11. Look at yourself in the Mirror everyday morning and night…and
reflect on your expressions

12. Reflect on this everyday
 I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is
authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my
mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams,
my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.
 Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be
friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I
do not know — but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look
for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me.
 However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in
time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be
unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I
discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be
productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
