Step 1: Give yourself a reality check Creating a map of your low self

The first step to becoming your natural best (or true self)
I’ve
is to be fully aware of your low self, the part of you that ted

sometimes slips, falls and holds you down by thinking, I’ved se n
d
feeling and acting in negative ways. Recall and connect
with a low-self experience from your past (a time when
you were being at your worst) and, without judgement or

aggressive
justification, notice who you were in that low moment.

I’ve been
shunned
I’ve

For example, you may have been hurt, angry and

stressed. Using a Self Mapping template from the back
of this document, and guided by the examples opposite,
write your low-self habits or behaviours for the six zones
labelled Habit around the outside of the map. Fill in each
space with how you believe you act when low in that irreI’ve b

area of your life (mental, emotional, physical, material, sib

social and spiritual). For example, ‘I’ve been lazy’.
Please write lightly in pencil so you can erase it later.

Now repeat the exercise, this time focusing on your low-

self attitudes or feelings. Once again connect with a low d I’ve

Step 2: Imagine being brilliant Creating a map of your TRUE self USING WORDS

Now it’s time to think about what being your very

best looks like. Re-live a time from your past or simply ce m

imagine being your best right now, and notice some of I’veg I choose
your most positive and powerful habits or behaviours.

this time notice your true-self attitudes and emotions.

Consider your existing habit statements and ask yourself I’ve been
what attitude or emotion sits behind them. For example ab I am flippant m

if your habit is to exercise then maybe the Attitude nt ac
behind it is self-respect. Write using positive words and
present tense, for example ‘I am caring’. Write in the six
Attitude zones (the outward-pointing green triangles).
Finally, imagine living your life as your true self once
more and notice your positive outlooks and beliefs. As
before, consider what you have already stated for your
habit and attitude and ask yourself what outlooks or
beliefs sit behind them. Write your statements in the
Outlook zones (the orange triangles) using pen and
present tense, for example ‘I am free’ or ‘I am loving’.

Step 3: Picture your true self Creating a map of your TRUE self USING PICTURES

Finally, place your two Self Maps side by side and,

one by one, erase each low self pencilled statement,
consciously letting go of any negative thoughts, feelings
or memories attached to it. Then replace each statement
with a colourful picture or symbol which represents your
true-self outlooks, attitudes and habits.
Commit a few moments each day to look at your picture
map while speaking your positive statements and
you will replace your low self with your true self and
gradually become your natural best.
