    Hello everybody.

    Over the last 2 weeks I've been putting my soul mirror together. By
    struggling away, trying to think

    about myself in past situations, I managed to come up with about 150
    items for my white and

    black mirrors (300 total). Then I hit an impenetrable brick wall. No
    go... no way.

    There were only 2 choices - either I am completely and utterly shallow
    (!) or there must be more in

    there. To rule out the second option I had to get creative. In the
    hope that they might be of

    interest to someone else, here they are the most successful things I
    tried...

    1. spend a week away from work just observing yourself doing nothing.
    A vacation is perfect - any change of

    routine.
    2. Email questionnaires to 50 friends and ask for anonymous feedback.
    I used my web-site for this.
    3. Order an on-line astrological character profile (eg. Equinox.co.uk
    is reliable) and pick up keywords from it
    4. Watch TV programs you don't normally - what buttons get pushed?
    5. Online thesaurus - look for synonyms that make sense based on words
    you already have.
    6. As step 5 but use Google and search for images rather than sites.
    All sorts of creative ideas come to mind
    7. Re-read really old letters and communications. Pick out keywords.
    If you have a thesis, go back and read that.

    You won't believe the repetitive words you used to use.
    8. Group existing mirror items together in categories of your
    choosing. Repeat this to get all possible combinations.
    Where are the holes/gaps? Can you make them more general? How about
    more specific?

    9 Deliberately stop all work on soul mirror to absorb myself in other
    things - amazing how many things crop up when

    you're not looking for them! (particularly when you don't have a pen
    handy...).

    It seems to me that struggling away has it's own merits. Being
    creative like this has both advantages and disadvantages.
    With every single one, I made sure that the words I chose carried both
    an emotional charge, and made intuitive sense
    based on what I already knew to be true. I've found that you need to
    separate the wheat from the chaff without being too
    rational. Size does matter, but quality is more important than
    quantity!

    Now I have over 200 items on each side of my mirror, with more to come
    here and there, no doubt. If you're struggling away
    trying to see what you can't see, then you might find some joy with a
    similar approach. I hope so.

    Cheers,

    Marcus.
