This is Part 2 that is continued from the first post.
Link 4: 'Mirror Fasts' Help Take the Focus Off Yourself - This article was written by Kate Murphy and was posted on the New York Times online website. It talks about 'mirror fasting' as an exercise that is allowing others to see themselves more clearly when they don't need to focus on mirrors. The article mentions and talks to Autumn Whitefield-Madrano, Kjerstin Gruys, and Marisa Gizzio about their experiences with 'mirror fasting' and how it has effected them. The 'mirror fasting' helped them all in different ways in the end. They also talked Dr. Kate Fox, a social anthropologist, Dr. Eric Hollander, a clinical professor of psychiatry, Adrienne Ressler, a social worker and therapist, and Felice Austin, a hypnotherapist about what they think about 'mirror fasting' too.
Link 5: Mirror fasting: what a great idea! - This article was written by Michele Hanson in the Gulf Times from London. As I read through this article is seemed as if he wasn't being helpful but was somewhat laughing in the faces of us, American women that have tried 'mirror fasting'. Through he does give Autumn Whitefield-Madrano credit for doing it. And it also talks about how mirrors have crushed our self images for a long time but it didn't start until we had mirrors for when we didn't like the middle ages we didn't focus on our self image as much as we do now.
I hope that you enjoyed the links that I was able to find for everyone on 'mirror fasting' once again.
How is mirror fasting helping you see yourself more clearly?
ReplyDeleteMirror fasting is helping me see myself in a light that I didn't know was possible and it has helped me to realize that I don't need a mirror to feel good. I can do that all by myself. It has also helped to have friends around that have been encouraging and looking forward to when I finish soon.
