Your Self-Image and the Things You Do When No One is Watching...

in #mindset5 years ago (edited)

Hello, Steemians!

When we appear in society, we have many different faces.

The face you wear in front of your boss is different than the one you wear when you are out with your special other.

Our self-image is a portrait that is constantly changing and evolving in the light of our character development and the things that happen to us in life.

What is the relevance of this self-image when it comes to doing things that contribute to your daily productivity and mindset?

Our solitude is a comfort zone unlike any other. It is the ultimate place of sanctuary, where even the darkest parts of our inner self can find light and shine.

The thoughts that we are afraid of having, or the things that we are afraid of doing, or things that society deems wrong and brings much shame can easily be performed or accomplished in the space of our solitude.

This gives way to a dangerous thought pattern that can bring you down in the long run.

But I have found a solution for that which can turn your own solitude into a weapon of your productivity and positive mindset.

It is simple: if you want to be productive, try to preserve your self-image and do the things that you would do if you knew that other people were watching.

Let me elaborate more on this argument.

Consider a person whose opinion matters to you. A person who should always see you as someone responsible and considerate, and someone determined or serious.

It could be a family member or a mentor.

Now imagine that when you are in your lonely space, that person is watching you.

Obviously, you will not do a lot of things that you would do in their presence.

Whenever you imagine someone who is expecting great things from you, the incentive and motivation in your mind suddenly rises to the roof.

That is why you should imagine them when you are alone.

Because if we are being reasonable, when we are alone, we shouldn’t do things that we wouldn’t do if other people were present and could stand judgement to our deed or thought.

A lot of people get distracted when they are alone. That is why this is a good technique to boost their productivity.

Always imagine yourself in the presence of those greater than you, and you will see that it is easy to do the things that get you closer to your ideal self.

A BIG HUG!!!

Hello,
people wearing too many masks. They want to please everyone and forget to be theirself .
My motto:
Just Be Yourself and That's it!
💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
Have a great day
Tom

The masks are for protection. Someone needs to wear them when they have fear, tremendous amount of fear. Getting rid of fear in life is the key to removing the masks.

hi, interesting post, it sums up some discussion I had with myself some time ago, now I'm totally productive, and having a pure passion like music helps a lot as well; makes me think about that movie I saw, "Hollowman", to sum it up it was about some scientist passionate with biology, a particular scene of the movie stayed in my mind, whenever he was distracted and looking towards the ceiling, there was a note up there, it was written: "you should be working"; and it's a real catalyst for productivity; for me it's simple: I clearly want to reach my music industry goals as fast as possible, so I have no excuse for distraction, as simple as that, when you have big goals and potential, you can't let yourself down like that :D

I believe that beyond our imagination, we're always watched even if we're alone.
If we think that we're alone and nobody is watching, this is really dangerous obviously,

If you fake out in front of other people you can never go a long way, somewhere or the other you will be exposed in your true nature. We all have flaws so it's ok to let your flaws come out in front of others.
Sometimes we need to wear different hats which may be situational but that does not change the basic character which is the most important in maintaining one's integrity.

Me gusto mucho el mensaje que das, es totalmente cierto eso de que cuando piensas en la persona que te impulsa intentas hacerlo mejor.

I really liked this post, I am interested in the different gazes people have with different people. I am a bit of a people watcher and see what your are talking about all the time.. I covered a lot of this in University, where we looked at semiotics. Anyhow I have just started my steemit account, and would appreciate any help in getting started. I put my first post up today. If you had the time to check it out let me know what you think.

Thanks

I love your thoughts about this. I think this subject is very important in these "new times".
I love your content, im new on this site, i already love the high quality content on this site, and im looking forward to have a long term relationship with other people on this site!
I have subscribed, much love from Denmark

excellent publication, we all have different faces to situations and people, however we have only one soul which we will only see who really deserves it. We will be ourselves in total and genuine purity. Congratulations and success.

Hello chbartist and all the steemians,

I won't be tired of saying you have to chase creativity all the time, while you are working, when you are being social and outside and with yourself in your house. Being creative is being as you truly are, withouth fear of judgment!

Remember to have fun before anything else!😜

Have a great day🌞
Marc

Es verdad @chbartist vivimos de caretas y solo nos ponemos en acción cuando sentimos una presión externa; y en la soledad e intimidad lo que hacemos inconscientemente es procrastinar, y he de confesar que fui parte de ese grupo. Espero ahora resarcirme conmigo mismo y salir de mi zona de confort.

Good strategy, I will do it to see how it works. Thanks for this post.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

I approach this similar to ethics... If I can think about my decision being made public for my family to see and I am ok, we should be fine with setting the tone for further engagement.

This could be a great practice to remain focused and productive always whether lonely or not.
I personally agree with the fact that when no one is watching you, you are watching yourself. You will get pardon from everyone but not from you ,if you do silly things like wasting time, doing thing without any direction and just to please someone you have another face mask to show.
If our success is just for showing off , then we must introspect deep inside.
Thanks, @chbartist for raising these untouched yet most important aspects of life.

Great idea! I have never thought to think of a family member or a mentor when at home. I am going to try this new skill and see if I can become a more productive blogger..especially on the weekends!

Yes obviously what about our loneliness or privacy, the actuall and real things we commit. In real you only met with yourself when you are being not watched by any one. @chbartist ever you or any one think about to be an experty, only it could to be done when you are all alone

great idea and very good solution for all steem lover

I love and like steemit , your idea is so good

@chbartist great post..

My question is this: how to overcome bad habits? Like things done in the secret that won't be nice heard or seen in the open?
Thanks in anticipation for your feedback.

You can add me to the community

I add you! You are very welcome @chbartist family! Great name profile! Regards

From my point of view, I think that the perfect society would be one in where our self image could be the same in every situation of our life. I'm always trying to find this self image, 100% me, that I could show to everyone, no matter who.

Hello, I found this post in my feed today and read it, including the notes at the end. I've subscribed to your youtube channel as well. I love what you are attempting to do here and the positive attitude. You make a very good point, that I've never really considered. To act when you are alone with no one watching the same as you would act if someone you really admired was watching - this would definitely bring forth a good effort and focus. I intend to try this when my mind tries to wander off when I'm trying to accomplish something. I'd like to join this community, and be added to your list!

I'm add you! Regards

great @chbartist, indeed we always have to assume that our appearance is still seen by everyone while watching. so we still have images that are not easily changed.

Great article! Just started here on steemit and I'm so glad to see an article like this is the kind of thing trending on this platform. I want to see a massive exodus from the mainstream social media and decentralization of that power so that we aren't seeing "market makers" running our attention span the way they've been running our stock market and media. This gives me some hope that real thinking is actually getting some kind of traction out there, so thanks for posting this

Somehow, it seems unwarranted. I mean, u on the one side acknowledge that loneliness is important for creativity & self discovery and then u suggest possible solution to tackle d dark side of it. Why dont u advice(explicitly) how to symbiotically live with it?
( some might call me lonesome but it might also be that i have just allotted a very low percentage of my time for social interaction & i m peacefully living ).

Yeah I try this time what's the outcome

Awesome thoughts and It is true that we distract when we are alone. Anyway, If I want to add myself in the list you told at the bottom then what is the procedure?

@chbartist be honest as possible.we do so many effots to have impress others in many ways.If honesty may apply in every way, so all be well.

Very good

Solo tienes que ser tu mismo para ser feliz

Hola @chabartist es un placer leer tus publicaciones. Cada reflexión me permite reflejarme. Con cada reflexión confirmo y valoro los aprendizajes y las acciones que me han hecho crecer personal y profesionalmente. Este es otro gran tema. Aprovechar la soledad para ser productivos es una excelente recomendación. De esta manera no anclamos nuestros pensamientos hacia lo negativo o esos problemas perturbadores. Saludos.

Hello my friend!!

You are very right, everyone has to project and think big, without being aware of the opinions of others, regardless of whether they criticize or judge us. We have to create our world but without losing solidarity and kindness, being fair with the other people around us.

Thank you for sharing your teachings!

Your post will be beautiful
