How Positive Self Image Can make you Succesful

Okay now… I quite understand that loving yourself in spite of your supposedly setbacks, failure and your self presumed doom can be difficult.

CELEBRATE YOURSELF

But seriously, Do you know you are beautiful, successful and have all you need to live an abundant life.

I’m not trying to be motivate you because in actual fact, “THAT IS THE TRUTH”

You have to start believing in yourself in order to achieve any form of success in LIFE. 

And you can start by learning to accept yourself for who who you are while taking critical steps towards making the YOU better.

You see, self-acceptance is the acceptance and embracing of oneself in spite of one’s deficiencies. It is a state where you are satisfied or happy with yourself, which has been found to be necessary for mental health. Self-acceptance begins from when you are aware of yourself, your strengths, weaknesses and your tolerances.

Self-acceptance is an invitation to stop trying to change yourself into someone you are not or someone you wish to be. Your happiness is tied to how you are able to accept yourself.

WAYS TO SELF-ACCEPTANCE

• Celebrate your strengths – no one knows you better than yourself, celebrate who you are, write down your strengths, e.g., “I am a kind person, I am a patient person.” When you celebrate your attributes, you grow in them and they appreciate

• Create a support system – distance yourself from people who bring you down, instead surround yourself with people who accept and believe in you

• Forgive yourself – get rid of past regrets which can prevent you from practicing self-acceptance. It is important to learn from mistakes and make efforts to grow and accept that you can’t change the past.

• Manage your inner critic – notice the critical things you say about yourself, many people equate their inner critic with the voice of reasoning, but sometimes this inner critic could be harsh and judgmental and can drive you to extremes. So take those unkind negative thoughts as helpful feedback and move on.

• Perform charitable acts – when you give sacrificially to others and see how your deeds are a positive influence on others, it becomes difficult to convince yourself that you are no good.

• Be kind to yourself – being kind to oneself is not selfishness nor self-centeredness, being kind to yourself is loving yourself.
