Tips to Create a New Adequate Self-Image Improve your body image Changing the pictures Create new experiences Changing your beliefs http://www.slideshare.net/licoreis/how-to-improve-your-self-image

Improve your body image You have to like yourself and avoid things that destroy your body. Is there something really wrong with your body? Or is it just a mental perception based on your unrealistic expectations.

Changing The Pictures You must change the picture you have been holding of yourself. You can “delete” those old images and “install” new ones. But first, you must identify where you have messed up.

Create New Experiences A poor personal perception of how you look saps your confidence. You can create new reference experience to give you the boost. You can take some kind of positive actions to bring about a different understanding.

Changing Your Beliefs Your beliefs determine the results and experiences in your life. So if you want to experience more joy, happiness or a better relationship you must believe that it is possible. You created your beliefs by internalizing emotions to your thoughts. You can change your present limiting belief by questioning its authenticity.
