DEFINING

• What is Self Image?

• What is Self Esteem?

Maslow's Hiearchy of Needs

• Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in Psychological Review. Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity.

4 Ways of Improving Self Esteem

• The Girl In the Mirror

• Break Free

• Just TRASH IT!

• Embrace Your Worth (The Coconut Oil Effect)

The Girl in the Mirror

• Adopting "stinking thinking”

• What they say becomes what you think and see about yourself

• What you become is not always who you are or even desire to be

Break Free

• You must retrain your thoughts and words by creating a different mental picture of who you are

• Who you are is not limited to those negative perceptions

• Who you are is much bigger than your mistakes

• Break free from the chains of your old mindset and realign your image to become a healthier you

Just TRASH IT!

• Holding on to waste has consequences

• Choose to dispose of unwanted junk

• Collect new positive elements in your life (create connections with mentors, partners, and/or supporters)

Embrace Your Worth

EMBRACE that YOU:

• Are beautifully and wonderfully created (unique)

• Have something to offer the world (around you)

• Must respect and appreciate your value and do not give others permission to diminish it

• Possess unlimited potential to achieve greater success in every area of your life..."Because You Are Worth It!"
