Boost Your Self-Image
Imagine all you can accomplish by having a positive self-image. Your confidence can increase which means that you can deal with more situations. People will respond to your increased self-image in a positive way as well.
The first step to improving your self-image is to know yourself. You need to understand your capabilities and skill set. On the opposite end, you also want to determine your weaknesses to improve upon. Remember to stay positive while identifying these. Weaknesses can easily be turned into strengths through determination and perseverance.
Change to for a positive self-image!
Establish which aspects about you are important to change and concentrate on those. There may be traits that you are not that concerned with and won’t have much effect on your self-image. Ignore those. You can’t and shouldn’t change every aspect of yourself, as it might define who you are. Sometimes, you should just accept those aspects of your personality and move on.
You need to be willing to change, especially if you don’t feel good about yourself, you have to make changes to turn that around. Change is never easy, but when it comes to increasing your self-image, you will see that it’s worth every effort.
Seek the opinion of others
Seek the opinions of trusted friends and family, ask them for an honest opinion about what is great about you and what is not so great. Be prepared for the honesty, don’t judge them for their opinions, but rather take onboard what they suggest and see if it’s in line with the self-image you would like to have.
Keep in mind that no matter what kind of help you get, this is your journey of personal change. Don’t worry about what others may believe, although hearing there opinion might enlighten you to aspects of yourself you have never thought about and stop comparing yourself to other people too. They don’t have to live your life. You are the one that must live with the consequences of your new image, both good and bad. Try to emphasise only the good whenever possible.
When your self-image improves, just about every aspect of your life will follow. You will have better relationships at home and at work, and you will have a positive attitude (do be mindful of the fact that if you are in an abusive relationship, it might not have a positive impact as self-image is one of the things which abusers want to and often do breakdown first, but it can be the deciding factor to help you to leave what is not serving you – Read more: An Unsafe House Is Not A Home – Domestic Violence)
Tasks will seem less challenging partly because people will be more willing to pitch in to help you accomplish them. Remember the saying, “We are what we think”. You can share your new-found positive energy and might find with the extra confidence you may want to be around others more too. This may open opportunities for you that you never thought you would have at your disposal.
