Reading: SELF-CONCEPT
Imagine yourself looking into a mirror. What do you see? Do you see your ideal
self or your actual self? Your ideal self is the self that you aspire to be. It
is the one that you hope will possess characteristics similar to that of a mentor
or some other worldly figure. Your actual self, however, is the one that you
actually see. It is the self that has characteristics that you were nurtured or,
in some cases, born to have.
The actual self and the ideal self are two broad categories of self-concept.
Self-concept - refers to your awareness of yourself. It is the construct that
negotiates these two selves. In other words, it connotes first the identification
of the ideal self as separate from others, and second, it encompasses all the
behaviors evaluated in the actual self that you engage in to reach the ideal
self.
The actual self- is built on self-knowledge. Self-knowledge- is derived from
social interactions that provide insight into how others react to you. The actual
self is who we actually are. It is how we think, how we feel, look, and act. The
actual self can be seen by others, but because we have no way of truly knowing
how others view us, the actual self is our self-image.
The ideal self, on the other hand, is how we want to be. It is an idealized
image that we have developed over time, based on what we have learned and
experienced. The ideal self could include components of what our parents have

 taught us, what we admire in others, what our society promotes, and what we
think is in our best interest.
There is negotiation that exists between the two selves which is complex because
there are numerous exchanges between the ideal and actual self. These exchanges
are exemplified in social roles that are adjusted and re-adjusted, and are
derived from outcomes of social interactions from infant to adult development.
Alignment is important. If the way that I am (the actual self) is aligned with
the way that I want to be (the ideal self), then I will feel a sense of mental
well-being or peace of mind. If the way that I am is not aligned with how I want
to be, the incongruence, or lack of alignment, will result in mental distress or
anxiety. The greater the level of incongruence between the ideal self and real
self, the greater the level of resulting distress. Personal development modules
ultimate aim is greater self-knowledge that will lead to higher alignment between
these two personality domains.

Reading: PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS

Personal effectiveness means making use of all the personal resources –
talents, skills, energy and time, to enable you to achieve life goals.
Your knowledge of yourself and how you manage yourself impacts directly on
your personal effectiveness. Being self-aware, making the most of your strengths,
learning new skills and techniques and behavioral flexibility are all keys to
improving your personal performance.
Our personal effectiveness depends on our innate characteristics – talent
and experience accumulated in the process of personal development. Talents first
are needed to be identified and then developed to be used in a particular subject
area (science, literature, sports, politics, etc.).
Experience includes knowledge and skills that we acquire in the process of
cognitive and practical activities.
Knowledge is required for setting goals, defining an action plan to achieve
them and risk assessment.
Skills also determine whether real actions are performed in accordance with
the plan. If the same ability is used many times in the same situation, then it
becomes a habit that runs automatically, subconsciously.

Here are some skills that will greatly increase the efficiency of any person
who owns them:

1. Determination. It allows you to focus only on achieving a specific goal

without being distracted by less important things or spontaneous desires. It
may be developed with the help of self-discipline exercise.
2. Self-confidence. It appears in the process of personal development, as a
result of getting aware of yourself, your actions and their consequences.
Self-confidence is manifested in speech, appearance, dressing, gait, and
physical condition. To develop it, you need to learn yourself and your
capabilities, gain positive attitude and believe that by performing right
actions and achieving right goals you will certainly reach success.
3. Persistence. It makes you keep moving forward regardless of emerging
obstacles – problems, laziness, bad emotional state, etc. It reduces the
costs of overcoming obstacles. It can also be developed with the help of
self-discipline exercise.
4. Managing stress. It helps combat stress that arises in daily life from the
environment and other people. Stress arises from the uncertainty in an

 unknown situation when a lack of information creates the risk of
negative consequences of your actions. It increases efficiency in the
actively changing environment.
5. Problem-solving skills. They help cope with the problems encountered with a
lack of experience. It increases efficiency by adopting new ways of
achieving goals when obtaining a new experience.
6. Creativity. It allows you to find extraordinary ways to carry out a specific
action that no one has tried to use. It can lead to a decrease or an
increase of costs, but usually the speed of action is greatly increased when
using creative tools.
7. Generating ideas. It helps you achieve goals using new, original,
unconventional ideas. Idea is a mental image of an object formed by the
human mind, which can be changed before being implemented in the real world.
For generating ideas you can use a method of mental maps, which allows you
to materialize, visualize and scrutinize all your ideas, which in turn
contributes to the emergence of new ideas. These are just some, but the most
important personal effectiveness skills which make the achievement of any
goal easier and less costly.

Most failures emanate from weaknesses that are not recognized or probably
recognized but not given appropriate attention or remedy. This could be a weakness
in communications, personality or ability. Instead of giving up or indulging in self-pity,
take action. Go for speech lessons, get skills upgrading, attend personality
development sessions or whatever appropriate remedies to your perceived Instead

now they have won international fame in the field of music.

Reading: Story: YOU NEED TO TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR FUTURE

There are three kinds of people in this world:
The first is the Moviegoer. This person watches the movie of their lives,
admires some parts and criticizes others. Aside from that, they do nothing else.
All she says the whole day is, “I like this thing and but I don’t like that
thing.” The Moviegoer feels she has absolutely no control of their lives ---
except to comment about it. Moviegoers are the most pathetic, miserable people in
the world.
The second is the Actor. This person does not only watch the movie of her
life. She actually realizes she’s the Actor – and can control a big part of her
life. She can actually make or break the movie – by how well she delivers her
lines and how she portrays her character. Actors are a happy bunch, realizing
they’re the start of the show and enjoy some level of control. But many times,
they wish the movie would end in another way – but realize that they have no say
in such things.
The third is the Scriptwriter. This person does not only watch, and she
doesn’t only act, but she actually creates the entire movie from her mind. She
determines what she will say, what she will do, and how the movie will end. She
realizes she has enormous control over her life, and sees to it that the movie of
her life will turn out beautiful.
Who are you among these three people?
Do you merely watch your life go y?
Or do you act out a script that you feel has been handed to you? Or
do you write the script and make your life beautiful?
By the way, the Producer of the movie is God. He tells you, “Make the movie
beautiful, and I will give you all that you need for success.”

Reading: THE POWER OF JOURNAL WRITING: UNFOLDING YOUR PERSONAL JOURNEY

The purpose of journal writing is to help you become the Scriptwriter of
your life. There are four (4) practical reasons to maintain a journal:

1. It is cost-efficient and available. Emotional stress can be dealt in many

ways like talking to a friend over a cup of coffee, eating, travelling,
shopping, painting and many more but writing is the most inexpensive.
Notebook and pens are easy to find, available and do not cost so much.
2. It is preventive and pro-active. Writing yields self-awareness. When you
write, you can discover your strengths and limitations. You will know what

 your reactions are in different situations and what better ways to
prevent, avoid, or face your fears.

3. It is creative and productive. Journal writing expounds your imagination.

You can see various dimensions of your problem, different points of view and
better solutions.
4. Lastly, it is personal and private. Unless you want to share your stories,
you have the choice to keep them to yourself. Writing is your time alone. It
is your way of loving yourself. You will not be judged by your writing.

You just need one (1) notebook to maintain a personal journal. You may use
these questions as you write in your journal:

1. How do you find this day? What are the positive things that happened? What
are those things that made you irritated or upset?
2. As you reflect the ups and downs of your day, what may be the greatest
lesson you can learn from them? What actions have you done well and what
actions you can do better?
3. What do you really want in life? What do you want to achieve for yourself,
your family, your community, and your country?
4. As you close the day, what are the small and big things you are thankful of?
Who are the people that made your day extra special?

Portfolio Output No. 2:

1.1 Write your answers in your personal journal.

1. What have you discovered in yourself?

2. What are your core strengths?
3. What are the qualities you want to hone and improve on?
