Self-Image Mastery Workbook - Paperback

by Janine Conway (Author)

WHO DO YOU SEE? What you see when you look in the mirror is not just your outward appearance. Every day you make judgements about yourself - good and bad. What you think of yourself shows up on the outside as a reflection of who you truly believe you are.That's a powerful revelation Do you sometimes feel like whatever you do, you just can't change? Perhaps you are crippled by doubts about your self-worth. Maybe you are a slave to perfectionism. You may even feel like a fraud because on the outside you look like you "have it all" but you struggle with feelings of unworthiness and obsess over whether you are good enough. You might habitually compare yourself to others, keeping a scoreboard against yourself. Maybe you deliberately under achieve, when you know you are capable of doing better... self-sabotaging at every turn. Just when things start to look up, you seem to purposely derail yourself.Your self-image, formed before you were even aware of it, can either work with you - towards positive progress and change - or it may constantly work against you and keep you...Feeling STUCK.Feeling like you are not NOT ENOUGH.Feeling UNWORTHY.Feeling ILL-EQUIPPED.So what do you do?First, know you are not alone. Everyone struggles with self-image issues in at least some areas, even the most successful people you know.Second, you are not powerless - you have the capacity to change - even if it does not feel like it sometimes.Third, it is possible to change and it's certainly a battle worth fighting. As Emerson said, "Of what use to make heroic vows of amendment if the same old lawbreaker is to keep them" Our current self image, the same old lawbreaker, wants to keep us exactly where we are... so a true change in our self image is big work. Probably the most significant work we can take part in if we really want lasting change.YOU CAN NEVER OUTPERFORM YOUR OWN SELF IMAGEMaxwell Maltz's pioneering work in Self Image Psychology 60 years ago may be one of the most important, practical and powerful advances in understanding why most people don't get the results in life they truly deserve. As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Maltz realized that changing a patient's physical appearance didn't always change the way that person saw themselves. He concluded that we all hold an inner image of ourselves - an image made up of a mass of acquired beliefs, positions and perceptions about ourselves and the world, and also our ability to interact with that world and everyone in it. He realized that these ideas that we hold about ourselves and how successful we are supposed to be control every aspect of our life. And he realized this undeniable truth: "Our self-image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become."In his phenomenally successful book, Psycho Cybernetics, which has sold over 30 million copies, Dr. Maltz laid out his concept of the self-image and the regulating effect it has on our perceptions, our feelings, our behavior, and ultimately our results. In the same way that a thermostat controls the temperature of a room, the self-image controls the temperature of your life.This image is so powerful, that even strong willpower can't over power its effects on your life for very long. The only way you can set yourself free is "Self-Image Re-Engineering."You'll begin that process with our in-depth study of Dr. Maltz's book Psycho-Cybernetics and this workbook contains the exercises and visualizations that will help YOU take your life to the next level You can find the companion course at http: //JJConway.Teachable.com
