MIRROR

A personal guide

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

What’s going on for you right now?

You’re not sure.
Everything feels mixed together.
You wish someone could just sort it all out for you.

That happens.

What will you have in 20 minutes?

One clear sentence.

Not “it’s complicated.”
Not “I’m stuck.”

Something specific:

• “Right now, what matters to me is…”
• “What’s holding me back is…”
• “What I can do is…”

This isn’t the answer to everything.
It’s a starting point.

How it works

You pick a card.
You look at the image.
You read the question.
You write down the first thing that comes up.

No magic.
No hidden knowledge.

Just you, a piece of paper, and a bit of quiet.

Who this is NOT for

If you already know what to do.
If you have a clear plan and the resources.
If you don’t want to look inward right now.

That’s completely okay.

Who this is for

If the answer is there, but quiet.
If you’re tired of choosing.
If inside is chaos — and outside is a deadline.

Stay.

The answer won’t appear out of nowhere.
But it will stop being silent.

ABOUT THE NEUROGAME

Mirror is not entertainment, and it’s not fortune-telling.
It’s a tool for discovering your own answers.

The “neurogame” format is used here to help you stay focused and gently bypass your usual automatic thinking patterns.

Mirror doesn’t give you answers.
It doesn’t interpret you.
It doesn’t tell you what’s right.

It helps you translate:

• “Everything is bad” → “Right now, what’s hard for me is…”
• “I don’t know what to choose” → “What matters to me is…”
• “I’m tired” → “What I need to restore is…”
• “I don’t understand” → “What I’ve noticed is…”

What you get from this process depends not on the rules,
but on how honest you’re willing to be with yourself — right now.

WHAT YOU CAN USE THE CARDS FOR

When used with attention and calm, the cards can help you:

• pause and notice your current state;
• clarify thoughts and feelings that are hard to put into words;
• see your situation from a different angle;
• notice inner contradictions and tension;
• identify a possible next step.

The cards don’t promise change.
They create space where change becomes possible.

A FEW SIMPLE AGREEMENTS

Before you begin:

• You can stop or take a pause at any time.
• You only answer what you’re ready to answer.
• There are no right or wrong answers.
• Your first response is enough — no need to analyze or explain.
• If it feels too heavy, you can choose a lighter format or come back later.

These cards don’t replace working with a professional,
but they can support your self-understanding.

TWO WAYS TO USE THE CARDS

You can choose either format — or move deeper at any point.

LEVEL 1 — Quick format

Good for a first experience or a light check-in with yourself.

• Choose the theme that feels most relevant right now.
• Look at the images and pick the one that draws your attention.
• Turn the card over and read the description.
• Ask yourself: “What in this resonates with me right now?”
• You don’t have to write anything — just notice what comes up: a thought, a feeling, or a body sensation.
• If you feel like continuing the conversation with yourself, you can move to the deeper format.

LEVEL 2 — Deeper format

If you feel ready to go further and give yourself more time.

Before you begin

• Find a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted.
• Put your phone aside. Take a sheet of paper and a pen.
• Sit with yourself in silence for 3–5 minutes.
• You don’t need to analyze or solve anything. Just notice: what feels most present, or what you need most right now.
• When you feel a bit more focused, begin.

A note

Each theme has its own color frame.
If cards get mixed, you can easily sort them back: one theme — one color.

Steps

• Choose a theme.
• Choose an image — not logically, but by feel.
• Read the description.
• Move to the questions and go through them one by one.
• Write your answers as they come: words, phrases, or images.
• If a question doesn’t resonate, you can skip it.
• At the end, pause and look at everything you’ve written. Sometimes the bigger picture becomes clear only at this point.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT

• Don’t rush. You set the pace.
• Write down even what seems small or unimportant.
• Notice not just thoughts, but also emotions and body sensations.
• Come back to the cards when you feel the need — not because you “should.”

CLOSING A THEME

After answering the questions, use one of the integration cards.

TRANSLATION

From feeling → to meaning

• Read through your answers.
• Find the sentence that feels most true.
• Complete this phrase:

“If I strip everything else away, what matters to me right now is…”

This is not a plan.
It’s a point of support.

STEP

From meaning → to action

• Look at what you wrote in the “Translation” card.
• Ask yourself:

“What is one thing I can do in the next 24 hours?”

Not “solve everything.”
Not “fix it all.”

One small step.

Write.
Call.
Put the phone away.
Say “no.”
Say “yes.”

If no step comes — do nothing.

Awareness is already a result.

You can use one card or both — right away or with a pause.
Go at your own pace, and stay with what feels relevant now.

IMPORTANT

The cards don’t work instead of you.
They work with you.

WHEN TO USE MIRROR

• once;
• from time to time;
• returning to the same themes in different states.

Each time will be different —
because you are different each time.
