Self-image is the opinion you have about yourself. It's your own belief and truth of what you think and feel about yourself, what you are capable of, what you are worth, what you are good at, what you are bad at, where you need to improve, where there is an opportunity for growth and what your strengths and weaknesses are. This inner self-image determines what you attract in life, how well you do, your behavior and actions which in turn impacts your results.
You also have an outer self-image. That image is the outer expression of the inner image. It's the way you talk, walk, dress and associate with others.
Whatever you think of yourself is often limiting you in some way. Your results in life are a combination of your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions.
Your self-image has been deeply programmed into your subconscious mind and is your habitual way of living every day.
Your self-image can be recreated, and by doing so, you will use your imagination for yourself instead of against yourself. Your imagination is where your ideas are formed and created. Once you change it, what you or others thought was impossible becomes possible. Whatever you think about yourself right now can be 100% changed. You don't have to become a new version of yourself, you just have to see yourself as a different version. You are not changing who you are, you are changing how you see yourself. When you expand your self-image, you broaden the area of possibility.
If you believe you are not worthy of success, do you think it's possible to achieve it? NO, because you are programmed to only receive "unworthiness." If you continue to see yourself as ordinary, receiving ordinary results, then that is what you will continue to receive in your life, more ordinary.
Can you imagine a life where you love yourself, you are proud of yourself and you are happy with what you have done and accomplished? When you are born, you don't think bad things about yourself, nor do you talk bad about yourself, you are simply amazing. Get back to thinking you are perfect, the best version, the one who helps others, who achieves greatness, the one who steps outside the sandbox because they know deep down they can achieve anything. It's time to trust, believe and express yourself instead of suppressing it.
For many years, I wanted to fit in, I wanted to be like everyone else, I wanted to fix everything and everyone and most importantly I wanted so much recognition and praise for what I was doing. In wanting all of that, I ended up modifying who I was to what I thought others wanted me to be. I wasn't living, I wasn't expressing, I was simply suppressing myself.
The day I started focusing on my growth, self-development, limiting beliefs and values, everything changed for me. I started living on a high frequency of vibration, attracting success, positivity, and the people I wanted in my life. I am limitless!
Changing the self-image to what you want is the most important work you will ever do. Work on yourself and be honest. The more honest and real you are with yourself, the bigger the difference you will make in your self-image. The demand of yourself, what you demand of others!
By changing your self-image, your subconscious will change and your new self-image will become part of your daily life.
Do you want to spend the rest of your days with the old self-image or do you want to be successful, influential, and badass?
Every day, visualize yourself as this new person, behave and show up with this new self-image and you will attract the results and the life you want. What you think about is what you get!
