I would want the mirror to be realistic, but complimentary. I would want to hear words of encouragement not just about how I look, but about how I should feel proud of who I have become and wear that feeling on my face. I think that’s exactly what I’ll do today! –Dr. Vivian

In this world, finding a good mate is not easy. Then after you find one, keeping the flame is another battle of its own. That is why we constantly need advice and information on how to keep our relationships happy. Today Tuesday, I was searching on Google for get woman back and I came across this post ( Glance in the mirror as you leave your house this morning. If your reflection could talk, what words would you want it to say back to you to help you feel and look good for the rest of the day? — Face It), It has added to my knowledge and I thank you.

I would want my mirror to say “What happened to those jowels? They’re gone!”, and “Wow! Just ONE neck now? Lovely.”

Xina, Perhaps you might try thinking that you and your body deserve a more self respecting response? You might try acceptance, rather than self criticism. These jowels and any changes in your body will not disappear just by wishing them away, so try focusing on other aspects of your body that you enjoy. Remember that you notice the imperfections much more than others do. Dr. Vivian

I would be happy that I could get myself up for leaving the house! I think I am becoming a recluse….

Pamela,
You need to pay attention to what your behavior is telling you. What are you withdrawing and retreating from and when did it start? Was there a particular event that might have precipitated these feelings? It might be helpful to ask yourself these questions.
Remember, if we don’t pay attention to our feelings that doesn’t mean they’ll go away.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall . . . .
Stand tall, be proud of who you are today and don’t forget your water!

Jennifer, Great words to pass on. Most women have so much to be proud of by the time they reach midlife and if we just conveyed that pride on our faces and in the way we held our bodies, we would all look and feel better! Pass it on. Dr. Vivian

I would like the mirror to say, “Girl, you look pretty good for 63, you have that great smile and pretty figure, even if you do have jowls and laugh lines. And, people like you because you are warm and friendly, not for your looks. “You go girl!”

Joan, you’re right again. “You go girl!” Wear that feeling on your face and you’ll be doing all women, young and not so young, a favor. Too many young women tell me they look at women in their 60s and they appear sad, or scared. We don’t have to disappear just because our looks are changing. On the contrary, we have a lot to be proud of and the next generation should see that written on our faces. Dr. Vivian

At age 63, I take good care of myself spiritually, healthwise, foodwise, relationshipwise and creatively doing meaningful work. When I look in the mirror, I see a wise, erotic, healthy, slim, stylish women who feels confident and
grateful for her aliveness and beauty as a woman of a “certin age.”
I am a role model for younger women and women my age who haven’t yet discovered who they are and taken responsibility for creating happiness in the sense of acceptance and living in the moment.

I would want the mirror to say, “You have taken care of your most beautiful asset, your inner beauty. You are worthy to be loved.”
