I read this blog post about a woman who went on a mirror diet. She just didn't look in a mirror for a long long long time. A month.
Doesn't that kind of sound like a vacation from yourself, including your insecurities and fears?
Check it out here:
What she found:
"What I didn’t realize until I was unburdened from some of my self-imposed (and likely invented) expectations was exactly how much of my energy was going into appearing. Appearing to be interested, appearing to be womanly, appearing to be a professional lady, appearing to be pretty. No wonder I'm exhausted."
