“Great shapes! Gorgeous color! You nailed it!”

My painting instructor Joan Hoffmann is never stingy with her praise, and you know whatever you’ve done merits her enthusiasm. After painting with Joan for a number of years, I’ve seen how her positive comments bring out the best in her students.

Beginning painters are inspired to continue,
Intermediate painters blossom,
Advanced painters flourish.

If you could refit all your mirrors with the same rosy lighting of approval, you too would be inspired and you would blossom and flourish. You would make supportive beauty choices that allows you to glow instead of look harsh, and exercise that makes you supple instead of stiff and tense.

How would you see yourself if you were surrounded by kindness? Try the idea on and see.
