Self-image: Creating better impressions



As an image consultant, I regret to see people reeling from the burden of feeling that they are not good enough for others. This may actually stem from an overall lack of positive self-impression, which affects their body movements, language tone, or facial expressions. I say that to succeed and gain respect from others, people must improve the way they see themselves.

People who work on enhancing their self-image will undoubtedly feel better than before even as they face life’s challenges. This is because good self-esteem springs from positive self-image. They can make better decisions, encouraging others to think and work positively, too. Subsequently, confidence will follow suit.

With that note, how can individuals develop better self-image? Here are five points to consider based on this article:

1. Comparing oneself to others never helps boost one’s self-image.

2. Being a team player and getting along with others is a plus.

3. Getting involved in worthwhile activities helps one feel fulfilled.

4. Attending self-enhancement classes, joining workshops, or enrolling in career-advancement seminars gives one an edge.

5. Concentrating on the niceties of life and putting the negatives on the sidelines foster a positive attitude.

While there’s no smooth road to creating a good impression, there are several options to take, such as those listed above. As what one of Lou Habash’s philosophies puts it: Change is possible at the proper timing and with the right attitude.
