Now let's talk about your self image. How can you improve your self image so that you can become comfortable in your own skin. Because if you're interacting with someone, you're in a social situation or any other situation, and you try to think about how you look. And if you're not comfortable with that, you want to become confident. So what you want to do here is to really helps you become comfortable in your own skin. So I call it the mirror exercise.
So I want to encourage you to do is don't do that at work. You go home, and then you are fully naked in front of the mirror. Maybe it's better to close the door. You go you close the door, and you are fully naked in front of the mirror. Now I would like you to just have a honest look at yourself. Because the boy that you are seeing is how you look right now.
And just accept yourself. Just look at yourself. Take time, just Look at yourself, and maybe you you will start becoming a little bit uncomfortable. Because there are things that you don't like about yourself. Just don't focus on that now just experience yourself. So the first question that you can ask yourself is, what do you like about yourself?
Remember, it's always about the perception about the focus. So what you want to do here is to find at least three things that you like about yourself. Do you like your eyes? Do you like your muscles? Do you like your legs? Do you like to face Do you like your hair?
What do you like? So he'll, what do you like about yourself? and really take time to just appreciate the things that you like. Then the second question is, What don't you like about yourself, but you can improve. Let's say that while you are in front of this newer, you say, Oh, I don't like my hair. I don't like that I'm overweight.
Wait, I don't like that. And you just try to find things that you don't like about yourself. But that you can improve. You could lose weight, you could have a better haircut, these are things that you can improve. So the idea here is to find three things physically, that you don't like about yourself, and that you can improve. And then the idea is to take action on that.
They say that you don't like you here. You can call your hairdresser right now and book an appointment. Let's say that you want to lose a little bit of weight or you want to lose a few kilos, a few, a few pounds. What you should do is write down the next three actions that you will take that you are committed to taking to lose weight. Is it to join a gym? Is it to buy a book on how to cook healthy food?
What are the things That you can do that the actions that you can take in order to become more at ease with the things that you don't like about yourself, but that you can improve, find them and then create an action plan that can act on them. And the third question is, What don't you like about yourself, and you can't improve? Let's say that you don't like the shape of you know, there is something that you don't like about yourself, and that you can't improve. Then what you should do his accent, because there is no point living your life and not accepting the things that you can't improve in yourself. Because let's say that you don't like the shape of your nose. There is no point of relieving your life and being in social situations and always say, Oh my god, Will people notice my nose and be all stressed and not confident?
There is no point if there is something that you can change, you see if it's something that you can't change, just accept it. And if people are making fun of you on the things that you don't like and that you can't improve, it's because you haven't accepted them. Because as because the moment that you accept them, the portal which starts when we stop making fun of you on that stings, so it can really impact you. And you can see here with this exercise here, we are valuing yourself, we are improving the things that can improve and we are accepting the things that you can improve. So you can see here that you are creating a better version of yourself, you are creating a really powerful image about yourself. And you will see even if you say yes, but I'm, I'm overweight, I don't have enough muscles right now.
The fact that you will be taking action to get them you will fluctuate so it does not really matter now that you don't have the results that you want to you don't you don't have the weight that you want now, the fact that you will be taking these action, you will start feeling good in between build your confidence. The second exercise I would like to give you here, it's about compliments. I would like you every morning to give yourself three complements and hug yourself. What? Hug myself It's weird. No is that when you hug someone?
How does the other person feel? The other person feel great, and love. When When is the last time that you hug yourself? Maybe never. So what I encourage you to do is every day you go in front of the mirror and you give yourself three compliments. You don't start with Oh my God, my hair is awful.
Oh my god, I have an awful face dot tattle is that. What you should start is by giving yourself three components to that in a moment. And then you just hug yourself for a few seconds. It feels great. It feels really amazing. And that's how you can increase your self image.
With this exercise, you're the mirror exercise, you compliment yourself and you hug yourself. That's it. You don't need anything else to change your self image. So do that right now. I encourage you to right now go in front of the mirror and do this exercise and make the habit commit to giving yourself the three compliments in the morning and to hug yourself.
