Many people believe that a person’s self-image is an internal belief that rarely affects anything in the physical world. Unfortunately, that’s not true at all. In fact, a negative self-image can wreck havoc any success you may have in life, draining you of your wealth and happiness. However, one of the ways to become worthy of the success and happiness we want is to give ourselves an ‘image makeover’.<\/p>\n

Your Self-Image Shapes You<\/h2>\n

If self-image comes down to clothes, getting into shape, material symbols \u2014 so be it. To each his own.\u00a0 After all, \u201cdressing for success\u201d to the president of a surfboard company may be vastly different than dressing for success to a banker. The images that both surfer and banker hold in their mind, their dress code, is how they perceive themselves. It’s their self-image. Furthermore, this perception is going to determine their arena in money more than anything else.<\/p>\n

The image we often want to project is one of somebody who deserves to be a partner in a lucrative joint venture. Other times we want to project someone who is confident enough in themselves to understand they don\u2019t know everything, nor do they have to, but they are fast learners who have their own unique value to bring to the table. Regardless of what<\/em> you want to have as your image, the bigger question is usually\u00a0how to do it<\/em>.<\/p>\n

How to Improve Your Self-Image<\/h3>\n

There are simple ways in which we can improve our self-image. If you want to improve your self-image, embrace these universal truths:<\/p>\n

1. Stop Beating Yourself Up!<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is one of those rules like not complaining. There\u2019s no room for self-criticism. Think of it this way: If you really cared about somebody, how would you treat them? How would you talk to them? What kind of tone of voice would you use? While we treat others kindly, in comparison we usually treat ourselves like trash. True or true?<\/p>\n

You want to catch self-criticism and immediately transfer that to an encouragement.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have the confidence, you\u2019ll never take actions. What kind of life can you live if you don\u2019t trust or encourage yourself? Therefore, become your own best friend! Be nice to yourself! If you\u2019re not going to love yourself, then who is? Nobody can love you until you love you! Until then, you\u2019re ripping them off.<\/p>\n

No complaining, no self-criticizing. These are ironclad rules for happiness and success.<\/p>\n

2. Practice Receiving<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When given a compliment, most people go, \u201cOh it was nothing.\u201d Instead of this response, how about from now on we simply say, \u201cThank you!\u201d<\/p>\n

So many people diminish their own significance, even when others want to give them worth. By down-playing a compliment, you\u2019re essentially telling the person giving the compliment that (A) You don\u2019t believe them, and\/or (B) You don\u2019t believe you deserve to be complimented. So what does the universe do? It responds to what you put out there. If you believe you don’t deserve to be complimented, the compliments will get scarcer. Then, you’ll criticize yourself more, and the whole insane cycle starts again.<\/p>\n

To paraphrase Mandela, you do no one a service by diminishing your own light. Quite the opposite: You give others permission to let their light shine by being that example. Receive compliments, accolades, praise \u2014 and yes, even criticism \u2014 with an open heart. You\u2019d be amazed at how that translates to receiving more money for the value you bring to the market and to others.<\/p>\n

Image IS everything\u2026and its nothing. It’s a classic Zen paradox. Of course, people are going to respond to how we look\u2026we don\u2019t need too many primers on that. However, we need to look at ourselves as people who are competent in what we do, have value to give, and deserve to be rewarded for it. The money you \u201cdeserve\u201d is a choice in life just like anything else. You choose what you receive through what you do. It\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n

Now we want to hear from you. What are some ways \u2014 traditional or spiritual \u2014 that people can improve their self-image in any arena of life? It\u2019s all an integrated whole, and then poor self-image in one area will undercut any other progress. So let\u2019s close those gaps and enjoy the fruits of the Millionaire Mind!<\/strong><\/p>\n
