“ I do my things and you do your thing. I am not in
this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find
Each other, its beautiful.
If not, it can’t be helped.”

-Frits Perls
 The self is an individual person as the object of its own
reflective consciousness. Since the self is a reference by a subject
to the same subject, this reference is necessarily subjective. The
sense of having a self - or selfhood - should , however, do not be
confused with subjectively itself. Ostensibly, this sense is directed
outward from the subject to refer inward, back to its “self’( or itself).

Your self is your basic personality or nature, especially

considered in terms of what you are really likes as a person. Youre
looking more like your usual self . A person’s self is the essential
part of their nature which makes them different from everyone and
everything else.
 The first-person perspective
distinguishes self-hood from personal
identity. Whereas “identity” is
(literally)sameness and may involve
categorized and labelling, self-hood implies
as first-person perspective and suggests
potential uniqueness. Conversely, we use
“person” as a third person reference.
 NATURE OF SELF
A natural self is metaphysical
dependent on the body from which is states
emerge and upon which they supervene, and
it survives no longer than the body does; but
it does not have the same identity conditions
as the body and neither are the mental states
of the self reducible to physical states of the
body.
Dimensions of Self- Care

1. Physical Self- care involves your fitness and sleep

habits. This area also includes stress management,
your dental/medical check-ups. 50 minutes of
physical activity helps release endorphins as well as
build strength and cardiovascular endurance. In
addition, physical activity has proven to help you
sleep better and feel better.
2. Intellectual Self-care involves your
personal growth and continuous pursult for
learning. This also includes engaging in new
things, practicing mindfulness, and keeping
a positive mindset. Take a much needed
break from the millions of thoughts you
experience every day! Also setting an
attainable fitness goal such as regularly
attending classes (even online), and then
sticking to this goal will help with personal
growth.
3. Social self- care involves having a
supportive network of people. This
group of people is one you can turn to
when you need uplifting or guidance.
Connections built help to create a sense
of belonging and acceptance.
4. Spiritual Self- care involves the
beliefs and values that help guide your
life. This includes practices that help
nourish your soul, seek understanding,
and explore your spiritual life. Slow
down and focus. Consequently, this
allows you to be in touch with each
muscle group that's working. Being in
touch with your self is part of the
spiritual self-care dimension.
5. Emotional Self- care involves awareness. This includes awareness

of your feelings and emotions and dealing with stress in a positive

way. It also entails cultivating a sense of compassion, kindness, and

love for yourselves and others. The simple act of working out signals

the body to release endorphins and other stress-reducing hormones to

be able to deal with your emotions in a more positive way.

What is Self-
Awareness?
- The first step in creating what you want and mastering it. Where you can focus your

attention, your emotions, reactions, personality and behavior determine where you go

in life.

- Having a clear perception of your personality, including strengths, weaknesses,

thoughts, beliefs, motivation, and emotions.

- Self-awareness involves paying attention to oneself and consciously knowing one's

attitudes and dispositions. This mindful understanding comprises awareness of

sensations, emotions, feelings, thoughts, the physical body, relationships with others,

and how these interact.

Your Self-made Wall of Negative Self-talk

1. It's just no use!

3. That's just my luck!
4. I'm so clumsy!

7. I can never afford the things I want
8. I never have enough time!

The Self-Management Sequence

1. Life is not a matter of luck or fortune.

2. Success in self-management is always the result of something

else, something that leads up to it.

3. Most of what happens to you happens because of you

something you created, directed, influenced, or allowed to
happen.
Other Concepts:

➤ Behavior means our ACTIONS:

- How we act, what we do, each moment of each day will determine whether or not we will be successful
that moment or that day in everything we do
- What we do or do not do

➤ Feelings

- How we feel about something will always determine or affect what we do and how we will do it
- Our feelings will directly influence our actions.
- Our feelings are created, controlled, determined, or influenced by our attitudes.
➤ Attitudes:

- Are the perspectives from which you view life

- Good attitudes are created controlled, or influenced entirely by our beliefs "The difference between
a good day and a bad day is your attitude"

Beliefs:

- What we believe about anything will determine our attitudes about it, create our feelings, direct our
actions, and influence us to do well or poorly, or succeed or fail Belief is a power to make something
appear to be something different than what it really is!

- Belief does not require something to be true it only requires us to belleve that it's true.
 Programming our conditioning from the day we were born has created, reinforced, and
nearly permanently cemented most of what we believe about ourselves and what we believe
about most of what goes on around us.

Therefore,

1. Programming creates beliefs

2. Beliefs create attitudes

3. Attitudes create feelings

4. Feelings determine actions

5. Actions create results

 LEVELS OF SELF-TALK

the most harmful level of self-
talk You say something bad or
negative about yourself, and you
accept it "I can't "If only I could.

change
surface it looks as though it
should work for us, but instead,
it works against us.
LEVEL 3 Decision change Is the first level of self-talk that
works for you. You recognize
the need to change, but also
you make the decision to do
something about it You state
the decision in the "present
tense" like "I never..." "I no
longer

LEVEL 4 Better you The most effective kind of self-

talk You are painting a
completed new picture of
yourself. "This is me I want
myself to create" "I am..." "Yes
I can."
LEVEL 5 Universal Affirmation Self-talk which has been
spoken for thousands of years
Self-talk of "oneness" with
God. "It is... "I am one of the
universe and it is one with me.
I am fit, within it, and exist as
a shining spark in a firmament
of divine goodness
