The Looking Glass Self

Inhale. Exhale. How about we do that again, and this time like we mean it. Inhale. Exhale. Welcome to a Hit of Hope. I teach interpersonal communication, and one of the theories I teach is called the looking glass self, and this is the self that gets reflected back to us from others. So, you play piano, and someone says, “You are such a good piano player,” and therefore you play more piano, because that is who someone has said you are.

Reviews

I am not one to typically leave a review of a meditation. I guess I prefer more anonymity in my spiritual quest. But I feel compelled today to write to you and to thank you for your meditations. When one pops up on insight timer, I know my day is going to be a little bit brighter, a little more centered, and a whole lot better. Sometimes you make me laugh out loud, sometimes a tear silently slips down my face and always I come away with a refreshing new outlook. I thank you for sharing your wisdom, your humor, your insights, and yes, your grace. I just had to let you know.

The universe spoke to keep through you today. Thank you!
