Shifting Self-Image

I want to talk about self-image today as it’s the foundation of our personality. It shapes how we think, behave, and respond in different situations. Have you ever found yourself knowing exactly what to say or do, yet holding back? The words are there, but they just won’t come out. You’re left wondering, Why is this happening? The answer lies in your self-image.

Self-image is simple, but it is so powerful that it can make or break you. At its core, your self-image is the perception you hold of yourself. Who do you believe you are? What are your values and beliefs about yourself? Do you see yourself as confident, intelligent, or capable? Or do you struggle to align your actions with the person you want to be?

Self-image is how you define yourself.

The way you define yourself internally is what you project externally. This is why your self-image has such a profound impact on your life.

To build a stronger, more empowering self-image, you first need to understand the beliefs you currently hold about yourself. Let’s begin by taking the first step.

So, take out your journal and start exploring yourself.

Here are 10 powerful prompts that will help you understand what your current self-image is for yourself.

1. Do I speak kindly to myself, or am I overly critical?

2. What do I believe I deserve in life, and why?

3. What stories from my past influence how I see myself today?

4. What does success mean to me, and do I see myself as successful?

5. Are my goals aligned with the person I believe I am?

6. How do I react when I make a mistake?

7. What kind of person do I aspire to be, and do I believe I can become that person?

8. If someone asked me to describe myself in 3 sentences, what would I say?

9. How do I treat myself on tough days versus good days?

10. What limiting beliefs do I need to let go of to grow?
