 MODULE 2
MY LIMITATIONS
4 CHARACTERISTICS OF HEALTHY SELF
• Healthy Self is realistic – evaluating yourself needs
to be object and based on concrete experiences
and specific situations. To evaluate your blindly and
excessively produces a negative self-concept and a
very low self-esteem. Clinging to an untrue self-
image or picture of your real self can lead to a
wrong image of yourself. To have a realistic self
means being real in accepting both your positive
and negative traits and qualities.

essential that you engage in a continuing process
of evaluating yourself.You can constantly evaluate
your qualities and traits that need to be changed.

flexible enough to adjust appropriately to the
changing situations and conditions of life.

process that you desire in your real self requires a lot
of willingness and openness to change. Nobody can

better person means having the courage and

change. Being real means having the will to
synchronize your thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
 MODULE 2
MY LIMITATIONS
4 CHARACTERISTICS OF HEALTHY SELF

people may be willing to change but are not able to do
so because they lack the skills to change. When people
lack the skills for change, the real self loses its change
to improve itself and might stay stagnant over a period
of time. These skills for change can be developed by
seeking advice from authorities and getting support
from others. This may also be done by observing good
role models and being inspired by their shining
examples.

positive and negative traits and qualities.

 MODULE 2
MY LIMITATIONS
STRATEGIES TO DEVELOP THE IDEAL SELF
• Never make the weaknesses of the real you as an
excuse to hurt other people.
-To be real does not mean to show other people
the worst that you are. Some people think that to be real
means to show even their bad behavior and ill feelings

your thoughts and feelings but with courtesy and respect
to other person. Becoming real also means that saying
what you really want to say with a sense of responsibility.

develop a real self.

problems. Unreal persons invite ridicule and even draw
themselves to danger. Honesty, modesty, and humility are
the qualities of a real person. Discipline also makes a
person more real and genuine.
