behave in a certain way is normal and is
actually beneficial in increasing self-
awareness.

consistent set of
perception of and
beliefs about
oneself”

How I should be “actual self”
Who is your ideal self and your

to some other man. The true nobility is in
being superior for your previous self.” - Hindu
Proverb

SELF-ESTEEM - it refers to
one`s overall assessment
of one`s worth as a person
one`s self worth
It has been documented that there is a
relationship between low self\esteem and
violence, school dropout rates, teenage
pregnancy, suicide, and low academic
achievement (Mesitech-Delis-Abrams,
2003, para.5)
Hayes and Fores (1990) report that
LOWER SELF- ESTEEM is often the
reason why young girls engage in
premarital sexual relationships and is
more likely to be responsible for teen
pregnancies than any other single
factor.
They found that as self-esteem
decreases, sexual attitudes and
behavior become more permissive
(”some interesting” 2017).

belief about his or her ability and capacity to
accomplish a task or to deal with the
challenges of life.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVES, OUR SELF ESTEEM

myself just I am,
then I can change.””

our psychological self. Being informed of what
affects and make up our self-concept will enable
to protect ourselves and process information and
influences better

We will never be able to avoid negative


experiences but can always choose to learn from
them and use it as our advantage and for our
In creating our ideal self, let us FOCUS ON THE
POSITIVE AND GOOD.

motivation for our real
self to strive attain not
for revenge or to pull
down others but for the
greater good. Our self-
esteem may dwindle
As long were given the gift of life, we just
have to decide everyday to invest in
ourselves.

Hopefully, we can help others as well to learn how


to take better take care of the psychological
selves. Our psychological self is an aspect of
ourselves that have the immense impact on our
entire being on our present, our future, our
relationship, and the society we belong.
