Transcript
If we learn to see ourselves the way we might look at our mother, a sister, a best friend, just
to see our face as a face, no matter what we decide to do with it, we're gonna feel better about our face because we
see our face for what it is rather than something to be manipulated in order to please someone else. [MUSIC PLAYING]
Women are starting, you know, when they start to see signs of aging in their face, they become very unhappy because it's only going one way.
It's not gonna-- it's not something that's gonna reverse itself. And they understand what the pressures are.
They understand what the biases are toward older women. And I think it's very troubling to most of us
when we see the signs of aging in ourselves. If you can tolerate looking into your own eyes
and allowing your feelings to come up, you-- eventually, if you do it regularly as an exercise,
you begin to have better, higher self-esteem, better feelings about your face, and more positive feelings about the way you look.
I went over to the mirror in my office and I looked into my own eyes. And I just kept looking at myself until I actually saw myself.
In other words, I saw the human being who lives there. And I felt completely better. What it does and what it did for me is,
it helped me learn how to de-objectify the image I see in the mirror, which is super, super important.
When I look in the mirror, I don't see an old woman. I probably am in denial. I think being in denial is fine about some things
if it makes you feel better. [AUDIO LOGO]
