Keep in Mind
You are now in Grade 12 which is the last level in basic education. Hence, it would be
important that you are aware on your adjustments as a teenager in the different
developmental aspects of personality. How do you think you’re dealing with it?

A group of researchers led by Amanda Eller states that a balanced person might
develop an active role by interpreting the expectations of the social actors from
the home and work domains and from other institution. It is where he/she studies
and adopts boundaries with degrees of permeability that enable a state of
greater balance between the said domains. When it comes to life, happiness, and
well-being, there isn’t one single area of life that we need to focus on. Instead,
life is multi-dimensional and dynamic.
The following dimensions will guide you on the areas to focus and improve.

Your adolescence period is a good time for you to take more

Physical responsibility for your physical health. You can learn to make healthy
food choices, be active, and engage in your own healthcare. It is
highly recommended that you have at least 60 minutes of physical
activity each day. Suppo rt from family and friends will help increase
your physical activity as adolescent. In addition, learning the healthy
habits like drinking enough water and eating enough fruits and
vegetables, is important to
maintain your good nutrition. Valuing your physical health by taking
care of your body through the following: exercise regularly, eat a
healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight, get enough sleep, keep up
with vaccinations, brush and floss your teeth, and avoid listening to
loud music.
The following dimensions will guide you on the areas to focus and improve.

It is important for you to maintain good mental health habits,

Mental
including coping, resilience, and good judgment among your age
group to achieve overall wellbeing. It sets the stage for positive
mental health in adulthood. Mood swings, for example, are common
during adolescence. Some adolescents might experience a serious
mental health adjustment, such as depression and/or anxiety
disorders, at some point in life. That is why for a healthy mental
aspect, you as an adolescent must remember that talking about your
feelings with a trusted person can help. He/she could be a member
of your family or a close friend. Definitely he/she can support you in
maintaining a sound mind and positive outlook in every challenge as
an adolescent.
The following dimensions will guide you on the areas to focus and improve.

Emotional
The adolescent healthy emotional development is marked by a gradually increasing
ability to perceive, assess, and manage emotions. This is a biological process driven
by physical and cognitive changes and heavily influenced by context and
environment. You generally become more aware of your own feelings and the
feelings of others, but these perceptions may still be weak. You sometimes might
expect to keep your emotions from interfering with performance in school, task and
other activities, but doing so may be challenging in a complex environment. You may
be excited to take on new challenges to become more independent, whereas others
may need more support to build confidence. The process of emotional development
gives you the opportunity to build skills, discover unique qualities, and develop
strengths for optimal healthy emotion.
The following dimensions will guide you on the areas to focus and improve.

Social
You as an adolescent must continue to refine how you relate with others. Questions
like “Who am I?” and “Who do I want to be?” may direct you to have a deeper
understanding of yourself. You may adopt the values and roles that your parents
expect from you and later on develop your own identity that might be different from
your parents but similar with your peer group. This is common as peer relationships
can become a central focus in your life. It is recommended that you build
relationship with your peers through social interrelated activities. You may establish
healthy relationship with them through freedom to be yourself, mutual respect of
both people in the partnership, support, privacy, boundaries and communication.
The following dimensions will guide you on the areas to focus and improve.

Spiritual
Religion has a strong influence to our country even up to now. The teenagers who
are guided and nurtured by a clear belief system and spiritual activities are much
less likely to go off the rails during adolescence. The experiences and observations
you have in your spiritual aspect could continuously refine your belief system. It is
better to be surrounded by adults who can be your good role model and a source of
inspiration to improve your life direction than to be with people who are very prone
to be off-track in life.
 Therefore, after internalizing the five
dimensions of human individual, it is
important to include personal development
plan to manage your strengths and
weaknesses.
A Personal Development Plan is an action
plan for self-development within the context
of education, relationships, career, or for
self-improvement. It provides an awareness
and reflection that will help you set and reach
personal goals and improve on various
aspects of your life across various life stages.
