Firstly, I would like to share with you what mirror work is. Mirror work is a coaching technique used to help my coaching as it gives me a better understanding of other people’s emotions and thoughts. That’s right, I learn about you when I work with you. This idea is based on learning through observation – how we interact with others. By reflecting back on what was said, we can provide a clearer picture of their internal experience.
Creating Awareness and Empathy
When done properly, mirror work helps to create an awareness and appreciation of feelings and needs. The goal of mirror work is to help individuals become aware of the impact their thoughts and behaviours have on their lives and make conscious choices about how they want to move forward. It also helps people develop empathy for themselves as well as for others.
A personal life coach can facilitate this journey by offering insights and techniques to deepen your understanding and empathy.
Seeing Beyond Physical Characteristics
In the spirit of mirror work, when we look in the mirror – a physical one – we often see the physical characteristics. For example, I am a Black woman with a passion for helping others. But I don’t see this… well, I don’t focus on this completely. I see who I am. Some people call it their ‘soul’ – you can call it what you like. Your physical characteristics aren’t the be all and end all… it’s your character, mission, and values. Engaging with a personal life coach can help you see beyond these characteristics and connect with your deeper self.
Connecting Through ‘Think Differently’
Let’s connect with ‘Think Differently,’ a special portal to my coaching that’s a protected space for you. In this way, I can give undivided attention to your goals. In preparation for our meeting, please give some thought to why you would like to work with a Coach and what you are looking for.
Conclusion
Mirror work is a powerful technique that goes beyond physical appearances, helping individuals understand their inner selves and the impact of their actions. It fosters empathy and conscious decision-making, paving the way for personal growth.
