叶与根:自尊VS自我形象

作者:Jonathan

 

We all have a certain image of ourselves. This mental image is based on our personal assessment of our abilities, looks, intelligence, popularity and any number of other personal qualities. Our emotional evaluation of that image will determine our level of self-esteem.

我们都会对自己有某种自我形象。这种形象存在于我们思想当中,建立在我们对自身能力、相貌、智力、受欢迎度及其它任何个人特点的评价上。对自我形象的评价决定我们的自尊程度。

Even though we tend to think that our self-image is accurate and based on reality, it’s not. People rarely see themselves objectively because we view everything through a complex set of perception filters. We simply can’t help but see ourselves through the window of our beliefs about who we think we are. Life is entirely about perspective and each of us has our own unique perception of reality.

虽然我们会认为我们的自我形象是准确的,基于现实的,然而,事情并非如此。人们很少能客观地认识自己,因为我们对所有事情的看法都是经过一个复杂的思维体系“过滤”的。你认为自己是怎样的呢?对这个问题的回答就是你的自我认识;我们唯有通过这种方式来认识自我,几乎没有其它办法。生活完全就是一个不断认知的过程,我们每个人对现实都有不同的理解。

What kind of self-image do you have?

你的自我形象如何呢?

Is your view of yourself empowered by feelings of self-confidence, or is it clouded with limiting thoughts of self-doubt? Have you unknowingly placed invisible boundaries on what you are able to achieve because of hidden limiting beliefs, or do you see a world of limitless possibilities ripe with opportunity? What you see is directly related to the way you respond to your own self-image.

自信还是自我怀疑? 两者当中,谁对你的自我认识影响更大呢?是因为某些潜在的思想障碍,你在无形当中给自己设限?还是把世界看作充满了机遇和挑战呢?你的这些看法与自我形象直接相关。

But if self-image is based on perception, then we should be able to change it, right? Well, we can! How would you like to develop a custom made perception of your own abilities? How about a mindset where you know for certain that anything is possible, and where feelings of doubt, resentment, and failure no longer exert their influence on you?

如果自我形象是建立在认识的基础上的,那么我们应该可以改变它(自我形象)了? 没错,是可以的。对你自己的能力做一个“量身打造”的评价如何?或者,请看看下面这种思想如何呢?即:认为一切皆有可能;怀疑、抱怨、失败不会影响你分毫。

Self-image and your expectations

自我形象和你的期望

It all starts with the mental picture you hold of yourself; your internal self-image. In order for you to free up your vast hidden potential, you need to learn to fully appreciate just how unique and valuable you really are. You also need to understand that no matter where you are in life, you have the ability to unleash enormous potential and create unprecedented change.

期望源于你的自我认识,即自我形象。为了释放你的巨大的潜力,你得学会欣赏自己:我其实是非常独特、有能力的。同时,你也得知道:无论你现在的处境如何,你都能够释放巨大的潜力,做出前所未有的改变。

You are the one who gets to decide what you get out of life. If you are truly convinced that you deserve a life of abundance and joy, you will find a way to create that reality. On the other hand, if you don’t see how such a life ispossible, or if you hold the feeling that you don’t deserve “the good life,” your results will probably meet your expectations.

你得自己决定要过怎样的生活。如果你真正相信会拥有一份属于你的富足、快乐的生活,你会想办法去实现它。而另一方面,如果你认为它是不可能的,或者认为这种“好生活”不属于你,结果可想而知。

We can all benefit from an updated image

更新自我形象的益处

Your self-image can limit you, or empower you, to a much greater degree than most people think possible. If your self-image is an outdated old picture left over from an unhappy or emotionally taxing time, it probably isn’t serving you very well. Not only that, but it doesn’t even represent the person you really are. All it does is hold you back!

你的自我形象能够限制你,或者推动你前行;它的这些作用之大远超过人们的想象。如果你的自我形象陈旧了——受以前某段不愉快或抑郁的经历影响,很可能它对你已经没有益处了。不仅如此,它甚至不能代表现在的你;它只会成为你的阻碍。

Many people carry around deeply ingrained beliefs anchored to undesirable events from the past. Those beliefs are not only limiting, they are also obsolete. Dismantling them and replacing them with new, updated, empowering beliefs will completely change your self-image. As a result, your self-esteem will skyrocket. Remember, self-esteem is based on our emotional evaluation of our self-image.

很多人都有一些与以往不愉快经历相关的观念,且根深蒂固。这些观念不仅限制着你,它们也已经老旧了。抛弃它们,用最新的、有力的观念代替;如此,就会彻底改变你的自我形象。因此,你的自尊会飙升。记住,自尊是建立在对自我形象的评价上的。

Change your filters, change your life

改变视角,改变生活

We live in a world that can and does overwhelm many people. Learning to maintain a positive mental and emotional perspective is a very valuable skill. It can quite literally change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. But a positive emotional perspective needs to be based on a positive self-image or it won’t be able to hold up under pressure.

我们生活的时代能够并且正在淹没很多人的理性(或者是思想,感情等——译者注)。学会保持积极的思维、情绪,是一种非常宝贵的能力。它(积极的情绪、思维)真的能改变我们对自身以及这个世界的看法。但是,它需要建立在积极的自我形象之上,否则它是难堪重负的。

To rebuild our self-image and bolster our self-esteem we need to start on a very core level. We need to get in touch with our TRUE SELF and harmonize our beliefs and actions with the person that we really are. We also need to let go of unrealistic negative baggage that isn’t serving us. I know it sounds like a tall order, but remember; this is your quality of life we are talking about.

为了重塑自我形象,提升我们的自尊,我们要从关键点出发。我们需要与真我对话,让我们的观念、行为与我们的本性相符。我们也得撇弃那些负面的、假想的包袱,因为它们对我们毫无是处。我知道,要做到这些似乎困难重重,但是请记住:这关系你的生活质量——我们现在讨论的话题。

3 steps to creating a more empowering self-image

3招建立更强有力的自我形象

1. Figure out who you really are and what you stand for. You are not your job, your friends, or the results you produce.You are someone with core values and standards. To create an empowering self-image you need to get in touch with those values. Once you do, then do your very best to live by them. This will create a sense of inner harmony and purpose.

1.清楚你是谁,你要坚持什么
你不是为工作,朋友,或者你取得的成绩而生活。你是有核心价值观及标准的个体。要建立强有力的自我形象,你需要践行这些价值观。一旦你开始做了(即践行自己的价值观——译者注),就要竭尽一切可能地坚持下去。如此你就会感觉到内心的和谐及成就感。

2. Let go of pride and embrace self-honesty. When we lie to ourselves about who we are it creates internal conflict.You don’t need pretenses to be worthy of your own approval. We all have shortcomings and it is perfectly alright to admit it. Having room for improvement doesn’t make us less of a person, but lying to ourselves does.

2.抛弃骄傲,拥抱诚实
在我是谁这个问题上,如果我们欺骗自己了,这将激起内心矛盾。你不必靠伪装来获得自我肯定。我们都有各自的缺点;承认自己的缺点是完全可行的。有待改进的缺点不会让人丢脸,但是欺骗自己就会。

3. Always choose the higher path. Don’t cut corners on the journey of life and don’t violate your personal ethics for any reason. Once you figure out what you stand for, then stand firm – your self-image depends on it. This world is full of people who will do anything to gain an advantage. Never ever stoop to that level. Choose the high road and you will discover the unmatched advantage that comes with an empowering self-image and a health self-esteem.

3.力争上游
在生活的旅程中,不要走捷径;也不能以任何理由违背自己的价值观。一旦你清楚了你要坚持什么,就要做到坚决不动摇——这决定了你的自我形象。在这个世界,不择手段、图己私利的人比比皆是。永远绝不沦为这个层次。选择高尚之路,你就会发现:获得一个强有力的自我形象,一份高度自尊,以及随之而来的无可比拟的优势。
