In
this episode of the Warrior Mind Podcast I’m going to be talking about the importance
of your self-image, what it is and how to change it.
Your Self-Image Creates Your
Reality
Do you often wonder why it
is challenging for you to change your life? More so, why do you not start doing
the things that will boost your wealth, health and relationship?
There is only one answer to those question, your life is determined by your self-image. How do you see yourself like? Your mind will subconsciously follow the image you see yourself like. What you try to say to yourself is only a conscious decision. “I want to change.”
The conscious decisions will
never overpower your subconscious. That’s the reason people often change for a
while and are then forced back on their blueprint path.
What
is the meaning of self-image?
Self-image is in simple
terms the way you see yourself in mind. What are your characters, what makes
you, who is the real you? Regardless, everybody has mental pictures of herself
or himself.
Our self-images are diverse
including poor or rich, successful or unsuccessful, fat or thin and winners or
losers. How you see yourself becomes the blueprint of your life. Our self-image
acts like the software of the computer in our minds. You automatically operate
according to how you look at yourself in the inner image.
Similar to an airplane
flight, our lives have a set destiny when they start. An airplane will have an
established destination, for example, Washington DC. The destination acts as
your goal in life that you aim to achieve. It is your self-image.
A midcourse correction is
common while in a flight. The plane may decide to go to New York via London.
This is the same situations in life where you come across distractions in your
course of pursuing your goals. However, this does not change the destination
point. Regardless of life’s distractions, you will achieve your goals.
Your actions that you take
during life determines your life reality. Positive reactions are as a result of
positive mental attitude brought about by thinking consciously. Regardless of
that, your subconscious mind makes most of your decisions. This is because
subconscious mind operates according to your self-image.
Our life follows our
self-image strictly. The blueprint gives our lives consistency giving them a
specific goal and outcome. Otherwise, our lives would be a combination of lots
of unresulting outcomes.
What happens in cases such
as when a famous athlete with record-breaking success starts to lose his or her
life after a defeat?
The athlete sees himself or
herself as a winner. In their self-image, they are winners and cannot see
themselves losing. A defeat impacts their self-image making to change from a
winner to a loser. The situation does not only occur in sports but all aspects
of life.
People suffer failure in all
aspects of life including health, financially, emotionally, and mentally. This
takes part in changing your self-image and will affect your life. The newly
acquired self-image prevents you from getting your life back on track. The new
