self concept
“Leave the mirror and change your face. Leave the world alone and change your conceptions of yourself.” - Neville Goddard
Self concept is how you view yourself, and I mean what you genuinely, deep down, behind it all view about yourself. It’s how you view yourself and your relationships, whether with people or with the world in general and how you are treated by it. It’s how you believe you are viewed by others.
The beliefs that make up your self concept are important, because the whole basis of the law of assumption is that is persisted in will harden into fact. If you are persisting in negative assumptions about yourself, your relationships, how you are treated, and your manifesting abilities those assumptions will have no choice but to harden into fact. But, as Neville Goddard states, “change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live.”
Self concept is important, as pretty much every law of assumption blog on this platform has stressed. A solid self concept makes manifesting a thousand times easier. So how do you change it? It’s easy! Start by paying attention to your inner conversations and know that you are in control of them. In addition, you can journal about your manifestations to help build your belief in your abilities. You can journal your thoughts & feelings to identify what your current self concept is, which could help you figure out what needs to be changed for the better and what works. Or you can journal about how amazing your self concept is, even if it isn’t even totally solid yet! Write as if you have the most perfect self concept ever. Write about the new assumptions which will replace your old ones. I’m a writer, so I did this one when working on my self concept and it helped so much. I also made a playlist of songs that put me in a good mood and made me feel good about myself (usually 70s/80s hits lollll) and it helped so much with persisting in positive assumptions!! You could also use affirmations! Use them as much or as little as you’d like, you create the rules to all of this.
To sum up, pay attention to how you talk about, and to, yourself. Persist in your positive assumptions, even if you aren’t seeing the results you want yet. Don’t reaffirm negative assumptions such as “I’m ugly”, “I’m unpopular”, “Everyone ignores me, I’m always treated poorly”, “I’m a bad student”, “I take poor care of myself”, “I have the worst luck”, “I’m always late”, “I always get stuck in traffic”, etc. Take those negative assumptions and flip them into something positive. As soon as they try and make themselves known, you shut them down and interrupt them! Change the way you talk to yourself, change the way you see yourself, and everything will fall into place.
