Self Image vs Self Esteem, A lesson in Speed…

So you want to... FEEL Better about yourself?

Here is one way to LOOK at it
From a pure physics PERSPECTIVE.
(This is also the internal process to actually go out and do something externally.)
V-isual travels at the speed of light. (186,000 miles per second) 2nd fastest
A-uditory travels at the speed of sound (average 1100 ft/sec) Slowest
K-inesthetic travels at the speed of now
(faster than the speed of light) fastest
Self Respect is made up of Self-Image and Self Esteem.
Depending on the level of low to high Image or Esteem determines the kinesthetic feeling.
(The process of dissociation and association when done to the 100% of each on the same information removes all spin.
SEE Drill #5 in the
Fundamentals of Mental Fitness Mastery for how to do the process.)

Self Image is VISUAL and travels at the speed of light.
Self Esteem is auditory and travels at the speed of sound.
Affirmations are primarily an auditory function. The kinesthetic and visual can be added it. But it requires constant repetition.

Self Image usually PICTURES the future and possible the present. (Because of speed)
Self Esteem usually talks about the past and is carried into the present. (Because of speed)

Affirmations are used primarily to build self-esteem and I suggest this is the slowest form of change. Because even if done at alpha/theta which is 1000x more effective than at Beta it still takes a while to counter act all the self-talk that goes on all the time.

There is a faster way to counter act or improve or change self-talk.
I propose the answer to Self Respect and Self Esteem is High Constant Self Image.

The problem is that most of us are lost and don't know we are.

Test: Make a PICTURE in your head of the following:
a tree          a rainbow       living
room            dog             jacks
When you looked at these things did you SEE a PICTURE of yourself in the PICTURE?
Maybe as an overlay or as an observer totally curious and yet
completely detached from the event. (This is important because you can even be present in less than useful or negative PICTURES this way).

Now go back and PICTURE the words again and NOTICE the difference.
When a child is lost or missing here in the states the way to get the information out and to the broadest number of people is through PICTURES pasted on everything (milk cartoons, billboards, telephone polls, TV, etc.)

PICTURES move faster than word of mouth.
It may be time to do the same for ourselves.
(SEE Drill #7 in the Fundamentals of Mental Fitness Mastery for how to do the process.)

When you have a PICTURE of yourself in every PICTURE in your head. The evidence is overwhelming and self-esteem will naturally follow suit.
It can't help it. Because by the time the speed of sound catches up to the speed of light the speed of now is already present and you will be more congruent.

When you walk into a room using Self-Image, no matter what anyone says or
does it is to slow. If you are using self-esteem and it was high self-esteem it would only take one or two less than useful comments to lower it.

As My Grampa Vetter used to say, “NOTICE -don't narrow and you will expand!
Your PERCEPTION is always either expanding or contracting.”
