We are what we think we are

Psychologists tell us that we are what we think ourselves to be. Our self-image defines for us what we believe we can and cannot do. Each of us over the years has built up beliefs about ourselves. Unconsciously, our pictures of who we are have been formed by past experiences. Our successes and failures, what others have told us and what we think people believe about us all help form impressions of who we think we are. Because self-image is so important in our growth, it is important to examine our concepts of self in order to reach our full potential.
A danger is that we often accept as true the wrong images of self. An example is a student who sees himself as “poor in English.” He can be heard to say, wholesale replica designer handbags, “Oh, I’ve never been good im English classes.” Chances are the student failed in an English test at one time in the past. Tether than saying “I failed a test; what can I learn from it?” he began thinking, “I’m a failure; I’ll never do well in English.” Or, perhaps his grades. These are ways that poor self-images develop. I’m this case the student became what he thought he was.
Changing our self-image is possible. Some psychologists suggest we begin to change our self-image by mentally picturing ourselves performing well at some task. Since we presently react to things based on our present images, wholesale designer handbags, the suggestion is to replace those with better ones. In many experiments, people were asked to sit quietly for a few minutes each day and imagine them doing well at a test. For instance, subjects would sit and imagine themselves throwing darts at a bull’s-eye on a target. Over a period of weeks their dart game improved. This has been done with people who wanted to play chess better, throw a ball more accurately, increase their salesmanship or musical talents, and improve man other skills. In most cases, remarkable improvement is made. That “poor” English student might have found he was much better in the subject than the thought if he had tried seeing himself as a better student.
The point of changing self-image is not to develop an image of ourselves that is not real. To try to become something we really aren’t just as wrong as living the unrealistic, wholesale coach handbags, inferior image we may have. The aim is to find the “real” self, to bring our mental images of ourselves in line with our true potential. However, it is generally accepted among psychologists that most of us fail to do justice to ourselves. We’re usually better than we think we are.
