DISCUSSION:

SELF
It is the union of elements, namely body, thoughts, feelings or emotions, and sensation that
constitutes the individually and identity of a person. The BODY constitutes your physical attributes,
your health, and your posture and poise. Your THOUGHTS, the way you think, and how you perceive
things around you affect how you feel about them and bring about sensations. This EMOTIONS and
SENSATIONS that you experience prompt you to act and behave the way you do. The union of these
elements makes up your CHARACTER and PERSONALITY and essentially distinguishes you from
other. If you are ask to describe yourself, you may probably talk about your physical characteristics,
your interest, your hobbies, your skill or abilities, or even your beliefs. Physical attributes such as
height, and skin complexion, as well as psychological characteristics such as temperament, may be
inherited from your parents; some attributes and traits, however, may be brought about by
environmental factors. Some of your traits may be similar to your other siblings or to some of your

peers, but no two individuals are exactly alike. Thus, you are unique, and that makes you special. In
trying to understand yourself better, perform the following activity.

ACTIVITY I: “MY UNIQUE SELF”

This activity aims to gather some of your thoughts and feelings about who you
are and how you perceived yourself. This also aims to give you an opportunity to express your
thoughts and your feelings about yourself with your peers through group sharing. Finally, this
activity hopes to promote creativity by expressing yourself with your peers in a unique way. In this
activity, the concept of self –actualization will also be introduced. SELF –ACTUALIZATION refers
to the achievement of your potential through creativity, independence, and an understanding of
the real world.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. On your journal notebook, use crayons to draw symbols that would best illustrate your
thoughts and feelings about who you are.
2. Then, answer the following questions;
a. How did you feel about the activity?
b. What symbols, figures, or drawing best illustrate who you are? Why?
c. What do you think have influenced such traits or characteristics?

Self-awareness starts with assessing yourself. Based on the previous activities, you were able
to assess and write your personal observations. These components are important in
assessing ourselves. More so, these components require you to pause and analyze what you
think, feel, and do. Thus, you were also encouraged to use your journal and reflect on some
questions about who you are. Introspection, or your ability to reflect and think about your own
thoughts, feelings and actions, is essential in understanding and improving yourself. But aside
from your self-assessment, you have to listen and accept positively the feedback you get from
others, as well as their opinions about you. Listening to the feedback of others is important
because it allows you to validate your perceptions of who you are. When you listen to
positive feedback, you feel energized and you become more enthusiastic because you
are affirmed, your worth as a person was recognized and, in this way, you feel more confident of
yourself. However, not all kinds of feedback are positive. We call this kind as criticism or negative
feedback. When you hear criticisms, you tend to get angry and may even deny what others
have observed about you. Thus, you have to be smart to determine the accuracy of the
feedback that you receive from others, which you can do by consulting a trusted friend or
classmate. Also, you may see your guidance counselor whom you can share your thoughts and
feelings and discuss your experiences. By becoming aware of yourself, you are more equipped to
accept yourself and be more open for self-improvement. Also, a deeper understanding of who you
are allows you to see your potentials, thus utilizing them to the fullest. Becoming self-aware helps
create your own individuality and promotes wiser decision-making when confronted with critical
issues in life such as setting goals, making career choices, and relating with significant others.
Further, awareness of your strengths boosts your self-confidence; hence, you are able to do
what others realistically say that you can do. As your self-awareness increases, so does your
sense of security because you trust yourself and you feel secure as to who you are. This, in turn,
promotes your capacity to establish healthy relationships with others. Finally, self-awareness gives
you a clearer direction in achieving your goals in life.

ACTIVITY II: REFLECT UPON!
