4 Repercussions of First Impression

First impressions are not only quick to form , they last forever. You owe it yourself to create powerful First Impression because your success, happiness and fulfilment depends on them.

Every first impression is contextual. It is based on a situation where a stranger in front of you is trying to maximize benefit to herself/himself company and minimizing pain. It also depends on stranger and their perceptions, knowledge and experience. It is what the stranger considers important in the given situation and the characteristics they want to see in you and the way they sees themselves. And the most important factor is “YOU“. What kind of image would you like to portray? Image is your identity, it’s you in the eyes of others.

Edge Of The world

When the day ends and night begins

When love fails and hatred wins

Thats when you know , you have come to the edge of the world

When rich becomes richer and poor becomes poorer

When corruption is on the top of the minds

Thats when you know, you have come to the edge of the world

When a child lies and the mother cries

When a lover cheats and infidelity remains

That when you know, you have come to the edge of the world

When cruelty wins over goodness

When revenge wins over forgiveness

That when you know, you have come to the edge of the world

Lets wake up from this gloomy life

And makes this world a place of joyful ride

Thats when NO one will come to the edge of the world….

God’s priceless gift….” A Mother “

I remember those wonderful days 
When you wrapped me tightly in your arms, close to your heart

I remember when you helped me
in every  decision of life because that’s the toughest time,

I remember your tight hugs when I am feeling low
because you have all the love to show

I remember you supporting me 
When whole world seems to be accusing me

I remember you wiping my tears
when I face my deepest fears

I remember when you shout at me
because you wanted best for me

Mom,I wish I have you by my side
I love you and thank you for all you did for me
and hope someday I make you proud for whatever comes to be

I wish you were here, mom I miss you so much
no one knows what I would give for just one touch.

10 Positive Thought Strategies

In my previous write up you read about self-image. Today we are going to know about certain strategies which can help you in building positive self -image. Lets get started..

Avoid exaggerations

Correct your internal voice when it exaggerates , especially when it exaggerates the negatives. Try to avoid thinking in extreme terms.

Nip negative thoughts in the bud

Sometimes putting a stop on negative thinking is as easy as that. The next time you start giving yourself an internal browbeating, tell yourself to “stop it” If you saw a person yelling, insult at another person, you would probably tell them to stop. Why do you accept that behaviour from yourself.

Accentuate the positive

Instead of focusing on what you think are your negative qualities, accentuate your strengths and assets.

Self Image

How we think and feel about ourselves influence the way we react or respond to life stressors. A positive self-image affects our physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual well being. Self-image can determine the quality of our relationships with others.

People’s self-image, how they see themselves is normally based on the compliments and criticism received throughout their life, especially when they are young and vulnerable.

Have you ever asked yourself ” What was I thinking?” or thought to yourself “That was stupid” when doing something? That was your internal voice judging you. In some people that internal voice can be too critical and harsh , leading to low self- esteem. In others, it may be so weak that they don’t notice when they are mean or insensitive to others.

Listening your internal voice and judgments of yourself is the first step to changing your self-image and esteem. One way to gain a better understanding of your current self-image is to imagine your reactions to different situations you encounter.
