A Checklist: Poor Self-image Behavior

"Mirror. mirror on the wall,

who is the fairest of them all?"

                     (From Cinderella)  

Dr Abe V Rotor

Our self-image may not be the same as our public image. Rightly so, we are being criticized for our behavior we project and perceived by people.

It is a constant struggle actually. It's not only putting our best foot forward; it is also stepping back to clear our doubts and to amend for our wrongdoings.  And re-set the stage we play our role. Building self-image requires planning, and the principal determinant is our behavior.  

The following behavior traits are evidence that there is room for improvement in our self-image:

• Negative talk about ourselves 
• Experiencing guilt.
• Failure to give compliments
• Non- acceptance of compliments
• Not asking for what we want.
• Starving ourselves of luxuries unnecessarily.
• Failure to give affection.
• Inability to receive and enjoy affection 
• Criticism of others. 
• Comparison of ourselves with others. 
• Constant poor health. 

There are no hard rules in this checklist. Post this list in your bedroom next to a mirror as a daily reminder. Remember, "Your beliefs don't make you a better person. Your behavior does." (Anonymous) ~
