Hello.
I have problems with my self-esteem.
In one popular psychology book (written by not english authors) I found a mention of one method which they explained very briefly.
I wonder where they picked it, is there some serious(not popular) book where it would be good explained. Maybe someone met this method mentioned.
The point of this method is:
1) You choose some person you very much respect and would like to be like him/her.
It might be a real man/woman or some person from a movie/tv-series etc.
2) You imagine yourseft being him and try to behave like that person. At first in the situations when only strangers involved, not people who know you
3) And the theory promises that gradually the characteristics of that person would grow in (or leak in) to your own self concept. And you will change.
Thanks.
