Your Self Image Is King Of The Castle (Part 2)

Written by: Clive Littin

Article Overview: So you don't like some of the circumstances of your life? You'd like to change a few things? Where do you start? In theory we all know you start in your head. You rearrange what's going on inside. But if you have a poor self image, you may not have the energy (motivation) to start making changes. It all takes too long and it's too hard? So take just one baby step and read this article. These words are designed to remind you that how you see yourself, what you think of yourself is really the king pin. It's called your self image and it is the most important filter in your entire mind. Change your mind and just what those outer circumstances align!

Your Self Image Is King Of The Castle (Part 2)

So, my self-image that predominantly took shape when I was a child grows up with me. I don’t leave it behind. It’s worth remembering for it’s lessons but don’t let it be your prison. Don’t live today as though it were yesterday.

The best way I know to build your self image is to firstly stop judging yourself. Stop right now, being critical and condemning of yourself. Do the opposite. Just as you would a child. Praise and acknowledge yourself, all the time, every time, day in and day out.

If you decide to do this, do you think your life will remain the same? Don’t make that self-appreciation just a veneer, let it sink in real deep so that it becomes your default way of thinking about yourself. Develop a profound, habitual  self-accepting, non-judgmental attitude toward yourself. Silence the voice of your internal heckler by ignoring it! Ignore it and it will go away.

Now I’d like to offer you ten powerful suggestions for bringing your self-image up to date and becoming more of who you really are. More of your own person.


1. Do something differently every day. Anything at all. Just break a routine and do it a little differently. Sometimes this may mean taking a risk!

2. Resurrect your dream for yourself. Find a picture that captures or symbolises your dream and stick it somewhere prominent so that you’ll see if every day.

3. Write down your goals again clearly. On a card will do and carry the card with you. Get it out and read several times a day for 90 days. Don’t miss a day.

4.  Say ‘thank you’ all the time. To everyone for any little thing.  Express your appreciation for everything.

5. Do one small nurturing thing for yourself every day. It might be that you start reading a book. Maybe going to bed half an hour earlier. Perhaps enjoying a massage.

6.  Un-clutter your living space. Tidy it all up and keep it that way. Give away anything you haven’t touched or looked at in a year. Then go out and buy yourself a smart new piece of clothing!

7. Deal to just one unresolved issue in your life. Give it a deadline and do it. Negotiate an outcome that is pretty close to your ideal result.

8. Make a rock solid decision to walk away from toxic conflict. Let go your competitive tendencies and see every moment as a wonderful opportunity to be creative or find a creative solutions.

9.  Make sure you have the support of just one close friend and ally.  Someone you trust, feel comfortable with and can have fun with. Share your dreams and goals with your buddy.

10. Set out to read one good book a month. Something that encourages you, educates you, inspires you, enthuses you! (Enthusiasm is a sign that you are on the right track.)

If you take on board just one or two of these ideas, there’s no way your life will remain the same! Please don’t be fooled by the simplicity of these suggestions because what you think is what you'll get!
