Self Image
"Who and What do YOU see when you look in the mirror?
It's how you see yourself, and what you think of yourself, that matters most. (What others think of you, really is ... none of your business!)
Self Image - What is it ?Self image is how you see yourself in relation to others. This may be how you see yourself physically or it may be more about the idea you have of yourself which could also be called self concept. It is very important as it affects your self esteem and confidence.
Self image includes:
* What you think you look like physically
* How your personality comes across
* What kind of person you think you are
* What you think others think of you
* How much you like yourself or you think others like you
Connection to Self Esteem
If you have poor self opinion your self esteem will be poor. How exactly are they different? Self Esteem focuses on how you feel about yourself. Image is about how you see yourself. They are, as you can see, quite close.
Relationships
Image is to do with how people perceive you and this will affect how they relate to you. It will affect your relationships either positively or negatively.
You may believe how you see yourself is how others see you. This cannot be true. Your view of yourself is shaped by your unique thoughts and beliefs and you will have a distorted view. You will see yourself in a positive or negative way and both will be biased. You may have a negative view of yourself and if so you are probably highly critical of yourself.
How to Improve your Self Image
- List things you like about yourself - include appearance, personality and skills
- Change negative thoughts to positive thoughts by focusing on the positive ones and trying to forget the negative things that happen to you
- Take up an exercise program - you will feel better and look better! more about self image and exercise
- Remember good things people have said about you and note them down if you want
- Question whether your view of yourself is accurate examine why you see yourself like you do
- Make any changes you think would help you for example clothes, appearance, hair style, behaviour in certain situations
- Accept things about yourself that are true and learn to think about them in a positive way
- Take yourself less seriously and lighten up!
- Accept criticism in a constructive way so you can improve and develop
- Don't be limited by your internal image, step outside of it and break free, it doesn't have to control you or keep you down. Acting differently will change how others see you and will also help to change your own attitude towards yourself and your abilities
- Take up challenges positively and surprise yourself!
- Read positive and motivating books - autobiography's etc ... Check out the Library on this site, these will help you.
- Your ONLY limits are Self imposed by the erroneous belief that you are not worthy of the outcome you desire. This core belief, emerging from a split mind, has you believing that you are somehow separate from your source. The truth is: You are not! This is a false conclusion to your true inheritance and is the basis for your lifetime journey home.
The Truth?
YOU ARE WORTHY ... and DESERVING OF IT ALL!
Any 'belief' contrary to this belief must be discarded at all cost.
