Say your name. 2. Appreciate yourself for: Achievements, successes, risks taken Disciplines kept Temptations overcome 3. Say "I love you" to yourself. 4. Take it in (receive it), breathe. The Mirror Exercise The mirror exercise is one of the most simple yet powerful self-esteem and self confidence building exercises in the world. Its purpose is to replace the normal negative self-talk that dominates our thoughts with positive self-affirming self-talk. It is an exercise that should be performed every night for 40 days. Every night before going to bed, stand in front of a mirror and appreciate yourself for all that you accomplished during the day. Start with a few seconds of looking into the eyes of the person in the mirror—your mirror image of your self looking back at you. Then start by saying your name, followed by appreciating yourself (out loud) for the following things: 1. Any achievements (business, financial, educational, personal, emotional) 2. Any personal disciplines you kept (exercise, meditation, prayer, dietary) 3. Any temptations that you did not give in to (dessert, lying, drinking too much, etc.) Maintain eye contact with yourself throughout the exercise. When you are complete, end by continuing to look deep into your own eyes and say, "I love you." Then stand there for another few seconds to really feel the impact of the experience as if you were the one in the mirror who had just listened to all of this appreciation. The trick during this last part is to not just turn away from the mirror feeling embarrassed or thinking of your self or the exercise as stupid. Example: Here is an example of what it might sound like: "Jack, I want to appreciate you for the following things today. First I want to appreciate you for going to bed on time last night without staying up too late watching TV so you got up bright and early this morning and you had a really good conversation with Inga. And then you meditated for 20 minutes before you took a shower. You helped with getting the kids' lunches together and you ate a healthy low fat, low carbohydrate breakfast. You got to work on time and led a very good staff meeting with your support team. You did a great job of helping everyone listen to everybody's feelings and ideas. And you were great at drawing out the quiet ones. Let's see... oh, and then you ate a really healthy lunch - soup and salad - and you didn't have the dessert that was offered. And you drank the 10 glasses of water that you committed to drinking every day. Working material for Agna Leadership Academy Page 8 The Pyramid of Mastery (By Anthony Robbins) 7 Areas of constant growth for an extraordinary life An extraordinary life comes from an unrelenting commitment to focus on constant improvement in the seven areas of life: While all seven areas of life are important, there is a hierarchy that creates peak performance and fulfillment. For example, if you don't master your body - your capacity to maximize your health, energy and vitalityall the money, career success, or contribution in the world will be worthless. You can't experience an extraordinary quality of life without the vehicle that's going to help you create it. Or, if you spend your time trying to solve all your relationship problems, but you haven't even mastered your emotions, it's a recipe for disaster. Without mastering meaning and emotion, you will always be at the mercy of life's challenges. Having a firm grasp of your emotions frees you to be proactive rather than reactive to changes you face. Similarly, you must determine how you focus and spend your time in order to create a successful career. Once you've discovered how to add value in your work/career/mission, you can create a plan to grow your wealth. Spiritual growth and your capacity to celebrate and contribute is at the top because you can't enjoy the fruits of your labor until you've sowed the right seeds.
