1. In what Aspects of Development does each of the self aspects belongs?

Each of these Aspects of Development are namely, Physical self, intellectual self, emotional self,
interactional self, sensual self, nutritional self, contextual self, and spiritual self. All these are a part of
my self-development which I can all relate to.

- To develop these aspects, I would set goals for myself and achieve them. In regards to physical self, I
would take care of my body more and exercise more often. In intellectual self, I then be more studious
and study more. Whereas in emotional and interactional self, as I have stated, I would express myself
more to people I’m close with and talk to others too.
WHAT’S MORE
Directions: Read and comprehend the following situation given below and answer the questions that
follow.

Questions:
1. If you were one of Therese’s classmates, how would you feel and how would you react to what you are
witnessing?
-As her classmate, I will give her the space she needs since I, myself, can relate to and can understand
what she’s going through at the moment. Since we are classmates, I. myself, would know how busy and
stressful the day is because of the final exams. This is an important day for us students therefore, I’d
really understand her situation.

2. Identify and explain the five aspects of a whole person in relation to the details of Therese’s story.
The five aspects I’ve observed are physical aspect, which was mentioned as Therese not having enough
sleep; the interactional aspect, as narrated with her interaction with her family; the emotional aspect,
contextual aspect, and spiritual aspect.

3. What is your conclusion?

-What I could infer is that all these self-aspects are all related to each other and can affect one another.
From how you think and feel you could affect the people around you with how you’re behaving and
influence other people and your surroundings. The way you feel about yourself, your self-esteem, drives
your thoughts. These thoughts transform into actions. The actions that you take are the key factors in
getting what you want out of life.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

Directions: Write your understanding relative to the Aspects of Development in relation to one’s
thoughts, feelings, and behavior
Reflection
I’ve learned that the only things we can control in life are our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

If we can manage these, we can achieve our goals and gain success in life. We need to know ourselves

and improve our aspects of development. We need to learn about the patterns behind our emotions,

feelings, and thoughts, and how to manage them. If we know how our minds work, if we know what our

bodies need, if we know what we emotionally need, we can be intentional about influencing our
thinking,

mindset, and feeling patterns. We can evaluate reality more clearly, make better decisions, and improve
our ability to achieve our goals.

WHAT I CAN DO
Directions: Below is a diagram to show on how you will develop yourself holistically with emphasis on
your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Write 2-3 ways you will take to develop yourself holistically.

Lesson 2: Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors for Holistic Development

WHAT I KNOW
Directions: Analyze the diagram below and answer the following questions.
Questions:
1. What have you understand with the diagram?
-What I’ve understood is that your thoughts and mindset affect your feelings and affect the way you act
or behave. It could also be about how your thoughts affect your emotions, and your emotions affect the
way you behave. All these three influence each other and have an impact on one’s attitude or behavior.

2. What is the role of what you think, in your feelings and actions?
-The role of your mindset or how you think, serves as the source of everything which basically reflects
your actions. It may have a direct effect on what emotions you feel on a certain situation or on how you
behave. Just like in communication, the thinking process is the sender of how you feel and how you
behave.

3. What is the role of your actions, with what you think and feel?
-Your actions are the receiver of your feelings and behavior. It is influenced by what emotions feel
regarding a certain thing, person, or experience, and is also influences by your behavior.

4. What is the role of your feelings, to what you think and your actions?
-Your feelings, may it be anger, sadness, grudge, happiness, or glee, directly affects how you behave on
that certain situation. It is also the receiver of whatever things you are thinking or what you are setting
your mind into.

5. Is it possible to realize any of these in the absence of any one of it?

-It is not possible if there is an absence of any of them. Thoughts, feelings, and behavior are all
connected and are influenced by each other. All these affect our actions and what we do towards our
peers, family, or in a certain situation.

WHAT’S IN
Directions: Recall the situations that you experienced recently. Write them in the columns provided.
Identify your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors regarding with the specific situation. Write also in the last

WHAT’S NEW
Directions: Read and reflect “The Story of the Two Wolves”. Notice the symbolism that the two wolves
stand for. Answer the questions below after reading the story.
Process Questions:
1. What do the two wolves stand for?
-The two wolves stand for the good in you or your strengths, positive thinking, positive characteristics
whereas the other one stands for the evil in you or your weaknesses, negativities, and negative
characteristics.

2. How do you nurture your thoughts?

- We can nurture our thoughts by maintaining positivity in our minds and being optimistic towards our
encounters in life.

3. Why is it that we should nurture our positive/good thoughts?

-By nurturing our positive thoughts and emotions, even in the face of terrible events, people can reap
both short-term and long-term rewards, including managing stress levels, lessening depression, and
building coping skills that will serve them well in the future.

4. How are you aware of the two different opposing “wolves” operating within your mind, one of which
leads to pain and diminished sense of life and the other to a joyous, meaningful, and fulfilling life?
- I am aware that the two wolves operating in my mind have two different personalities. The first one
being the good wolf that it is, leads to a joyous, meaningful and fulfilling life. The latter is the bad wolf -
for it leads to pain and a diminished sense of life. Every time we make a decision, we always think ahead
of the things that may possibly happen. This is what we called conscious thinking. By doing this, we are
being kind and considerate to other people.

5. When was the time you feel disappointed by the choice of behavior because you knew that there was
a more positive option but you just didn’t choose it?
-The last time was when my family went on outing and I wasn’t able to go with them but instead, stayed
at home.

WHAT’S MORE
Directions: Study the thought cycle diagram below. Answer briefly the question that follow.
1. Which of the two cycles do you prefer (the unhealthy cycle or the positive cycle) to have a good life?
-Of course, between the two cycles, I prefer the positive cycle so much more to have a good life.
Choosing the positive cycle gives you so much more control in life and your experiences. It lessens your
distress and issues that you have to tackle since you can handle these more positively now and make
better and healthy choices or decisions.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

Directions: Illustrate the connections of your thoughts, to your feelings, and to your actions and how are
you going to nurture your positive thoughts in order to have a positive life. Consider the essential parts of
a paragraph.
Reflection
What I understood is that, when you look at a person and try to understand this individual, it is good
to consider the five aspects and what it is about this person that makes him or her unique from yourself
and from other people. Understanding a person holistically means that one aspect cannot be seen in
absence from the whole person. It is the psychological or how thinking, feeling, and behaving interacts
and happens in a person. I’ve learned that the only things we can control in life are our thoughts,
feelings, and behaviors. If we can manage these, we can achieve our goals and gain success in life. We
need to learn about the patterns behind our emotions, feelings, and thoughts, and how to manage them.
If we know how our minds work, if we know what our bodies need, if we know what we emotionally
need, we can be intentional about influencing our thinking, mindset, and feeling patterns. We can
evaluate reality more clearly, make better decisions, and improve our ability to achieve our goals. I also
learned that the mind is not the unitary entity it seems to us but consists of different parts just like the
two wolves aforementioned.
WHAT I CAN DO
Directions: Evaluate your own thoughts and feelings of the following situations. Make your plan on what
are you going to do. Take into consideration of nurturing the positive thoughts in you.

Test II: Thought + Feelings = Actions

1.You failed to get on top in one of the academic contest you have participated.
- What I would do in this situation is that I would accept what happened, learn from my experience, and
maybe try again if another chance or opportunity resurfaces.

2. Your friend’s mother died during the COVID-19 Pandemic, you cannot attend during the burial because
of your location.
-I would be very downhearted that I would not be able to attend the burial because of my location, so
instead, I would give her my most heartfelt condolences.

3. During the COVID-19 Pandemic you volunteered as front liner. Your classmates, teachers and
community members show appreciation to you.
- I would be very honored that they have shown appreciation since being a front liner in this pandemic is
really not easy. Many front liners have given so much effort and help to patients and people to reduce
the negativities of this health crisis. They are a hero and are very worth showing our gratitude to and
giving our love and support.

4. Normally, as teenager you have developed an intimate relationship with the opposite sex. People
around you in the community rumored false statements about your relationship.
-If I know to myself that these statements are not true then I have no reason to give them my attention
and time since I, myself, know what the truth is about our relationship. We would both stay strong and
overcome the hurdles together that we face along the way.

5. During this time of pandemic you are not allowed to go out because of your age. You felt bored inside
your house
-Since I would not be allowed to go out, I will indulge myself to activities and recreational things at home
like baking, dancing, singing, drawing, painting, gardening, sewing, and so much more. I think I wouldn’t
even be bored at home just as long as I have a freedom and permission from my parents to do all these.
