I think I’m sexy.
Do you?

“When someone has never met you before, they look for any signals that will help them decide what they think about you. The first words you say will be perceived as the ‘real’ you. When a woman describes her body as fat, she immediately introduces a negative vibe that other people pick up on. Pointing out your perceived flaws draws attention to something that may not be true. Without any facts to go on, people will form an opinion based on whatever limited information you give them.”

Book O’ the Week

What You Don’t Know About How Others See You

by: Ann Demarias, Ph.d. and Valerie White, Ph.D.

“I bought this book about a month before starting a new job and it completely changed my approach to meeting people. It gave me confidence in social situations where previously I’d been very stand-offish, shy or awkward. I actually “worked the room” at an all-staff party held the week I started my job. Not only did I feel confident, I actually had a blast at an event that I normally would’ve hated.”

Dear Hearts,

The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitude of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
~ William James

It is so amazing to me that what we think we become. Even more amazing is the fact that what we think about ourselves is highly contagious, causing others to see us the same as we see ourselves. Is that good news or bad news? Good news! Because if we maintain a positive self-image others will see us in a positive light. If we have negative self-images we can learn to change them and actually change the way others feel about us. That’s very good news indeed!

Throughout my childhood I received mostly negative images abut who I was, what I deserved, and what I was capable of doing. All of this of course resulted in low self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness. My expectation about others was that they wouldn’t like me and wouldn’t have any use for me. And wouldn’t you know it, that’s exactly the way I was received by almost everybody.

My survival modality was to make myself as invisible as possible, lay low, and above all do not make eye contact with anybody. Eye contact always caused me trouble, big time. This strategy worked fairly well as a child, but as an adult it was absolutely crippling. I seemed to be invisible, my presence, opinions and ideas could not be heard or seen by most people in meetings, parties, and groups. I was terrified at the possibility of a one on one conversation with anybody that had self-confidence. Needless to say, all this didn’t go a long way in helping me advance my position in life.

It took a bit of time and a little help from friends, mentors and teachers but I overcame all that and finally learned who I really am and what I have to offer. My life mission is now to: Elevate people to a higher level of thinking about who they are, what they’ve got and how to present themselves more fully to the world.
