SEE YOURSELF WELL
Self-image and self-concept are the keys to success! How you view
yourself and your role are the basis for everything you do in the world. Add
in self-esteem, your level of confidence and satisfaction in yourself,
and you have the triple crown! Your self-image sets the boundaries for
your level of accomplishment. It defines what you can and cannot do,
what you will and will not do, every day.
A positive, realistic self-image is the foundation. Your brain and
nervous system operate purposefully to accomplish your goals. There are
many ways to enhance this process. Improving your self--image is first!
You have a mental "blueprint" of yourself. It is built up from your own
beliefs about yourself, many of which have been unconsciously formed
from your past experiences, your successes and failures, your triumphs and
tribulations, and, from the way other peoples have reacted to you,
especially in your formative years.
Most of your actions, feelings, and, even your abilities, will be
consistent with your self-image. You will act like the person you see
yourself as being. Your self-image is the foundation upon which you base your
personality, your behavior and your circumstances. Because of this your
experiences seem to verify, and thereby strengthen, your self-image and
a vicious, or a beneficial, cycle is in motion.
Your self-image can be changed. Your sub-conscious mind is
goal-striving in nature. It serves you by making every effort to fulfill your
self-image--the way you see yourself and your roles in the world. You are in
charge!
Take a few moments to reflect upon your true, current self-image. If it
is a little tarnished in some places, decide to view yourself in a more
positive, successful light.
ALWAYS REMEMBER----WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO EXPANDS!
