Self-image is how you see yourself and what you believe others think of you. When you think lowly of yourself, your self-esteem will also be low. When you have high self-esteem you will be full of confidence and self-respect. How can you transform your personality and belief to a positive self-image? One of the ways is to employ autosuggestion
What is autosuggestion?
Autosuggestion is to conceive positive thoughts in our subconscious mind until it becomes a good habit. Autosuggestion is effective in the realm of feelings and emotions. When our feelings are influenced by our autosuggestion so are our actions.
Practical application of autosuggestion
Emile Coue, a famous psychologist from France
” Every day and in every way, I am getting better and better.” It is a good formula but it is not specific. Let’s say you want to be happy, this is my suggested formula:
Every morning I wake up to greet a new day with happiness and I stay happy throughout the whole day.
Another example of self-esteem:
I love myself as I am. I feel good about myself and I am happy
In order for autosuggestion to be effective take note of the following points:
- Repeat the words to yourself before you go to sleep and several times during the day.
- Act and behave in accordance with your statement throughout the whole day.
- Structure the message in affirmation
- Start the statement with ‘I’.
- It takes at least 21 days for a new image to be formed. You have to be patient
- The best autosuggestion is a statement created by you for your own use and benefits.
Use autosuggestion to change your self-image for the better.
