Self-Image And Your Four Bodies: Warrior Mind Podcast #169
This Warrior Mind Podcast is based on the post “Self-Image and Personal Success.”
The purpose of this Warrior Mind Podcast is to convince you that your self-image is the cornerstone of your success and peak performance.
It has been overwhelmingly established that people who expect to succeed at a given endeavor are more likely to do so than those who expect to fail. Positive expectations work as a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy – those who expect to succeed are more likely to do so, thus maintaining and reinforcing their expectation for success.
The expectations we have for ourselves are largely determined by our self-image. The opinion you have of yourself directly impacts your expectations and consequently your chances for success in any undertaking.
Your self-image doesn’t describe you, it creates you.
A person’s self-image is the mental picture, generally of a kind that is quite resistant to change, that depicts not only details that are potentially available to objective investigation by others (height, weight, hair color, sex, I.Q. score, is this person double-jointed, etc.), but also items that have been learned by that person about himself or herself, either from personal experience or by internalizing the judgments of others.
Body image (self-image) is the mental picture you have of your body – what it looks like, what you believe about it, and how you feel about your body. Self-esteem is the “real” opinion you have of yourself. How you value and respect yourself as a person. Your self-esteem has a direct effect on how you take care of yourself, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Self-esteem and body image also exert influences on each other – it is hard to feel good about yourself if you hate your body!

The self-image is the foundation of everything in life. We all always act and think in consistency with our self-image or identity. Everything you do, think and feel is based on how you see yourself.
The self-image is your own conception of “The person I am.” It is built from your beliefs about yourself. Our subconscious mind does not question the validity of our self-image but proceeds to act upon it just as if it were true. The self-image creates individual reality regardless of how accurate it is.
Your self-image defines and limits your potential. What you need to do is build your self-image so that you expand from your current self-imposed limitations. By expanding your self-image, you expand the limits of your talents and capabilities.
Expanding your self-image expands your personal field of possibilities. If you don’t think you really deserve love, success and abundance then you usually don’t take the risks necessary to create it. And, if it falls in your lap, you often sabotage it because reality doesn’t match your internal self-image.
