Being a taekwondo athlete my practices always involved mirrors. At the age of 14 I got a floor to head a nice big mirror for my bedroom as well. Before that I had a small hand mirror that I just used to comb my hair otherwise kept it locked. But after getting this in my bedroom, I constantly noticed how I looked at all. Not that I am unhappy with my apparence which might be the reason most people are anxious about mirrors but looking at my own reflection everyday, every hour was just too much. I covered it with a big poster currently since the border frame of the mirror is really pretty at it was attached to my wall. I did this last year when I was 16 and have returned back to my small hand mirror whenever I need it. It has helped a lot with my anxiety and feels great to know I’m not the only one facing this

So honest and open. Understanding and admitting what you truly feel is amazing to share it is both awesome and inspiring. I’m sure it will help others
