Meaning of Self-Image -  The idea, conception, or mental image one has of oneself.

Self-Esteem - Respect or favorable image of oneself (Random House Dictionary)

Self-image is how you perceive you.

It is a number of self-impressions that have built up over time and when we work with our clients on Self-Esteem we ask the following questions:

What are your hopes and dreams?

What do you think and feel?

What have you done throughout your life and what did you want to do instead?

If you could design your ideal life, what would it look like, sound like and feel like?

What would you be saying to yourself in the mirror each morning?

We work on you having a very positive self-image and we give you confidence in your thoughts and actions and deleting negative thoughts, which make you doubtful of your full capabilities. 

Having a positive or negative self-image doesn’t only affect your life, it also affects your health and relationships with others.  To love others you must love yourself first, it is the first rule of love!

Surprisingly, your own self-image can be very different from how the world perceives you. Some people who outwardly seem to have it all, including intelligence, looks, personal and financial success may have a bad self-image. Equally, others who have had a very difficult life and multiple hardships may also have a very positive self-image.

If you project a positive self-image, people will be more likely to see you as a positive, capable person in your life and career.

However, it's important that your self-image be both positive and realistic.

Having a self-image that is unrealistic can be a drawback, whether that self-image is negative OR positive. Sometimes having an occasional negative thought or criticism about oneself can encourage change, hard work, growth and success. Sometimes having too positive an image of oneself can encourage complacency, underachievement, and arrogance.

Finding the balance between feeling positive about you and having realistic goals and dreams are important.

Once you find your positive and realistic self-esteem, you have created the first step to success and believe me; I see it here everyday at Trend and it is wonderful.
