For example I didn't play sports for years because I didn't think it was me, too fast paced, too competitive etc. For various reason's I have gotten quite into fitness and outdoors activities such as cycling and tramping. I really feel that I was missing out all that time, the sports have really helped build my confidence and energy levels.

I think you're right that the usefulness of this technique depends on your self-image.
Since I'm a growth-oriented person, anything with a growth element has at least some appeal to me. Consquently, I tend to be drawn to things that are new and different. On the downside I can get quickly bored with the familiar.
