Self-Image

News
I''ll be conducting a self-image workshop on Saturday, April 7th from 11:30am - 1:00pm.
The location will be The Wolfhound Pub. (http://www.wolfhoundpub.com/)

Your self-image controls what you can and can not do, be, or have in life. If you have set goals and are struggling to achieve them then you need to take a look at your self-image. If you have no goals, then taking a look at your self-image can help you gain clarity on choosing goals.

I will share my story with you of how I went from a very shy person scared to even speak up in a small group, to being able stand up in front of audiences of 100+ people and deliver multi-hour long workshops/training.

If you would like to earn more money, do you see yourself as the person capable of earning more money?
If you would like to be healthier, do you see yourself as healthy?
If you would like to have a great relationship, are you the person capable of it?

If the answer is no to any of those questions then it doesn't matter how many goals you set, you will constantly fall short.

If you change your self-image, you will literally change all areas of your life.

Come join us and learn how to start changing your self-image to be in line with the life you desire.

The fee for the workshop is 20,000 won***. However, if you pay by Monday, March 26th the fee will only be 10,000 won.

***Because the owners of The Wolfhound were gracious enough to allow us to use their space, all participants are expected to purchase something (food and/or drink) from the menu.***

My Thoughts
How do you see yourself? The words and roles you use to describe yourself will often cause you to be confined to those descriptions.

What do I mean?

Well if you describe yourself as shy, nervous, weak, etc... then how will you act? Just like your descriptions. If we look a little deeper at roles, if you describe yourself as a student, teacher, employee, etc... then how will you act? You will tend to fulfill whatever expectations society has of those roles.

Did you ever notice that sometimes you can guess what someone does for a living by looking at them? Sometimes you can guess if someone is a professor, a soldier, a student, etc... Why? Because they fit what we think (or society has taught us) those people should look like. People that are really good at reading people (like some of my former coworkers in the defense industry) can tell what someone does for a living with almost 100% accuracy just by looking at them.

Think about these two distinctions: an employee vs. a business partner. If you say you are an employee you probably do what's expected of an employee. For example: Wait around until someone tells you to do something. If you say you are a business partner you will probably take a more proactive approach to solving problems.

Another example: Would you like to earn a million dollars? Do you have the self-image of a millionaire? Are you doing the things that a millionaire would do with his/her time?

Your self-image rules every area of your life.

I have completely changed in every area of my life over the last ten years and it all came about when I started to change my self-image.

I encourage you to take a look at the words you use to describe yourself and start altering those descriptions to fit with what you desire. Of course it's not only about changing the words you use, their are some other steps involved, but it starts with that.

Have an awesome week.
