self image

DEFINITION

It is of primary importance to create and maintain a self-image that is:

• Considerate

• Content

• Honest

• Positive

• Realistic

• Reviewable

• Thoughtful

• Modifiable

We can adapt, change, and modify our self-image throughout our life.

 

Some positive traits:

1. Sattvic.

2. Considerate.

3. Respectful.

4. Worthy.

5. Realistic.

6. Practical.

7. Loving.

8. Compassionate.

9. Forgiving.

10. Open to learning.

11. Appreciative.

12. Logical and reasonable.

13. Temperate .

14. Harmless.

15. Integrated.

16. Balanced.

17. Honest, firm, and fair.

18. Fond.

19. Kind.

20. Caring.

21. Healthy.

22. Challenging and critical where necessary.

Life follows the law of "As within, so without." If we fail to nurture these positive, sattvic, and life-enhancing qualities on the inside, then how do we expect them to manifest in our lives? We cannot be dependent upon others to supply us with our inner self - we need to do this ourselves - and this is work well worth doing.

It is very destructive to maintain an unnecessarily negative and unkind relationship with ourselves, sadly this seems to be a problem that many people suffer from - and it is not necessary to be stuck with this problem. We can overcome this neurotic (irrational) self-dislike and this is one of the first steps in any course of self-development.
