Doing a high five to yourself in the mirror every morning can offer several psychological and emotional benefits:
1. Boosts Self-Esteem: Engaging in positive affirmations, like a high five to yourself, can enhance self-esteem. Research shows that self-affirmation practices help individuals recognise their worth and abilities (Cohen & Sherman, 2014).
2. Promotes Positivity: Starting the day with a positive gesture can set a tone for optimism. Studies indicate that practicing gratitude and engaging in positive self-talk can significantly improve mood and overall outlook (Emmons & McCullough, 2003).
3. Enhances Motivation: A morning ritual that includes a high five can serve as a motivational boost. It reinforces a positive mindset, encouraging individuals to tackle challenges throughout the day (Ryan & Deci, 2000).
4. Builds Resilience: Positive self-gestures can help build emotional resilience. A study found that self-affirmation can reduce stress and enhance coping skills in difficult situations (Sherman & Hartson, 2011).
5. Strengthens Self-Compassion: This simple act can foster a sense of self-compassion, allowing individuals to treat themselves with the same kindness they would offer a friend, which is linked to improved mental health (Neff, 2003).
In summary, performing a high five to yourself in the mirror every morning can enhance self-esteem, promote positivity, boost motivation, build resilience, and strengthen self-compassion, contributing to an overall improved sense of well-being.
“Deborah Mulvany has introduced me to a thing called the high-five habit, something that I have now adopted Strangely daily. Before I look at my phone in the morning or do anything else, I go into the bathroom and give myself a high-five. It is really bizarre! The Use of your reticular activating system (RAS) to create a positive feeling first thing in the morning absolutely changes your attitude throughout the rest of the day. The consequence of doing this high-five habit for me and my business has been, that since I started doing it, we have taken on board five new clients in the last month. Prior to that, the 3 months before, we had not taken on a single client, so the changes it can make you are absolutely powerful. I would thoroughly recommend anybody have a conversation with Deborah to come along to her workshop because it is life-changing.”
