Create a New Self Image for yourself....

Dear Thomas,

Your Self Image is basically the
perception you have of yourself.

Your identity, abilities, worth, etc.
It is your mental blueprint that determines:

* How you feel about yourself on a daily basis

* Who you think you are and your "role" in society

* The results you expect (and receive) in life

* How you react in certain situations

* Where your "comfort zone" is
(For example: the things you WOULD and WOULDN'T do)

The self image is one of the most powerful parts
of our personality, yet we pay so little attention
to it mainly because we were never taught about
it in school, at work or by our parents.

Now, you may not believe me, but your self image
regulates everything you think, everything you feel,
and everything you do... everyday AUTOMATICALLY.

I'll prove it to you.

Have you ever tried to set a goal that's larger
than what you're currently used to, then quietly
backed down, returned to your comfort zone,
and fell into you old habits without realizing it?

That's because your self image was REGULATING
the amount of success you can achieve. You backed
down because deep down inside, it didn't feel like
something "you" would do.

let me give you another example...

If I asked you to go into a room full of
strangers, and go up to every single one
of them and introduce yourself with a smile
on your face, would you do it?

The reality is, unless you "thought of yourself"
as a naturally outgoing and likable person,
you probably wouldn't do it. The thought of
it might even make "you" nervous.

You might say something like,
"Oh, that's not who I am." or
"I'm not that kind of person."

But, how do you KNOW who you really are?

Most people have just accepted the
self image they were "given" instead
of designing and installing the one
they truly want.

(You know this is the case when you keep
trying to change but the change never sticks)

Now, even though you can't fight
against your self image, you CAN change it.

If you want to be the kind of person
who gets the things you WANT in life,
you have to see yourself AS THAT PERSON.

Think of change as something that happens
from the inside out. As you believe yourself
to be this new person, your behaviors will
naturally follow. And this is the secret
to creating LONG TERM change.

The good news is that changing your
self image isn't difficult when you
follow these 2 simple steps.

First, spend some time DESIGNING who you want to be.

forget your past and everything you believe
about yourself and allow your mind to wander
and think about all the qualities you would
like to have. How you'd like to think, act
and feel about things. (do this with
an open, non judgmental attitude)

Next, once you have a clear, inspiring
idea of who you want to be, INSTALL it
into your mind.

There is a little more to this step,
but basically you want to imagine yourself
as this new person. Make it real by thinking
of specific situations and see, hear, and
feel yourself acting as this new person.

The more you do this, the more you
become this new person, naturally.
