Out of the IMAGE box
Creative writings on image management by Image Jockey 'eNGee'
‘out of the IMAGE box’ was an out of the box idea that recently came to my mind in the middle of an evening walk. All this while I kept thinking, how image management could be presented to everyone differently, creatively & most importantly in the simplest way for them to understand its concept, importance & how it can be put to use in our day to day life. Introducing for the very first time Image Jockey ‘eNGee’ & let’s see what she has to say to us…..
Image as such has two meanings, one being- a representation of a person or thing and the second one being- the general impression of a person or thing that is created on other people.
If you read the above line carefully, you will realize that the second meaning is a final product of the first one. Meaning, the way you present yourself to others, other will create a similar impression about you or it may go this way- the kind of impression that you want to create on others simply depends on the way you present yourself to them.
Further there are two types of images, 1. Self Image- The way you feel about yourself or the way you perceive yourself & 2. Body Image- the way you look or the external appearance of your body.
Here, type 1 i.e. Self Image is completely depended on how comfortable & poised you are about type 2 i.e. your Body Image. The more contended & assertive you are about your Body Image, the more happy & confident you will feel about your self Image. This will help you portray an overall positive & impressive image of yourself in front of others.
Now the question is how do I feel assertive & confident about my body image? Here’s how we go about it…..
- We are uniquely created by God & God makes no mistakes. Uniquely means exclusively, exceptionally & matchless. So no two humans can look the same. We need to accept the way we are made & feel happy about it.Moresoever, the way you dress & present your best self to others is completely in your hands. It’s all about your presentation skills & positive body language!
- Everything is not about your external appearance. It’s also about your inner strengths, ability to communicate well & expertise to do or perform certain skills which makes a major part of your image. To be able to follow a particular interest or hobby or to perform or showcase a certain talent in front of others in itself boosts your self-confidence & helps you to project a positive self Image in front of others.
