I have a friend who jokes that when she catches sight of her rear-end in the bathroom mirror that she reminds herself that she has great hair.
While this got a laugh during a group lunch, she’s actually onto something.
When you consider the foundation principle that “Energy Attracts Like Energy,” also known as the Law of Attraction, it becomes clear that focusing on the problem just creates more of the problem.
A subtle mental shift towards something you appreciate is a powerful way to shift the negative catabolic energy generated by looking in the mirror and feeling miserable about what you see.
You will know that you’ve successfully made the shift to a more positive anabolic place when you experience a feeling of genuine appreciation for another part of your body.
A woman I worked with used this technique during her journey to lose 40 pounds. Whenever she caught sight of her stomach, which she judged fat and unattractive, she would quickly shift her focus to appreciating her lean and muscular legs.
I used a similar technique on my own weight-loss journey. Whenever I was conscious of my body, I would turn the song “I Feel Pretty” from the Broadway play, West Side Story, into “I Feel Skinny,” and would play it loudly in my head, letting myself truly feel it.
When you look in the mirror, do you love or hate what you see? What can you do to focus more on what you appreciate?
Imagine the impact that positive anabolic energy is having on your body and overall wellness.
Together we can do it!

Today I am feeling very fat and self-conscious of my stomach. I walked into the work bathroom which has a full length mirror and wanted to run and hide. Then while I was washing my hands I noticed, and appreciated, how long my hair is getting. I definitely need to make a more conscious effort to focus on the positives. Thank you for another inspiring post!
Congratulations on shifting your focus to something you do appreciate! Way to go! Just keep consciously doing that. Thanks for reading and commenting! Happy New Year!
I really like my eyebrows and skin right now. Liking my skin is actually a big deal – I had terrible acne as a teenager, and I still have some scarring today. However, I’ve been drinking more water and have been moisturizing with a product that is really good for me, so I’ve been glowing! It’s a good distraction from the parts that I’m not so keen on …
LOVE it! Being able to love something that used to trouble you is a big deal! And now you know you can do it. Those parts of you that trouble you now can turn into parts of you that you love. Keep focusing in your beautiful, healthy, radiant, glowing skin! And know that you can love the rest of you, too! Thanks for commenting and reading! Happy New Year!
