MY LIFE BEHIND MYSTERY

My Self-Concept

My self-concept is the way I feel about myself. I am as positive as my actions. I feel good when I act in positive ways. Positive makes positive -- and negative makes negative. I don't feel good when I act in negative ways. Thoughts, action, and feelings ar all connected.

My family and friends influence my self-concept. Succes and happiness are feeling good about who you are, what are you doin, and with whom you are doing it.

We all have needs for a healthy life. We have physical, intellectual, and emotion needs. I am resposible for my own wellness -- for caring for my bdy and my mind. Doing positive actions formy physical and intellectual health makes me feel good about myself -- I feel healthy and strong, and I am excited by ideas.

Each person has eigth gifts (resouces): time, energy, possessions, money, talents, tought, actions, and feelings. Manging our gifts is a positive action. When I manage my feelings: fear, frustration, anger, discouragement, worry, loneliness, jealousy, pride, gratitude, and love.

When I treat others the way I like to be treated, I am acting in a positive way. Respect means looking for the good in others. Empathy means thinking how others feel. Friendliness means smiling and saying hello. Kindness means helping others. Cooperation means sharing with others. Positiveness means feeling good about myself and helping others feel good about themeselves.

Self-honesty means telling myself the truth. It means knowing myself and choosing positive actions that are right for me. I know my strengths and weakness. I admit my mistakes. I don't blame others. I keep my word. I resist peer peresure.

Self-improvement means putting together the intellectual, physical and emotional (thoughts, actions and feelings) so I can always be growing and improving to reach my full potential. I act goals. I must reach my goals: believing in my potentials, having the courage to try, turning problems into oppurtunities , and being persistent.
