PART 3
Here are some good statements that you can use as self-suggestions:
"I trust myself completely. I follow the example of those who succeed. I fully deserve to be successful and to be happy. I actively want to play my part in the universe. I am certain that I will reach my goal.

I want to win and in order to do that I will first win a victory over myself. In order to succeed I assume the attitude of a person who always succeeds.

I am ready for this wonderful day, aware of the gigantic force of the Universe that sustains me and that manifests through me.

I allow the cosmic energies to manifest freely through me, and I assimilate the cosmic energies that make me a new, better person.

I believe stronger and stronger that I can be successful in whatever I choose to do. My look is daring, my speech is warmer, more loving and convincing.

My walk is firmer and more self-assured. I want to express as often as I can, through my smile and through my look a beatific force, inspiring trust, love and sympathy."

SIMPLE TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING YOUR SELF-IMAGE

EXERCISE 1:
Sit comfortably on a chair, in front of a mirror, with your spine straight. Close your eyes and create in your inner universe a state of calmness, of tranquility.

Then open your eyes and look at the reflection in the mirror as if you have just met that person for the first time. Observe the first impressions. Watch the changes of your facial expressions, according to the thoughts and feelings that change inside of you.

Try to establish a good relationship with the person in the mirror. Relax the muscles of your face and control your breath. These two actions contribute to your inner balance.

Imagine now that you replace all negative attitudes with positive ones, with the help of your breath and relaxation. Close your eyes and try to become familiar with this new perception on yourself.

EXERCISE 2:
Light a candle. Sit comfortably on a chair, with your spine straight. Close your eyes and create in your inner universe a state of calmness, of tranquility.

Then open your eyes and look at the light of the candle, comparing the dance of the flame with your thoughts. Imagine that its light destroys and burns away all your mental impurities, all your negative thoughts.

Then close your eyes and project the image in the area between the eyebrows. Maintain this mental image as long as you can. You will finally notice the appearance of a state of interiorization, of purification, of calm and tranquility.
