MODULE 2.

Unpacking the Self

Assignment #2: A Worthy Louisian Missionary Professional

▪ Physical Self - It serves a great importance in terms of self-confidence in the setting of my

career. A positive body image and acceptance of my body will provide the self-confidence I
need. The healthcare professional-patient connection is built on trust and confidence,  I improved
health outcomes and a better patient experience are the result of a trusting relationship between
them. We recognize the value of self-care and self-confidence for health professionals who assist
others, because we must present ourselves in the best way we can physically as it is the first step
on how we can gain the patients trust.

▪ Material/Economic Self - It is significant in the sense that health professionals must be

properly groomed and  we must portray ourselves in the most respectable manner possible,
therefore we must invest in personal hygiene as well as the clothes and accessories we wear at
work. I can express myself through clothing and other items that should accurately reflect who I
am. It's significant since it displays my professional identity, patients will respond positively to
this because they recognize that I have a good reputation.

▪ Political Self - The political self, as an important part of the self, organizes self-relevant
information about politics, as well as its own knowledge in constitution, government, and
governance. Every person should be aware of what is going on around them. This will be a great
practice for self-awareness, which is extremely beneficial for efficient daily life activities
because it helps us to adapt our behavior to various situations based on our actual skills.

▪ Digital Self - When we define the digital self, we're referring to the self as it exists in digital
spaces. My online presence is difficult to control; as a result, I must carefully manage my online
identity to ensure that my public image is presented in the best light possible. To secure and
empower the digital self, and to treat everyone fairly and respectfully, we must regard the digital
self as sacred as other aspects of the self and treat it as such.

▪ Spiritual Self - Our spiritual selves established a set of values, principles, and beliefs that give
my life purpose, and then used them to guide my decisions and actions. Because it demands us to
focus on our own ideals and strive on becoming a better person, our spiritual self can be
considered of as a road toward self-realization. It helps me in comforting the chaos within,
allowing me to begin feeling and honoring what my heart desires, as well as having the courage
to make the necessary changes in my life.
