Uplevel your self-image
If you went to a movie and the movie was about you and your life, what would you think about it? Would you be entertained? Would you like the movie and be impressed with your character? Interesting thought.
Your self-image is your concept of who you are. It is a combination of your experiences, what you did well and what not, how other people react to you, your feelings about your life. All these things outline who you think you are, which you believe to be true.
How you perceive yourself will determine how you show up, what you think and in the things you do and the results you create for yourself. If you think you are a certain type of person, you will always prove that to be true by the results that you create. You can only create to your self-image. It’s a little like a thermostat, if it gets too hot, the aircon will kick in to cool the air to the set temperature, and visa versa.
A lot of people do create beyond their self-image, but you will always do something to bring you back to your set self-image. For example, you have all heard about most lottery winners who lose all the money they won within, I think it’s 5 years. They will always reset till their self-image level.
The question is: Can you change your self-image?
The simple answer is yes. The problem is that people rarely see that the trouble is with their evaluation of themselves. We just think we are the way we are, that it is a truth. But the truth is that we are never too old to change our self-image and have a new life that is filled with all the things you could wish for. Your best life.
One of the first things you need to discover is how you think about yourself. Who are you really? What is the real truth about you? Make a list of all the things that are true about you. Remember you were created as a unique individual and you will have traits and characteristics, a combination of which no one else will have.
Uplevel your self-image
Now if you find a whole bunch of negative thoughts about yourself, know that you can change them. How? By thinking new thoughts about yourself. Forget about your history, your experiences. Just think about your successes even if there is just one. You have a duty to yourself and to others to make your life the best one you can possibly make.
Will this be easy? Probably not. There is some work to be done if you want to uplevel your self-image.

Hi, I’m Antoinette Porter, your hostess at Live Life Inspired where we will explore what is possible in your life. A life you can look back on and say, “Wow!! I did that!”
In today’s world where we have social media at our fingertips and TV remotes not far away, we do have a real problem switching off and taking it easy. This is exasperated by the fact that we go crazy if we have nothing to keep ourselves busy with. Boredom? No way. However, this will require you to be present with yourself. Then there is nothing in the way of you and your thoughts. In this space you get to figure out who you are.
When you are thinking those brand new thoughts about yourself, are you thinking about who you would like to be? If you could succeed at anything, who would you be? Then step out there and become it. You may be nervous, not sure of yourself, do something wrong, but you are stepping into your new life. It may take a bit of practice, but you will succeed. And as Anthony Hopkins says in one of his Instagram posts…believe, believe, believe.
