Tips for Positive Self-Image

Recalling or remembering past hurts and failures and feeling remorse.

Comparing yourself unfavorably with others and feeling inferior.

Ashamed of how you look and hating yourself.

How to Improve Self Image

Liking your body.

You must like your body. You will do things that destroy your body if you feel bad about it. If you are struggling with how you look you should evaluate your thinking.

Is your opinion about your body realistic? Do your really need to change your figure or features? Is there something really wrong with your body?

Or is it just a personal view based on unrealistic expectations and past mental programming. Would a change give you more happiness, self confidence and success?

You have to be really honest. A poor opinion about your body is a barrier to your social interaction with others.

Changing your mental image.

You must change the picture you have been holding of yourself. You can "delete" those old images and "install" new ones.

In your imagination you can create, change and delete anything. Changing how you think and act inside your brain will change your behavior and attitude. Imagine the new you, the person that you would like to become. Imagine it vividly and add emotional intensity. Repeat it enough times.

Create new experiences.

A negative self-image weakens your confidence. You can create new reference experience to give you the boost. Take some positive or different actions. You may even have to do disagreeable things and move out of your comfort zone. New experiences will break your thinking patterns. Your self worth will improve when your opinion about yourself expands.

Questioning your limiting beliefs.

Your beliefs affect the results and experiences in your life. So if you want to experience more joy, happiness or a better relationship you must belief that it is possible.

You created your beliefs by attaching emotions to your thoughts. You can change your present limiting belief by questioning its accuracy. Questioning your beliefs often enough will make you doubt them.

Canceling and replacing your negative talks.

Your personal outlook was programmed into your subconscious, most times without your conscious awareness. With that comes your endless self talk, the internal chatters, mostly criticisms.

It is a burdensome task to monitor them. What you can do is observe your emotions. When you get a feeling that is associated with the negative, pause and try to notice what you have been saying to yourself. Do the same with positive emotions. This will enable you to cancel the disempowering talks. Replace them with positive affirmations.
