Improving Your Self Image - an Experiment

A high self-image involves feeling confident about your appearance. The easiest way to feel confident about your appearance is to play up your best traits and work on the worst ones.

So I am conducting a self experiment to see how my theory plays out. Feel free to participate by following the outline below.

Experiment Outline:
1. Write down the 5 physical traits that you like BEST about yourself.
2. For each trait, write down WHY you consider them your best traits.
3. For each trait, write down an easy way to keep that attribute physically healthy.
4. For each trait, write down a way to highlight those features (ex. Clothes, accessories).
5. On a separate sheet, write down the 5 physical traits you like LEAST about yourself.
6. For each trait, write down WHY you consider it one of your worst traits.
7. For each trait, write down an easy way to improve/make it better.
8. Now try out 3,4,7 for a week and see if you notice results.
9. From lists 3,4,7 and what results you were happiest with create “5 Rules of Thumb” – five rules that will strive to follow every day to look your best at all times.

Experiment Example (only uses one trait):
1. BEST: My wrists
2. My wrists – I have never thought negatively about them and I consider them “delicate”
3. My wrists - Moisturize
4. My wrists – wear dangly bracelets/bangles
5. WORST: My skin
6. My skin – I have struggled with acne every day of my life since I was 12 years old, my paleness is prone to burning & hard to hide blemishes
7. My skin - Follow strict skin regime (no cheating), don’t touch my face as much, bring facewash to the gym, keep night cream by my bed
8. I notice my skin looks better if I take the extra effort to make sure to follow the million steps in my daily routine!
9. Rule of Thumb: If going to be in the sun, bring powder!
