Sanity
Savers: Maintaining a Healthy Self Image
By Dr. Dale Atkins
We each
create our own self image. Whether you are your own person
or let others define you is essential with coming to terms
with who and what you believe yourself to be.
Our sense of our physical, emotional, social, intellectual,
psychological and moral selves contributes to that larger
picture. Talk positively to yourself using the language
of a kind and supportive person. Visualize this person and
hear their voice as you begin to make it your own.
Sanity
