive purpose. One can train oneself to focus more on ones behavior and one can learn to behave with a high level of consciousness and learn to sense what consequences or results are likely to happen from such behavior. If one has trained oneself to be really strong and sensitive spiritually, one will always try to behave in a way that will reflect ones high moral standards. If one has trained one intuition well, one will automatically sense when it is important to be careful what one does. It is not easy to act on the highest level when it comes to ones conduct and to bring about the best results from ones actions. One must learn how to act on a higher moral level and train oneself so as to have the strength to apply what one learns.
