Come with me as we talk about useful techniques and plans for changing your mind to be more successful.

Welcome to a trip of self discovery and empowerment. On this journey, you will learn how to take charge of your mental programming and set yourself up for success like never before. In medicine, it is said that a correct diagnosis is half the cure. With this in mind, let's analyze the three parts of your self concept, how they interact with each other and how you can act to modify or improve them in the way you want to develop the desired habits of thought or action.

The first part of your self concept is your ideal self. This is the ideal image you have of yourself as if you were already the best person you could be. Your ideal self is formed by your desires, hopes, dreams, goals and fantasies about your perfect future life combined with the qualities and virtues you most admire in yourself and in others. Your ideal self is a composite of the best person you imagine being and the best life you imagine living.

prosperous, successful and happy people have very clear and positive ideals of their personalities. They have well defined ideas of what they like, respect and admire, as well as a clear image of the virtues, values and attributes of superior men and women whom they wish to emulate. Successful people have an inspiring and stimulating vision of what a truly excellent person is like and how they behave.

Due to the Law of Attraction, it is inevitable that you will move in that direction until you become the person you most admire. The clearer you have the ideal future life you want to live and the ideal person you want to be. The sooner you will become that person and the more opportunities will present themselves to make that ideal future a reality.

In a study conducted several years ago, researchers discovered that many men and women who achieved great success were avid readers of biographies and autobiographies of successful people when they were young, it seems that we have a natural tendency to identify with the hero or heroine of any story we read or watch or hear. When you continuously immerse your mind in the stories of men and women who have achieved wonderful things in their lives, you are unconsciously identifying with those characters and absorbing their values, virtues and qualities into your own personality.

Dr. David McClellan, former professor at Harvard, in his book the Achieving Martin of Fine Books, 2010, explains how role models have a powerful effect on the formation of character and personality in young people. One of his conclusions is that the men and women who are most admired and serve as role models in society during a young person's formative years have a powerful influence on their character and aspirations as they grow into adulthood.

For example, today some of the most positive role models are entrepreneurs who launch companies with new products, services and technologies. Similarly, unsuccessful young people tend to have confused ideals or when asked what they believe are the most valuable and important qualities of character and personality, they will give vague or contradictory answers.

This lack of clarity or insecurity about what an ideal person is like causes the individual to wander through life in circles, associating with negative influences and spending time with others who also doubt what kind of people they want to be when they grow up. The values you choose in your life and how you define them shape and influence your personality and achievements as much as any other factor.

If you take the time to think about and clearly define the values and key qualities you most admire and wish to incorporate into your personality, you will begin to shape and direct your entire personality and determine the results you will achieve in the future. When you think about your values and reflect on how to incorporate them into your life and behavior, you are becoming a different person.

Consequently, you will attract different people and opportunities into your life. Your external world will soon begin to reflect your internal world. You will move faster towards achieving your most important goals and your goals will advance rapidly towards you. It all starts with taking complete control of the formation and development of the ideal person you want to be.

The second part of your self concept is your self image. Thanks to the work of Dr. Maxwell Maltz and his book Psycho Cybernetics, we know that the way you see yourself internally largely determines how you perform externally. If you see yourself as a positive, popular, productive and successful person internally, that's exactly how you will act in the external world and how you behave externally largely determines the results you obtain.

The results you achieve will positively or negatively reinforce this self image and prepare you to repeat the same behaviors in similar future situations. The self image is often referred to as the inner mirror. It is the mirror in which you look before any performance or before entering any important event.

If you see yourself as confident and successful before meeting a new person, applying for a job, or making a presentation, that's how you will act in that situation. If you have a poor self image and see yourself as unpopular, insecure or incompetent, that will also reflect in your behavior. This negative self image will make you feel awkward, uncomfortable, and inadequate during the event.

One of the most important habits you should develop before any important situation is the habit of feeding your mind with positive images of yourself performing at your best. Spend a few minutes just like athletes, politicians and actors do and imagine yourself delivering a brilliant performance. Retain that image in your mind for as long as you can. Then relax and let it go.

Later, when you are doing what you need to do, your subconscious mind will recall that image and provide you with the words, actions and gestures that align exactly with the image you created minutes earlier. The third part of your self concept is your self esteem. This is the sensitive or emotional component of your personality, the core of the reactor of your subconscious mind.

Your level of self esteem determines the vitality and energy of your personality and is the control valve of your performance. Currently, many psychologists agree that your level of self esteem is the most important part of your personality and greatly predicts your success or failure, your happiness or unhappiness in all areas of your life. In fact, self esteem is so important that we often organize our entire lives around it.

It is said that almost everything we do is to gain self esteem or to protect ourselves from losing it. Everything counts. Everything that happens to you and what occurs around you affects your self esteem in one way or another, either increasing or decreasing it. Everything that happens to you defends or threatens your self esteem.

Every word or gesture from another person affects your self esteem in some way. Thus, maintaining and developing your self esteem becomes key to high performance, happiness and success. When you compare your behavior to your ideal self, many factors affect your self esteem.

One of the most important is the distance between the image you have of yourself, how you see yourself right now, and the ideal person you want to be in the future. As long as you feel that your current performance and behavior align with those of the ideal person you want to be, your self esteem rises. You feel happier and more euphoric. You have more energy and enthusiasm.

You are more positive and pleasant with others. Conversely, if your current performance or behavior does not align with the ideal person you want to be, your self esteem falls. You feel anxious, unhappy, uncomfortable, insecure, frustrated and angry. The good news is that the clearer you know what kind of person you want to be, the more easily you can adjust your performance and behavior to be consistent with that ideal person you admire most.

And every time you say or do something consistent with that ideal person, your self esteem rises. You feel happier and more confident, more positive and more powerful. You feel capable of doing more and better things in that area and others. The best definition of self esteem is how much you love yourself.

We have found that the more you love yourself, the better your performance. And the better your performance, the more you love yourself. Every time you do something well in any area, your self esteem increases. You love yourself more and perform better in that area and others.

The most powerful words you can use to take control of your personality and improve your self esteem are I love myself. The more you repeat these words, the happier and more confident you will feel and the better you will perform. When I first heard this powerful affirmation many years ago, my self esteem was quite low. I had a poor self image.

I wasn't clear on what my ideal self was. I was filled with fears and doubts and often compared myself negatively with others. To counteract these feelings, I started repeating I love myself about 10, 20, or even 50 times a day. They had an enormous impact on my personality.

Perhaps the most powerful words in your vocabulary are those you say to yourself and truly believe. Many psychologists claim that 95% of our emotions are determined by the words running through our minds at any given moment. And your mind is much like a vacuum. It doesn't stay empty for long.

If you don't intentionally fill it with positive and constructive words, it will fill up with your fears, worries and concerns. In other words, if you don't intentionally plant flowers in the garden of your mind, the weeds will automatically grow. One of the most important habits you should develop is the habit of talking to yourself positively most of the time. And the most positive words you can use during the day, especially before an important event, are I love myself.

It's impossible to say these words and not feel happier, especially if you repeat them in an emotional and emphatic way. Every time you say I love myself, your self esteem rises. And when your self esteem rises, you feel more positive and optimistic. You are more eager to achieve meaningful goals and challenges.

The more you love yourself, the less likely fears and doubts are to interfere with your success. And you simply gain all the benefits of boosting your self esteem by repeating the words I love myself, the higher your self esteem, the more quickly you will develop the million dollar habits that allow you to accomplish extraordinary things. Since everything you do externally is controlled by your subconscious mind, your true programmer. By changing your self concept you are changing your reality.

The self concept is the foundation of the laws of belief, expectations, attraction and correspondence. Remember that the key to reaching your full potential is to be able to control your mental training. The ideas, habits and attitudes you choose to form are what will make you successful. You can find and replace limiting beliefs, create a success oriented mindset and form new habits that are in line with your highest goals by using the strategies and techniques we've talked about today.
