WHAT’S IN

Reading: ASPECTS OF THE SELF

The self-concept is represented by several aspects of the self. It is conceived as collection of

multiple, context-dependent selves. This construct believes that context activates particular regions of
self-knowledge and self-relevant feedback affects self-evaluations and affect. A deeper look on the
different aspects of self can identify specific areas for self-regulation, stability and improvement.
In a nutshell, an individual is composed of three basic but very different aspects of the self.
They are the physical or tangible aspects as they relate to the body, the intellectual and conscious aspects as
they relate to the mind, and the emotional and intuitive aspects as they relate to the spirit. All three
aspects of the self-work together in perfect harmony when attention is paid to all three
simultaneously.

Many individuals put a strong emphasis on the physical aspect of the self. The body is tangible,
obvious, and we respond to it easily. More time and money is spent on enhancing the physical
component than either of the other two aspects. This does not mean, however, that the body is
healthy or strong. The body provides a place to house the spirit (often experienced as feelings) and the
mind (often experienced as thought).

It may be important to some that their mind be prominent and well educated. The mind is
important, as it is the part of the self that directs the other two aspects. The mind learns what to do
and communicates the information to the body and the feelings. What the mind believes, the body
manifests or acts on, and the emotions feel, or respond with. People store both healthy and
destructive thoughts and beliefs and responds to life's circumstances in the most prominent manner.
The mind provides access creativity and serenity which are necessary for such processes as prayer,
forgiveness, acceptance, and passion.

The human emotions are the most feared aspect of the self, as individuals are reluctant and
unprepared to manage them. Managing feelings is like trying to hold water in the palm of your hand.
They are illusive and deceptive. A decision made under emotional stress and strain usually impacts
emotions negatively. Negative emotions that are not managed are stored and repressed. Repression is
 destructive to a content self since all feelings, not only negative ones are stored away. Accessing
feelings when they are needed now becomes difficult, leaving the individual numb and hopeless.

For instance, a girl realizes that she is giving much attention on the physical aspects and less
attention on her intellectual self. In this way, she can discover how much money and time spent
maintaining her physique and its consequences in her grades. By this honest evaluation of herself, she
can plan effective actions to improve her study habits. She can start seeking for help and for related
books to read or browse articles to help her improve her study habits.

Reading: THE STORY OF THE TWO WOLVES

The following is an old Cherokee Indian story that is enlightening and helpful. One evening an old Cherokee told his
grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all."
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-
pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy,
peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The
same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and
then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed".
Knowing which wolf to feed is the first step towards recognizing you have control over your own self. Have
you ever had thoughts, feelings or acted in ways that were unacceptable to yourself but felt powerless to control?
The purpose of this story is to help you find ways to manage your mind so that you can live your life more in
accordance with what your own judgment says is best for you. As we grow up, we gradually become aware of the
many things in the external world which are largely beyond our ability to control. These include other people in
general and most events in our lives. Initially this is difficult to accept, but a more shocking realization is that there
are many things about ourselves that we seem powerless to control.
Some of these are our own thoughts, feelings, and actions which unfortunately can be the source of
much distress. It may be thoughts such as “I cannot stop hating my teacher for not giving me high grades.” It may
involve an emotion e.g. “My girlfriend left me and I cannot stop feeling sad, lonely and unloved.”
It can also be in the form of a behavior such as the inability to control one's craving for food such as cakes
and chocolates.”
But are we indeed really powerless to control our own maladaptive thoughts, feelings and
actions? The grandfather’s answer "The one you feed" is deceivingly simple. The results of psychological
research indicate that there are at least four important concepts or ideas implied by the answer:
1. The mind is not the unitary entity it seems to us but consists of different parts.
For example, in the story there are the two wolves and the “you” that chooses between them.

2. These parts of the mind/brain can interact and be in conflict with each other i.e.
 the two wolves fight for dominance over our mind and behavior.
3. The “you” has the ability to decide which wolf it will feed.
4. Having made a choice, “you” can decide specifically how to “feed” or nurture the
selected wolf.
