HOW DO YOU
PERCEIVE
YOURSELF?
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT INVENTORY

Look at the results of your self-

concept inventory and answer
the following questions.

ALPINE SKI HOUSE

SELF-CONCEPT INVENTORY

1. In what areas do you consider

yourself strong (with score 14-16)
or somewhat weak (score of 10-
13) and very weak (below 10)?
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT INVENTORY

2. Are there qualities you consider

as your weakness but other
people consider as your strength?
What are these?
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT INVENTORY

A lady can say “I`m ugly”

yet others consider her
very charming.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT INVENTORY

Or conversely, one can have the illusion

of saying “I am very intelligent or
competent” when most of his ideas
sound unreasonable or illogical to most
of the people.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT INVENTORY

There is indeed a big difference

between what you see in yourself (real
self-image) and what is projected in
the eyes of the others (your social
image).
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT INVENTORY

How realistic is your self-

image? To what extent does it
reflect your real self?
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT

Imagine yourself looking into a

mirror. What do you see? Do you
see your ideal self or your actual
self?
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
ACTUAL SELF

• It's the self that has characteristics that you were

nurtured, or in some cases, born to possess.
• constructed on self-knowledge
• who we actually are
• It's how do we predict, how do we feel, look and act.
• our self-image
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
IDEAL SELF

• the self that you simply aspire to be

• the one that you simply hope will possess
characteristics like that of a mentor or another worldly
figure.
• how we would like to be
• an idealized image that we've developed overtime
• what we admire in others
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT

The actual self and the ideal

self are two broad categories
of self-concept.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT
•refers to your awareness of yourself

ALPINE SKI HOUSE

SELF-CONCEPT

There's no negotiation that exists between

the two selves which is complex because
there are numerous exchanges between
these selves.

ALPINE SKI HOUSE

SELF-CONCEPT

These exchanges are demonstrated in

social roles that are adjusted and re-
adjusted, and are derived from outcomes of
social interactions from infant to adult
development.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT

It is the construct that negotiates these two selves. In

other words, it means first the identification of the
ideal self, and second, it includes all the behaviors
evaluated in the
actual self that you engage in to reach the ideal self.

ALPINE SKI HOUSE

SELF-KNOWLEDGE

The actual self is

constructed on self-
knowledge
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-KNOWLEDGE

…comes from social

interactions that provides insight
into how others act to you.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-KNOWLEDGE

The actual self is who we

actually are. It is how we think,
how we feel, look, and act.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-KNOWLEDGE

The actual self can be seen by others,

but because we have no way of truly
knowing how others view us, the
actual self is our self-image.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT

The ideal self, on the other hand, is how we

want to be. It is an idealized
image that we have developed over time,
based on what we have learned and
experienced.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT

The ideal self could include components of

what our parents have taught us, what we
admire in others, what our society
promotes, and what we think is
in our best interest.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT

Alignment is very
important.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT

If the way that I am (the actual self) is

aligned with the way that I want to be (the
ideal self), then I will feel a sense of mental
well-being or peace
of mind.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT

If the way that I am is not aligned with

how I want to be, the incongruence, or
lack of alignment, will result in mental
distress or anxiety.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT

If the way that I am is not aligned with

how I want to be, the incongruence, or
lack of alignment, will result in mental
distress or anxiety.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SELF-CONCEPT

The greater the level of incongruence

between the ideal self and real self,
the greater the level of resulting
suffering.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

The ultimate aim is bigger self-

knowledge that may cause higher
alignment between these two
personality domains.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
PERSONAL
EFFECTIVENESS
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
PERSONAL
EFFECTIVENESS
•making of the private resources, talents,
skills energy and time to enable you to
achieve life goals.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS

Your knowledge of yourself and

therefore the way you manage
impacts directly on your personal
effectiveness.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS

Our individual effectiveness depends

on our essential characteristics-talent
and skill accumulated within the
method of private development.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
TALENTS

Talents first are needed to be

identified then developed to be
used in an exceedingly selected
discipline
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
EXPERIENCES

Experiences include knowledge

and skills that we acquire within
the method of cognitive, and
practical activities. ALPINE SKI HOUSE
KNOWLEDGE

Knowledge is required for setting

goals, defining an action plan to
attain them and risk assessment.

ALPINE SKI HOUSE

SKILLS

Skills also determine whether

real actions are performed in
accordance with the plan.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SKILLS

If the identical activity is utilized

again and again within the identical
situation, then it becomes a habit that
runs automatically, subconsciously.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SKILLS

1. Determination - It allows you to

focus only on achieving a specific goal
without being distracted by less important
things or spontaneous desires.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SKILLS

2. Self-confidence - It appears in the

process of personal development as a
result of getting aware of yourself,
your actions and their consequences.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SKILLS

Self-confidence is manifested
in speech, appearance,
dressing, walk, and physical
condition. ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SKILLS

3. Persistence. It makes you keep

moving forward regardless of
emerging obstacles – problems,
laziness, bad emotional state, etc.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SKILLS

4. Managing stress. It helps

combat stress that arises in daily
life from the environment and
other people.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SKILLS

5. Problem-solving skills. They

help cope with the problems
encountered with a lack of
experience.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SKILLS

6. Creativity. It allows you to

find extraordinary ways to carry
out a specific action that no one
has tried to use.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SKILLS

7. Generating ideas. It helps

you achieve goals using new,
original, unconventional ideas.
ALPINE SKI HOUSE
SKILLS

Idea is a mental image of an object

formed by the human mind, which
can be changed before being
implemented in the real world.

YOU NEED TO TAKE
CHARGE OF YOUR
FUTURE

Bo Sanchez
 There are three
kinds of people in
this world:
The first is the
Moviegoer.
This person watches
the movie of his life,
admires some parts
and criticizes others.
Aside from that,
they do nothing
else.
All he says the whole
day is, “I like this
thing but I don’t like
that thing.”
The Moviegoer feels
he has absolutely no
control of his life ---
except to comment
about it.
The second is
the Actor.
This person does
not only watch
the movie of his
life.
He actually realizes
he’s the Actor – and
can control a big
part of his life.
He can actually make or
break the movie – by
how well he delivers his
lines and how he
portrays his character.
 Actors are happy bunch
people realizing they’re the
star of the show, and enjoy
some levels of control.
 But many times, they
wish the movie would
end in a different way –
but realizes that they
have no say in such
things.
The third is the
Scriptwriter.
 This person does not
only watch, act, but he
actually creates the
entire movie from his
mind.
He determines what
he will say, what he
will do, and how
the movie will end.
 He realizes he has
enormous control over
his life, and sees to it
that the movie of his
life will turn out
beautiful.
 Who are you
among these three
people?
Do you merely
watch your life
goes by?
Or do you act out a
script that you feel
has been handed to
you?
Or do you write the
script and make
your life beautiful?
By the way, the
Producer of the
movie is God.
 He tells you, “Make the
movie beautiful, and I will
give you all that you need
for success.”
 Write…
write…write..
 The pen is such a
powerful tool in
taking charge of one’s life
as well as in fulfilling
one’s dreams.
