IV. ACTIVITY (Lesson 3)

A. (“You” Through Others’ Eyes)

This activity has two parts that try to compare how we look at ourselves against how people
perceive us depending on how we present ourselves to them. For the first part, list ten (10)
qualities/traits or things that you think define who you are around the human figure representing
you.

Loving, Good man, The head quickly warmed up, Sociable, Shy, Not so perfect, Quite polite, Quite
not sometimes good, Happy man, God-fearing

For the second part, in the space below, write “I am Renz Phillip Lacsamana (your name). Who do
you think you are based on how you portray/present yourself to others? Write the words that you
usually hear others say about you. Indicate whether the description is positive or negative.

I’m Renz Phillip, someone around who will tell you what you’re good or bad at first, when you tell
me you’re a good man even though I know my face is right but it’s positive for me because I haven’t
asked for much from me. Myself what I have I accept because the lord gave it to me, secondly,
skinny big eyes so it is said that addiction is negative to me because they don’t know what you really
are my man but even so they don’t listen to what they say to me because I know myself that I’m
good and I’m a loving person and I don’t step on anyone so that’s why I can say that you always need
to be positive in life don’t listen to what other people are telling you who don’t even know what
you’re focusing on on goal.

Compare what you wrote about yourself to those words you usually hear others say about you.
What aspects are similar and which are not? What aspects are always true to you? What aspects
are sometimes true or circumstantial? What aspects do you think are not really part of your
personality? Write your answers below.

I compare myself to what is being said about me. This is arrogance. I don’t think it’s true because I
know in myself that I don’t need to brag and it’s not true because I don’t have to say anything or do
anything for them to see it. For me that’s why it’s not part of my life.

B. APPLICATION

DIRECTIONS: Do a research and list 10 things to boost your self-esteem or improve your self-
concept. Cite your sources. Analyze which of those tips are more likely to backfire and make
someone conceited or narcissistic and revise them to make the statements both helpful to the
individual as well as society in general.
Have a positive attitude - In order for us to be able to achieve anything in life, we must first believe
in ourselves, that we can achieve amazing things, and that it is not only possible but also likely that
we will. If you can find the source of your own self-doubts, you are halfway towards overcoming
them.

Don’t be ashamed to talk to friends - Although we might think it is rude to do so, it is very important
that we speak to people who we feel will listen to us. This way we can get some feedback on how we
are doing, and if anyone tells us that we do have something to learn, then it is our turn to try and
improve ourselves.

Get up and get moving - We need to realize that we are never going to do anything well, unless we
actually have to. So, even if you do have a job, take a few minutes and go for a walk, or join in with
an exercise class, and then sit back and enjoy yourself for a little while.

Do something with a purpose - This may sound like common sense, but many of us end up doing
things for nothing other than the thrill of doing something different and trying something new. Even
if it is only doing your weekly shopping or going for a drive, taking part in something for a reason is
far more beneficial than simply going along for the ride.

Put things off until the next day - The problem is that when we get things done early on, then we
forget about them later, and it takes a lot longer to put them off. So, try to plan everything out in
advance so that you don’t have to work this hard.

Listen to your body - When we are trying to improve our self-esteem, we tend to focus too much on
our outward appearance, rather than the inside of our bodies. But, the fact is that the whole of our
being is inside us, and it is important to accept this rather than being concerned with our external
appearance.

Make sure you eat right - Remember, eating the right food helps us feel good about ourselves,
because it gives us energy and is a great way to ensure that we are ready for whatever comes our
way. It is also important to remember that when we are feeling down, it is very easy to give up, but
when we eat healthy food we make sure that we are full, this gives us more energy and will help to
boost our self-esteem.

Set time aside for yourself - One of the best ways to boost our self-esteem is to set time aside for
ourselves, this is not just a time for doing something different, it is also a time where we can enjoy
some alone time. It can be an ice breaker, it can be a time when we get together with our friends or
family, it can be even a time when we get a bit of alone time and just reflect.

Write down your goals - If you want to improve your self-esteem, you need to set goals for yourself.
Whether you are aiming to lose weight, stop smoking, or be more successful in your workplace, you
need to set short and achievable targets so that you are motivated to achieve them. Remember, this
is your life, and you cannot do everything at once, it takes consistent effort and a long-term plan.

Have fun- Remember, it is all about enjoying yourself, and having fun is one of the best ways of
improving your self-esteem.

If we can achieve these 10 ways to boost our self-esteem, we are well on our way to making a
positive change in our lives. We have to start by changing our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves,
but after that, all we need is to take action
