When building your profitable practice, not only do you want to have self-worth, but you also want to have a positive self-image. There’s a lot you can accomplish by having a positive self-image. Your confidence will increase, which means that you can deal with more situations. People will respond to your increased self-image in a positive way as well.
The first step to increasing your self-image is to know yourself
First, know thyself. You need to understand your capabilities and skills. You also want to determine weaknesses too so that you can improve upon them. But don’t beat yourself up too much when you identify these weaknesses. Weaknesses can easily be turned into strengths if you work at them long enough.
Determine what aspects about you are important to change and concentrate on those
There are many aspects that you are not that concerned with and won’t have much effect on your self-image. Ignore those. You can’t and shouldn’t change every aspect of yourself. Sometimes you should just except those aspects of your personality and move on.
You need to be willing to change
If you don’t feel good about yourself, you have to make changes to turn that around. Change is never easy, but when it comes to increasing your self-image, you will see that it’s worth the effort. You can seek out an image consultant to help if you are struggling with doing this yourself. An image consultant is trained in helping people increase their self-image. It can be humbling to hear what the consultant advises, but this is part of the process, and you should embrace it. Don’t be afraid to spend some money for a decent consultant. The results they provide will pay for itself. Keep in mind that no matter what kind of help you get, this is your journey, or change.
Don’t worry about what others may believe and stop comparing yourself to other people
They don’t have to live your life. You are the one that has to live with the consequences of your new image, both bad and good. Although, try to emphasize only the good whenever possible. When your self-image improves, just about every aspect of your life will follow. You will have better relationships at home and at work. You will have a positive attitude. Tasks will seem less challenging, partly because people will become be more willing to pitch in to help you accomplish them. They will feed off your positive energy and want to be around you more often.
This may open opportunities for you that you never thought you would have at your disposal.
