What does that mean?
Your self image is literally how you see yourself. If you have a bad view of yourself, you're more likely to think that others see you the same way.
As I've said before in other posts, if you think of yourself as ugly, when someone looks at you, you might think they think you're ugly too, whereas they may be thinking the exact opposite.
There are many things you can do to improve your self image. But first, you need to work out what is it that makes you feel bad about yourself.
Is it your physical appearance that you don't like? Do you feel you are too fat, too thin, not good looking, hairy? Whatever it is that bothers you, see what you can do to change it. If it's an exercise related issue, do more exercise (Yoga, Pilates, running, swimming, tennis). Whatever it is, do something that makes you feel good. The obvious health benefits also speak for themselves. Getting regular exercise releases endorphins into the body that help it cope with the rigours of the exercise itself, but these endorphins make you feel great. Almost to the point that exercising becomes addictive and you just want to do more.
And guess what happens to your self image? It improves. If it's a weight related issue, exercise will help shed pounds (not all exercise is extreme, things like Yoga and Pilates are very low impact but can have huge benefits), if you're too thin, exercising (and maybe working with a personal trainer) will mean that your body requires more nutrients, so you may find yourself eating more healthily. If it's a skin issue, sometimes eating more healthily, in conjunction with exercise releases toxins that may have been causing the issue.
I understand that some issues are much more complex than this, but it's also true that sometimes, simply taking action can make a huge difference to your lifestyle.
Why not give it a try?
