 Guidelines in Using this Module
Dear SHS Learners,

Welcome to this course, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, or PERDEV for short. This is a very interesting
course, and can become the most personally rewarding for you, because the subject matter for this course is
YOU!
As a new senior high school student, you have now entered a new educational level, as well as a new
psychological and social level, called the middle and late adolescence. You may feel that you are no longer
the rapidly growing and awkward teenager, but you also feel you are not quite ready to call yourself a mature
adult either.
This course shall make you take a deeper look at yourself and analyze your developmental changes,
your skills and traits which can help you meet the various tasks that you must undertake at this point in your
life. It shall provide you with some techniques to meet stress and other mental health issues with one’s
strengths and coping powers. The course shall also give you the chance to analyze your relationships with
your family, friends and community. Finally, the PERDEV course shall help you take stock of where you are in
your career development and how to get to where you want to be.

Sincerely Yours,
Personal Development Teacher

Part II. Learning Exploration

ASPECTS OF THE SELF

The self-concept is represented by several aspects of the self. It is conceived as collection of multiple,
context-dependent selves. This construct believes that context activates particular regions of self-knowledge
and self-relevant feedback affects self-evaluations and affect. A deeper look on the different aspects of self
can identify specific areas for self-regulation, stability and improvement.
In a nutshell, an individual is composed of three basics but very different aspects of the self. They are
the physical or tangible aspects as they relate to the body, the intellectual and conscious aspects as they
relate to the mind, and the emotional and intuitive aspects as they relate to the spirit. All three aspects of the
self-work together in perfect harmony when attention is paid to all three simultaneously.
Many individuals put a strong emphasis on the physical aspect of the self. The body is tangible,
obvious, and we respond to it easily. More time and money are spent on enhancing the physical component
than either of the other two aspects. This does not mean, however, that the body is healthy or strong. The
body provides a place to house the spirit (often experienced as feelings) and the mind (often experienced as
thought).
It may be important to some that their mind be prominent and well educated. The mind is important, as
it is the part of the self that directs the other two aspects. The mind learns what to do and communicates the
information to the body and the feelings. What the mind believes, the body manifests or acts on, and the
emotions feel, or respond with. People store both healthy and destructive thoughts and beliefs and responds
to life's circumstances in the most prominent manner. The mind provides access creativity and serenity which
are necessary for such processes as prayer, forgiveness, acceptance, and passion.
The human emotions are the most feared aspect of the self, as individuals are reluctant and
unprepared to manage them. Managing feelings is like trying to hold water in the palm of your hand. They are
illusive and deceptive. A decision made under emotional stress and strain usually impacts emotions
negatively. Negative emotions that are not managed are stored and repressed. Repression is destructive to a
content self since all feelings, not only negative ones are stored away. Accessing feelings when they are
needed now becomes difficult, leaving the individual numb and hopeless.
For instance, a girl realizes that she is giving much attention on the physical aspects and less attention
on her intellectual self. In this way, she can discover how much money and time spent maintaining her
physique and its consequences in her grades. By this honest evaluation of herself, she can plan effective
actions to improve her study habits. She can start seeking for help and for related books to read or browse
articles to help her improve her study habits.
