Creating a positive attitude and enlightened state of mind requires a healthy self-image. Beginning with the basics; explore the facets of your identity which is composed of the specific roles you play in life

Watch an inspiring video with Tony Robbins below

.The more specific roles that you identify yourself in, the more power you are feeding into your identity. Be more than just a Human Being, one of the flock. We are born as humans and are beings until we die.

We don’t have to do anything at all to maintain that identity—not a single thing. But to be successful in the personalities that we portray, we must see ourselves in those roles.

You are a man or a woman. You are a mother, father, brother, sister, artist, aunt, uncle, teacher, student. You are a leader. You portray many diverse and wonderful roles in life, so write them down—NOW! Take ownership of everything that you are!

Now, visualize the role you’d like to play, and then identify the character you need to portray, to succeed. In the bible, when Moses asked God who are you, he identified himself as the one called “I AM!”

Once you have accepted with certainty, your “I AM”, you will be able to create characters that will empower you. Having a clear, specific sense of your identity, is one of the keys to creating the positive self-image that will drive you to success!

This is a moving video from Tony Robbins, by the way, Happy 50th Birthday! “” Its Tonys 50th birthday and he has a special gift for you. Leave your comments.

Love thyself—the way you would desire someone else to

Key to how you feel about your identity is self-esteem. Whereas self-image is defined by a certainty of your identity, self-esteem is how you feel about yourself, based on your individual sense of personal worth and importance. Self-esteem is rooted, in the unconditional acceptance of yourself.

Since your self-esteem is a feeling, rather than a cut and dry inventory of assets, changing it, requires exploring the factors of your awareness that caused the feeling.

You must reprogram yourself to maintain an active observation of your behavior, thoughts, speech, needs, actions, emotional reactions, moods, and attitudes. Only then, can you make meaningful progress in expanding your awareness.

During this process of self-exploration, if you’re honest with yourself, and refuse to buy into self-blame, you will soon identify the negative beliefs and behaviors that are the source of low self-esteem. This will ensure that the characters you portray will be built on a foundation of high self-esteem.

People often blame their negative outcomes on low self-esteem. It has become the catch-all phrase in the blame game. “I have low self-esteem because of my lousy childhood.”,

“My parents told me I’d never be good enough, so I never will be.” People buy into that garbage, and allow it to be a stop. Inadequate self-esteem is basically a problem of awareness.

It results from a mind that has been programmed by false and distorted concepts, and has thus developed a lifestyle that feeds one’s feelings of inadequacy, futility, and sense of personal unworthiness.

Sticking with these distorted values, generates a desperate and compulsive need to be “better than,” a compulsion that is the root of our personal and social problems.

The following are significant factors of awareness that not only cause low self-esteem, but more importantly, a crippling sense of inadequacy, anxiety and frustration. Recognition and understanding, however, make it possible to eliminate these undesirable traits. Let’s shine a light on low self-esteem!

We feed low self-esteem by:

• Lack of FAITH in our environment, our society, and ourselves.
• Lacking a sense of purpose in life and thus, clear-cut goals and objectives to guide our actions.
• Depending on others for our sense of self-worth.
• Failing to accept complete responsibility for our life and outcomes.
• By not taking chances in our life and searching for enlightenment.
• Habitually feeding an addictive personality through self-indulgence and lack of awareness.
• By playing the victim and failing to recognize that you deserve to be successful.
• By requiring the “permission,” confirmation, and agreement of others before taking action.
• By allowing your inner critic to shut you down, indulging in self-blame, shame, guilt and remorse.
• Failing to develop our “I AM” personalities and taking responsibility for our actions.
• Not allowing ourselves to look at life with a sense of humor or getting in touch with our funny zone.
• By being overly critical of others.

It eventually comes back to you

What then, can you do? By recognizing that you are feeding your low self-esteem, using any of the ways that I just listed, you have already won half the battle.

You have made yourself AWARE, of the empowering changes that you need to make to better yourself, and your life! Congratulations!
