mirror work

Shisha textile craft

Mirror work is a self-help practice of gazing at your own reflection while speaking affirmations or engaging in self-dialogue.

Popularized by Louise Hay, it's used to build self-esteem and challenge negative self-perception: I do mirror work every morning before leaving the house.

The term also refers to decorative craft using small mirror pieces, especially in South Asian textiles and embroidery.
