MMMmmmm, surely something to think about. I see points for doing this both ways but know it's tried and true to actually look at oneself. More difficult but the purpose is to see and treat ourselves, whom we loathe, blame , etc., differently. To extend the empathy, kindness, gentleness, love, encouragement etc., to who we are looking at in the mirror. Very hard to do but can really work!

I just don't know if changing it up will accomplish the same goal. I haven't researched this exercise therapists use, but it has great success as is.

I wouldn't ever judge you for changing it up. 😊

Best wishes, Sunny flower
