Self-image

Self-image is the way a person perceives his or her own person, appearance, capabilities, features and place in the world.

Definition

Self-image influences decisions, relationships, boundaries and readiness to act. It may be supportive, distorted, too harsh, or built on past experiences that no longer describe the current reality. Working with self-image is about updating the map, not about forcing artificial certainty.

Practice and life

Write down three sentences that you often think about yourself, and support each one with facts: what confirms them and what contradicts them.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to treat self-image as an objective fact. The second mistake is to build it solely on other people's assessments.
