MODULE 1: KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING ONESELF

DURING MIDDLE AND LATE ADOLESCENCE


OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

strengths and limitations and dealing with others better;
2. share your unique characteristics, habits and
experiences; and,
3. start and maintain a journal.
SELF

Is the union of element namely:


Body, Thought, feelings or emotions
and sensations that constitute the
individuality and identity of a person
SELF-CONCEPT

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.
ACTUAL SELF- 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.
SELF-CONCEPT
Refers to the awareness of yourself. It is the
construct that negotiates these two selves. In
other words, it connotes first the identification
of the ideal self separate from others and
second, it encompasses all the behaviors
evaluated in the actual self that you engange in
to reach the ideal self.
Self-knowledge is derived
from social interactions that
provide insight into how others
react to you.
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.
SELF-CONCEPT

IDEAL SELF- 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
ALIGNMENT
is important. If the way that I am (actual self) is
aligned with the way that I want to be (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, of lack of alignment, will
result in mental distress or anxiety.
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.
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.
