Image Makeover0
Image Makeover shows are everywhere. ”How to look good naked”, “What not to wear”, “The naked chef”, “Top Gear”, “Better Homes and Gardens” to name just a few. It doesn’t matter whether it’s your house, car, hairstyle, wardrobe or body - someone, somewhere - especially in television land - wants to change the way it looks.
It seems the way things look to you, is clearly the wrong way. You need someone else to show you the way things really are. Have you ever moved to a new town, or joined a new group, or seen some childhood friends, and had the feeling “Don’t these people know who I am?!”
The way we see ourselves, our “self image” can be influenced by the way other people see us. Our feeling of worth and value or “self esteem” can also be enhanced or diminshed by the treatment we receive from others. I think we all know that it can, the question is should it?
I recently moved to a small town, about 5,000 kilometres away from where I had lived for almost a decade. It’s a beautiful town. But the people don’t treat me the same. So I could change my self-image to conform with the image they have of me. But should I?
And, anyway, what’s that got to do with money? Find out by clicking here.
