Reinvent Yourself: The Art of Shaping Your Self-Image for Success

We cannot outgrow the limitations in our heads. That means, if you want to improve, you need to recognize and challenge the limitations in your mind. Improvement starts with self-analysis. Take the time to reflect on your beliefs, habits, and thought patterns.

Are there any negative or limiting beliefs holding you back?

Are there areas where you doubt your abilities or potential?

By identifying these internal barriers, you can start the process of breaking them down. One by one.

For some time now, I've been interested in the discovery about human behavior called self-image. You may already be familiar with the self-image idea. This is the principle that each of us is controlled by our mental picture of ourselves. Our self-image is our own conception of the sort of person ‘’I am’’. Each of us builds a self-image out of our beliefs about ourselves. It's unconsciously formed from past experiences, our successes and failures, humiliations, and triumphs. In short, this mental picture we have of ourselves turns out to be a kind of life-governing device. It controls our reactions to life and other people, our feelings, thoughts, actions, and even abilities.



We are the person we believe ourselves to be. It's interesting, isn't it? It's exciting to realize that our self-image can be changed. As I said we can't outgrow the limits we impose on ourselves. Our thoughts, habits, and even our abilities must be those of the person we believe ourselves to be. We can set new limits in place of old ones, but we can't surpass the limits of our current self-image.
