The Life-Changing Force of a Positive Self-Image | Dr. Rick Wallace

The Visionetics concept I developed and use at The Visionetics Institute was birthed from studying two individuals --- Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Guy Greenfield. Both Maltz and Greenfield focused heavily on the importance of the human self-image and the primary enforcer of human behavior. 

What Is Self-Image
Self-image is the personal view, or mental picture, that we have of ourselves. Self-image is an "internal dictionary" that describes the characteristics of the self, including such things as intelligent, beautiful, ugly, talented, selfish, and kind. These characteristics form a collective representation of our assets (strengths) and liabilities (weaknesses) as we see them. (The Cleveland Clinic)

A person's self-image is not inherent; you are not born with it; it is developed through experiences and observations. One of the most prominent influencers of an individual's self-image early in life is what Guy Greenfield called "label givers." According to Greenfield, you have primary and secondary label-givers. Your primary label-givers would be your parents, and your secondary label-givers are teachers, clergy, peers, etc. Children are very impressionable, and how parent refers to them can have lasting effects, which is one of the reasons I counsel parents to be very careful in how they address and refer to their children. Terms like stupid, dumb, lazy, inconsequential, and more can literally destroy any positive view a child may have of themselves. 

Why is protecting your self-image so important? It is essential to protect your self-image because it functions as the wall of limitations and restrictions that form the glass prison. This prison restricts your growth and capacity to perform. 

Your self-image can also be the driving force behind being a phenomenal performer in all aspects of your life. In short, your behavior, decisions, outcomes will be in direct correspondence with your self-image.

Fortunately, you can change your self-image. I have spent decades teaching people how to reconstruct their self-image literally. When working with clients, my goal is to enlarge their self-image --- to expand how they see themselves in the world. 

Please understand you will never outgrow the limitations you have imposed on yourself. You will have to deliberately replace those limitations with new beliefs. 

In my course, Crushing Limiting Beliefs, there are 15 lessons where I walk you through the process of visual creativity (Visionetics) to reconstruct your self-image literally. This is the beginning of expanding your capacity.
