Healthy Self Image

It is very important that one has a healthy self image. In this world, people take you according to your estimation of yourself, so if you happen to have a proper self image of oneself, people will look up it you. On the other hand if you happen to have a condescending view of yourself, people will not take you seriously. Thus, it is very important that one cultivate a healthy self image in one’s life, the world measures an individual according to his worth of himself. In order to cultivate a positive self image, an individual should be true to oneself and be honest about his strengths and weakness. One cannot cultivate a positive self-image by practicing deception with oneself. One must also learn to love oneself and understand the fact that having high self esteem does not mean that one is self confident. An individual should at no point of time depreciate one’s self worth. One should understand that it is not from external factors that one cultivates his self worth but it is the result of deep introspection and contemplation that one’s self worth is formed. Vishwas once again falls back on his theory of relating the individual to the cosmos saying that the human body is made in the image of the universe thus all of us are powerful entities. He also points out to the fact that the human brain is infinitely more advanced than any super computer on planet earth because it is the former which has created the later. An individual must learn to utilize as much potential as he can extract from his brain. Vishwas not only preaches the positive values of a healthy self-image but also tells us how to build a positive self-image. He makes a list of some points that will help us to create a self-image that is attractive and charismatic. The rules are as basic as maintaining personal hygiene, eliminating bad breath as well as more advanced tips like practicing the mirror technique. Vishwas goes on to elucidate other aspects of building a positive self image like developing physical and mental magnetism as well as writing about more philosophical concepts like “picking diamonds from coal”. The author also writes about the causes of poor self image that bogs down most people. He also says that people should be able to distinguish between positive criticism and outright insult.
