In this episode of Ministry of Self, Mike and Jen talk about how the mirror can play a powerful role in knowing our inner self.

They explore how to use the mirror to slow down our minds to allow time to reflect upon our lives in a quiet and silent way. Gazing into our thoughts and feelings without fear or distractions.  

They also talk about drawing circles to identify areas of our lives that impact our emotional health. The bigger the circle, the bigger the issue. It's just another tool to help us to address our challenges in a way that doesn’t allow distractions to get in the way.

 Mirrors and circles belong to our inner emotional self, they are not shared.

Ministry of Self is a podcast where engagement strategist Jennifer Cromarty and emotional intelligence practitioner Mike Martin talk about the importance of understanding the self, how others influence who you are and why our emotions drive everything.

We believe that it is for all of us to think about who we really are or what we can become if we are emotionally strong and fulfilled. The gifts accorded us such as creativity, skills, beliefs, and strength are all much more enhanced when linked to our healthy emotions.

In this episode Jen and Mike talk about the concept of emotional filters.

When we have doubt or low self-esteem, it affects the quality of the outcome we are working towards. Wouldn't it be far better to filter our thoughts and emotions through creativity, competence and intelligent risk? These parts of our-selves are untouched by pain or hurt.

The way we behave and think are often filtered by emotions that have been influenced by others. Wouldn't it be far better to be accepted for who you are?
