You always choose to ignore but this time you can’t stand with it. Feelings/ Emotion: Action: Results of the action: Scenario: The end of the semester is near, and most teachers require you to submit all the outputs in their subjects. But you are still working on them, and you find it difficult to handle the situation. They particularly remind you to comply because you failed in the previous grading period.

Feelings/ Emotion: Action: Results of the action: 1. What did you discover about yourself? 2. Which aspect of personality do you give more priority to be dominant in developing your well- being? 3. How will you improve the weakest aspect of your personality? Who would be responsible in developing one’s personality? Our personality is a product of genetic response that we inherit from our parents and from the influence of our environment. This environment shaped by the people around us, culture and practices that we are being raised and continuously creates social interactions that build relationships. This interaction contributes to who we are today and how we choose and decide for ourselves. Erik Erikson, adolescence stage of Psychosocial development, also known as “identity vs. role confusion” is the stage wherein teens need to develop the sense of self and personal identity. Teenagers start to have circle of friends in which they build their trust. Teenagers also experience adolescence cognitive empathy, known as “theory of mind” which is described as having high regards toward the perspective of others and feeling concern for others. Based on research, teenagers are commonly high risk-takers and impulsive due to incomplete development of frontal lobe during adolescence. The frontal lobe is responsible for judgement, impulse control, and planning. That is why they search for their self-identify and independence which requires guidance from their parents, relatives, and other people like teachers with whom they can share their struggles. They have to be open-minded to the opinion and advise of other people in order to shape their future with broader perspective and self- determination. You cannot escape life challenges so you should know how your thoughts, feelings, and actions in managing personal agency should be handled. Being an adolescent, you should be accountable for all your actions because these power triads (thoughts, feelings, and action) can either make or break your motivation to take charge of life. Thoughts are impression activated by a stimulus in your mind that is evident from the environment that you are in. This conscious thought occupies emotions that give life to thoughts, and it expressed through feelings. Behaviors are bodily reaction made based on our feelings that result to actions. Emotions can direct and control thoughts that sometimes affect your consciousness. As a teenager, it is very important to be focused on your goals. A focused thought will lead to high intelligence. That is why if you are disturbed with your emotion, try to figure out where the emotion is coming from, and it will bring you back to reality.
