Is It Time To Update Your Self-Image? (Part II)

12 Comments »

Self-Esteem-and-PerceptionDo you want to be a person who GETS what you WANT in your life?

Then you have to SEE YOURSELF as that person!

The IMAGE you have of yourself is the one that will be PLAYED out in YOUR life.

If you want to know what IMAGE you have of yourself right now, just look at what’s playing out in your life.

That tells you EXACTLY the image you have of YOURSELF on the inside.

Change is something that needs to happen from the inside out.

Just like if you want to watch a different DVD movie, you have to go inside the DVD player, take out the old DVD and replace it with a new DVD.

If you leave the old DVD in, no matter what you do, the movie on the TV screen will not change.

The SECRET to creating long term CHANGE is to go inside yourself, to your SUBCONSCIOUS mind, and begin to see the new person you want to become.

Changing your self image ISN’T DIFFICULT, but it does require PERSISTENCY and CONSISTENCY.

Follow these TWO easy steps:

1.  Design the person you want to be.

Allow your mind to IMAGINE all the QUALITIES you would like to have.

  • How would you like to act?
  • What would you like to look like?
  • How would you like to feel about things?
  • What would your life be like?

Think about as many DETAILS as you can.

2.  Install It!

Now that you have a clear, inspiring idea of who you want to be, you want to IMAGINE yourself as this person. Dream about it and play the new movie over and over again in your mind!

Make it real by thinking of specific situations and see, hear, and feel yourself acting as this new person.

The more you do this, you TRAIN yourself to act this way and you will gradually become this new person.

It’s EASY!  The KEY is to DO IT!!!

Repeat it CONSISTENTLY and PERSISTENTLY until you begin to see the new results in your life!

 ”Self-image” is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior.”

Is it Time to Update your “Self-Image”?

Self-Esteem-and-PerceptionYour Self Image is the perception you have of yourself–your identity, abilities, worth, etc.

It determines how you feel about yourself, who you think you are, the results you expect in your life, and the things you “would” and “wouldn’t” do.

Our self-image is one of the most important areas of our life, yet no one ever teaches us much about it.  We don’t talk about it much in school, or even in society.

Yet our self-image regulates everything we think, feel and do!

Have you ever tried to set a goal that’s larger than you’re used to, and then quietly backed down to your comfort zone and returned to your old habits?  That’s because your self-image didn’t really see you being able to do that.  It didn’t match up with the inside picture you had of yourself!

If you were asked to go into a room of strangers and introduce yourself to each one, would you do it?

If you saw yourself or thought of yourself as an outgoing, likeable, friendly person, you probably would.

If you see yourself as shy and an introvert, you probably would say, “That’s not who I am–I can’t do that!”

How do you KNOW who you really are?

You were programmed with a certain self-image by the people in your life.  Most people have just accepted that self image instead of designing and installing the one they truly want.

If you were programmed by parents with a low self-image, they couldn’t give you what they didn’t have but that doesn’t mean you can’t reprogram yourself.

You can change your self-image!

I’ll tell you how in my next blog!

I would love to hear what you think you can do to change your self-image or something you have done that you find works!  Comment below!
