What is Self Concept?

How Your Concept of Self Shifts Your Reality

Often, we allow our circumstances to control our emotions and determine how we feel about ourselves.

But it can be the opposite.

What is Self Concept?

• What you think about yourself

• How you feel about yourself

• Who you think you are

• Who you think that others think you are

• How you see the world

• How you believe the world works

“Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live”

- Neville Goddard

The identity you’ve given yourself:

It is your concept of self that dictates how you perceive your circumstances, how you navigate through the world, how you carry yourself, your actions, and your reactions.

Your self concept shapes your entire experience. In order to change your circumstances around you, you first need to change your inner concept of yourself.

Everything is You, pushed out.

Your concept of yourself is reflected in your world.

Your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, actions, reactions, and assumptions of what deem yourself to be are projected outward.

People, circumstances, and the world around you conform to your concept of yourself and reflect evidence back to you, reminding you of the concept you hold of yourself.

What you think, believe, and assume about yourself determines what you think, believe, and assume about others.

When others interact with you, they experience your concept of yourself, consciously or unconsciously.

Self Love

Self concept is different from self love.

Self concept is the way you perceive yourself.

Self love is the way you treat yourself.

While you can still have love for yourself from a mentality of lack and a poor self concept, equally, you can have a self concept that you are loved by everyone, while not loving yourself.

They don’t depend on each other, but they definitely can support each other.

Loving yourself can make it easier to embody new beliefs for a favorable self concept. And a self concept that you are loved can make it easier to feel love toward yourself.

Self Worth

Self worth is the extent to which you value yourself and how deserving you think you are. 

When you don’t feel worthy of what you want, it becomes harder to believe that you can have it.

Components of Self Concept

Instead of letting our emotions and circumstances control the show, we can consciously select our concept of self and state of being.

From the dominant state of being you dwell in, certain things exist (and do not exist) for you in that state of consciousness. 

You experience the reality of life through the lens of your self concept.

Your Self Concept = Your State of Consciousness = Your Reality

How do you shift your self concept?

Becoming aware of your current concept of self:

Your perception of self is often deeply embedded your subconscious programming.

Circumstances, reactions, thoughts, emotions, reality, the way you talk to yourself, the way others talk to you; your reality reflects your self concept back to you. 

Changing your state of being changes the way you see yourself.

And as your self concept changes, you become aware of new possibilities you were unaware of before.

What concept of yourself do you want to embody?

Your Inner World = Your Outer World

How would you treat yourself if you saw yourself as the version you want to be?

Who would you be talking to? 

How would you react to circumstances?

How would you handle fears and insecurities? 

How would you think and feel about things? 

How would you think and feel about yourself?

Remind yourself of your new self perception as many times as you can.

Who are You?

You are more than just a physical body.

You are more than your ego and your mind.

“Because of your belief in external things you think power into them by transferring the power that you are to the external thing. Realize you yourself are the power you have mistakenly given to outer conditions.”

- NEVILLE GODDARD
