DEAR LOUISE,

I am 13 years old and I come from Canada. I am doing a school project on positive thinking and the power of positive minds. I have a question to ask the Queen of Positive thinking since you are an inspiration to people all around the world. "If you could teach 1 thing to this generation of kids, what would it be?" -Alice

Dear Alice,

The first thing I would teach anyone and especially this generation of kids would be Mirror Work. Mirror Work is the fastest thing we can do to put our lives on a positive track. Mirror Work is simple to do and often difficult to begin because most people and kids do not like themselves very much.

Mirror Work is simply looking in a mirror and saying to yourself: "Alice, I love you, I really love you."

Do this first thing in the morning and several times a day. At first it feels really icky because we are used to picking on ourselves. But if you will continue to do it for a few days, your feelings will change and it will feel normal and natural to talk to yourself this way. The next thing you know your whole life will change for the better.

We are born perfect and pick up negative messages from parents, relatives, teachers, beauty ads, churches etc as we grow up.

2. So Mirror Work, it is s Magical thing to do.

3. Mirror Work can be done in any language in any country. Love heals and the love we develop for ourselves puts us in positive frame of mind and aligns us with Life.

I personally say every day, "I love Life and Life loves me." Alice, try this yourself, give it 2 weeks or so, you will see it works and then you can teach it.
