Maintaining a positive self-image with CMT

[Guest guest]

Dear ers,

Just exchanged an email with a CMT friend on 'self-image' and thought

I'd toss the subject out to you. How do you maintain a positive 'self-

image'? What do you do? External things like dress well, good grooming,

hair styling, etc? What about 'internal' things, like caring for your

soul? What about reading? Listening to good music? " Self-Talk " or

repeating affirmations? What about meditation or prayer?

In all my years with CMT I have believed that what I really must work

on consistently is what's inside me, my thoughts, feelings, emotions,

and focus on the good in me. This then seems to radiate outward. Or

maybe this is my Leo sun shining through? For me, it is not the clothes

I wear or shoes I wear, but my self-image comes from 'within'. I can

look beautiful in a pair of jeans and a white shirt, and even more so

if good things are in my heart, head and soul. Those are essential for

my maintaining a positive self-image.

What do YOU do to maintain a positive self-image with your CMT?
