Seeing yourself as you really are can be an excruciatingly difficult process, but if you put the time and effort into it, meeting your real self can be an extremely rewarding experience. In seeing yourself objectively and honestly, you can learn to accept yourself and figure out ways of improving yourself in the future.
Pick up a pen and paper and write out a description of yourself. Make it as detailed as possible, defining yourself as a whole person: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Start with statements like, "I am..." or "What I'm really proud of myself for is..."
Answer each statement with at least 8 to 12 responses.
List your strengths and weaknesses, as well. Most people can identify at least one good thing and one bad thing about themselves, no matter how inflated their ego might be or how beaten up their self-esteem as become. Write out what you believe to be your strong points and your failings, as determined only by your gut response.
Recall significant moments in your life.
Think about the stories you frequently share from your past. Ask yourself what these stories say about you and why you feel compelled to tell them to the people you meet.
Ban yourself from the mirror.
Step away from the mirror for a full week and stop looking at your reflection. In doing so, you interrupt any false perceptions of your physical self that are continually maintained every day when you check how you look.
By the end of your mirror ban, you may also reach the realization that the only one so concerned and critical of your appearance is yourself. Once you force yourself to stop fixating on your supposed physical flaws, you will likely notice that no one else is stepping up to fixate on them in your place. As a result, you may eventually realize that the negative beliefs you held about your appearance are not true, after all.
Quiet the noise inside your head.
Life can be very demanding and your own thoughts can pull you in a hundred different directions at one time. Simplify your life for a few weeks to help minimize the anxious thoughts and negative self-talk that usually accompany a hectic schedule.
If you have difficulty quieting the noise in your head right away, plan on taking a vacation of sorts away from your inner nag ahead of time. Take care of as many of your needs as possible so that you will have little, if anything, to do during that week or so of "vacation." Schedule your obligations so that there will be no outside anxieties invading your thoughts during that time.
Analyze each perception you originally had.
After you have given yourself a vacation from your original set of perceptions, drag out the list and go through it point by point. Ask yourself if each point has any validity to it and spend the time carefully going through the list one by one.
With each perception or statement you made, ask yourself:
"Can I prove it to be completely true? Can I prove it to be false?"
"How do I react, physically and emotionally, to this thought or idea?"
“Are there positive attributes associated with this negative quality?” / “Are there negative attributes associated with this positive quality?”
