developing oneself

1. Knowing Oneself

2.  Self is the union of elements,
namely: body, thoughts, feelings
or emotions, and sensations that
constitute the individuality and
identity of a person.

3.  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.

4.  If you were asked to describe
yourself, you may probably talk
about your physical characteristics,
your interests, your hobbies, your
skills or abilities or even your beliefs.

5.  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.

7. I know my strength 
 In knowing your strengths, you are more
empowered to do developmental tasks.
These tasks include your capacity to
establish mature relationships with others,
emotional independence and your ability
to demonstrate responsible behaviors.

8. I know my weakness 
 Determining your weakness gives
you the opportunity to know your
limitations or boundaries. In doing
so, you can identify situations where
you have to say no.

9.  Becoming more aware of your
weaknesses is not the end goal
of self-development; rather, it is
its starting point. You must find
ways to enhance your
capabilities.

10. Valuing One’s Self
 We come to value ourselves more
as we understand ourselves better.
Self-awareness starts with
assessing yourself.

11. Valuing One’s Self
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.
