Quick 'n' Easy Self-Image Makeover

Written by Rosella Aranda

How would you like to spruce up your self-image? You know, give your self-esteem a real boost? You are equipped to do so, you know. Please, allow me to show you a neat little trick that will jumpstart your self-image makeover.

Okay, ready? I want you to think of a big, mean dog. He’s baring his teeth and growling at you. He looks like he’s about to pounce on you. There’s nothing standing between you and him. Take your time and make him look as ferocious and dangerous as possible. Okay, stop! Forget about that dog for a moment.

Instead, I want you to picture a cute little puppy. Picture him clearly now. This little guy is as friendly as they come. He is wagging his tail and wiggling toward you, anxious for you to rub his belly and scratch his ears. Aw, isn’t that sweet?

Now, let’s look at what happened here. First you saw in your mind’s eye a vicious dog. I would bet that your mind furnished all sorts of details, such as color, size, type, etc. Your imagination didn’t need to be given instructions. It went to work automatically.

Now, how did you feel with this picture in your mind? Tense? Did you clench your jaw? Or perhaps your breathing became very shallow or stopped altogether for a few moments.

Then, when I instructed you to envision a friendly puppy, again your mind concocted all repparttar details. What was your reaction this time? Did you smile? Did you chuckle softly to yourself?

I’d like to point out two things. First, neither of those pictures existed anywhere in your immediate reality. They were both simply figments of your imagination. Nonetheless, repparttar 122835 images you created were no doubt vivid. And more importantly, your reactions, physical, psychological and emotional, were all quite real.

Second, you were able to switch mental pictures completely and what’s more, you did it in a flash. Exactly HOW did you accomplish this? Do you know? Well, I don’t know either, but that doesn’t alter repparttar 122836 fact that you are, indeed, capable of conjuring up whatever you want, whenever you want, complete with as many details as you want. This is quite an astonishing feat!

There’s no trick to it really. It’s just repparttar 122837 natural capacity of mind that you were born with. Can you believe that your mind has such phenomenal power? And you, and only you, have repparttar 122838 final say as to which pictures you allow to linger in your mind. You control repparttar 122839 master switch!

Once we start to appreciate repparttar 122840 tremendous power of our own minds, then it becomes much easier to put forth whatever effort is necessary to feed it repparttar 122841 messages WE choose rather than society’s insinuations of our inferiority. Can you see how powerful this mental imagery can be in boosting your self-esteem?

TIME MANAGEMENT

With repparttar creation of repparttar 122834 universe, God gave humankind a miraculous gift. A wonderful gift which cannot be seen or touched but without which there will be no meaning in life. In fact without which it would be difficult to imagine life. It is time!

God being kind and just gave this to all of us in equal quantity. He knew that some of His children would be wasteful. So He gave it in such a way that they would not be able to waste all of it. He assured a continuous and fresh supply of it. Each day He gives us a fresh supply of twenty four hours or 1440 minutes or 86,400 seconds per day to each of us—poor or rich, good or bad, man or woman.

We may have handicaps of education, money, and connections. But we are not handicapped by time. It is given equally to all. It is repparttar 122835 most important ingredient in success. Use your time wisely and nobody can stop you from succeeding.

Time management is repparttar 122836 key to keeping your New Year Resolutions.

How to use time wisely? Of course, by managing it wisely. Here are a few tips to manage your time.

1.Eliminate Big Chunks of Wastage of Time: We are usually Pound Foolish, Penny Wise. We jump red light to save a fraction of second but before that we might have already wasted hours in some useless activity. There are big chunks of time which we usually waste—sleeping long hours, wasting time in front of TV, gossiping, in drinking and dining parties, etc. If you spend two hours each way in commuting to office, you have to find some solution to it. Either change office or residence or utilize repparttar 122837 commuting time in reading (if traveling by bus or metro) or listening to useful audios. 2.Eliminate Wastage of Time on Irrelevant Activities: We are usually not focused in our life. Not only we should have a single goal in life but all our efforts and time should be directed towards it. If you want to write a book, not only you have to eliminate big chunks of wastage of time, but you should also avoid irrelevant activities such as, may be, a side business, politics, and involvement in activities of various social activities which may be good in themselves. 3.Plan your Time: Planning is very important for time management. One obvious benefit is that as you would never put in your plan items of big chunks of wastage of time and irrelevant activities, they would be eliminated automatically! Write down your daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and may be even more long term plans. 4.Write To-Do Lists: To-do lists not only are useful as reminders, they also compel one to complete repparttar 122838 listed work. If you have written an item, say, ‘to telephone Mr. X’ and also written his telephone number against it, you are very likely to telephone him that day. There is a great pleasure in ticking off completed items from such list!
