10 Steps to Build Your Self-Image – Day 2

by | Jun 3, 2019 | Life Spark Mentoring

3. Move Beyond Your Limiting Beliefs.

We all have some limiting beliefs. Some of them were given to us by our parents, our environment, and experiences. We often add our own limiting beliefs to this list. I have developed a habit of paying attention to my thoughts, my words, and actions that may display my limiting beliefs. I also listen to feedback from friends.

Author Jack Canfield offers a solution to self-limiting thinking. In his book, The Success Principles, he recommends the following four steps to transform limiting beliefs into empowering beliefs.

              Identify a limiting belief that you want to change.

Determine how the belief limits you.

Decide how you want to be, act, or feel.

Create a turnaround statement that affirms or gives you permission to be, act, or feel this way?

Make it a habit of repeating the turnaround statement daily. Remember that our thoughts influence our actions. Our actions do also influence our thoughts.

4. Add Value to Others

Use this quote as a simple reminder, “It’s hard to feel bad about yourself when you’re doing something good for someone else.” John C. Maxwell

The Law of the Mirror – 10 Steps to Build Your Self-Image

by | Jun 2, 2019 | Life Spark Mentoring

I have decided to go over “The Law of the Mirror” again. This law states, “You must see value in yourself to add value to yourself.” This statement is so powerful. When a person doesn’t value himself, it’s hard for him to want to add value to others. When you work with people (young and old), it’s important for them to know that you value them and you want to add value to them.

John Maxwell says it this way, “The value we place on ourselves is usually the value others place on us.” What value do you put on yourself? He shares 10 steps you can use to build your self-image. I will share them 2 at a time so you can digest them slowly.

  1. Guard Your Self-Talk

You are constantly communicating with yourself. You sometimes do it in your sleep or in your sub-conscience. Are you telling yourself positive things? Or are you beating yourself down? Children grow up getting 30 nos for every yes they receive.  Few years ago, I interviewed a successful business who was working on a business that he knew that was going to be worth 2 billion dollars. He told me that, “Illens, I love it when people tell me I can’t do it. That makes me want to do it so badly.” Not only we have the world around us whispering in our ears (sometimes even screaming) we can’t do it, you also add your own negative self-talks. Do you take time to encourage yourself? Do you take time to compliment yourself? Practice positive self-talk. I am excellent. I am happy. I can do it.

  • Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

I discovered a secret long time ago. Here it is. We are all in the middle. I will let you dissect this simple statement. The moment you start spending time comparing yourself to others, you allow yourself to be distracted. By the way when you are you on the growth journey, you are not too concerned about who is ahead of you and who is behind you. When you are stagnant, you have a lot of times to check the line.

It’s only a weak mind and a fainted heart that constantly lives on the comparison planet.

I am excited about the opportunity to learn and grow with you this month. If you have a friend that wants to grow, feel free to invite that person to join Life Spark Mentoring. People who love to grow have an abundance mindset. They enjoy taking someone with them on their growth journey.

In May we covered the first five laws of The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth. Here is a short recap of these laws.

1. The Law of Intentionality: Growth Doesn’t Just Happen

2. The Law of Awareness: You Must Know Yourself to Grow Yourself

3. The Law of the Mirror: You Must See Value in Yourself to Add Value to Yourself

4. The Law of Reflection: Learning to Pause Allows Growth to Catch Up with You

5. The Law of Consistency: Motivation Gets You Going—Discipline Keeps You Growing

Which one of these five laws pauses a greater challenge to you? What are you doing to overcome this challenge?
