Building and Establishing Relationship with Others.

The Fight Within Me

January 22, 2021- Sixth day of Personal Development class. It tackles how important mental health is. Especially in the adolescence stage in which multiple changes and challenges occur. In this topic it made me think how important it is to know your inner self so that you can assess your weaknesses and strength for you to appreciate yourself more and pressuring yourself as someone you are not. It is also very important to open up and share your battles so that you will feel at ease. Ask for help if it is too much to handle. I know opening is hard for someone who are used to fighting their battles alone but always keep in mind that God will never leave your side and wilp be their to help you surpass the challenges you are facing because everything happens for a reason. I am also battling my own silent battles, i often cry at night with the expectationa I have on myself, the thoughts if I am making my parents proud or disappointed. But whatever problems and sleepless nights I will face at the end of the day I still need to continue my journey on knowing myself and my purpose, also God will always be with me together with my family who only wants the best for me.

Change difficulties into Challenges

January 22, 2021 - Fifth day of Personal Development this semester. In this changing life, change is rapid and it is unavoidable that often cause extreme stress and lead to long-term apprehension resulting to self-revultion. Accepting the fact that change is inevitable cam help to lessen the burdent we are feeling. Having the feeling of being stress is normal specially to adolescent because we are in between the stability of adulthood and enjoying our teenage life. Demands of the people around us are piling and getting higher drowning us with their expectations.

In thia trying times we need to do things in which we can vent out what we are feeling. Being open and share our burden to our parents, friends and people we trust is a great way to slowly cope up in this never-ending feeling. Reacting positively and resiliently can help us think properly on how to this challenges with enjoyment and responsibility.

I once saw a movie titled "Downsizing" in this movie a married couple decided to shrink their sizes which is a popular solution for over population and poverty. The preparation went well until the wife decided to stop the treatment because she can't leave her own life, leaving her husband the only one who downsize. Knowing this news the man was angry, sad and stress without his wife and the idea on how to keep living and adjusting in this news change. He became eccentric and live his life without thinking the consequences. Casino, drugs and everything. He almost lose all his money and cost his life. That is the moment where he decided to straight up his decisions and slowly starting again from scratch. Accepting the fact that his wife is not with him, he is a few inch tall man, he is alone in his mansion is hard but with the help of his friend and his own will he became to change back into his old self and met a girl whom he love very much and reciprocate his feelings with more affection.

Dealing with the challenges of adolescence stage

January 21, 2020, 4th day of Personal Development class this sem. For todays lesson we tackled the challenges every adolescence have and how it can affect a certain individual but it also highlights that that challenges is always there for the world is constantly changing. This is what makes us strong, facing different challenges all our life help us to think critically and resilient. Facing eaching problem possitively and open-heartedly.

In this lesson it made me realize that some problem begins within ourself and with closest people around us, Our Family. Having intinamte relationship with them is not always the case. Young people often suffer mental problems because they have a bigger expection for their selves. Having challenges and problems is normal. This makes us human. Opening up what we truly feel is a must to help us continue our battles. I myself is a quiet person, i only share my strugle to my parents if it is not that deep, if i know how to handle it and what decision i will do. There is a time wherein realization strike me when my mama told me that i used to be very open with them but as i grew up i tend to be secretive and distance myself with them. Right at that moment, i know i am doing it wrong so now i am really trying my best to be least awkward and share everything i have in mind with them to make them feel at ease. I now ask before i will make decisions but to tell you all the truth, it is really nice to let your heart breath and slowly let go of the boarders you've made. Asking for help is never easy but it is a way for us to keep moving.

Life is an ongoing process of learning

January 20, 2021 Third class of Personal Development this semester. For today's class we tackled 3 different topics under 2 lessons, starting with-- Being mindful with the self, Entering the Middle and Late Adolescence and Peer Social Comparison.Miss Kv highlights all the things we need to help better understand ourselves. Applying the things we've learn to our daily life is a challenging task for us.

In the first lesson which is the Being mindful with the self made me understand that life is a ongoing process and that we are still learning. Minding ourselves to know our weaknesses and strength is a must for us to gain confidence and complexity that later on will be a benefit or us and for the other people around us--society. Putting emphasis that societal is like a domino, us as a living individual can affect a whole were we belong, and this whole can also affect our beliefs, understanding and how we are brought up.

For the second topic which is Entering the Middle and Late Adolescence, taught us that being a teenager is a milestone of changes, we see changes in our body, personal ideas, and how we take up things. Being true to ourself so that we can surpass adolescence in the most uncomplex way. Building intimate friendly-relationship with our peers can help us to be more competent in the future. We need to be more mindful to our decisions and have a space for us to grow and reflect our past mistakes.

Lastly, Peer Social Comparison, as a human being it is unavoidable to compare, we do it to make us feel high about ourselves and to be motivated but comparing also means that you are insecure and have a low self-esteem because you use other people's misfortune to justify your achievements. Comparing for a fact can trigger low confidence and self-esteem. The one we must compare ourself is to ourself only so that we will know what our lapses is and how to surpass our current self and be our ideal.

Divulging myself

January 19, 2021, Personal Development 2nd class for this semester. We were task to present our output that explains who we are, an activity for us to divulge ourself.

Instead of collage, drawing or sketch, I made a painting. It is given for a fact that I enjoy painting and artsy stuff. I consider this as one of my leisure activities, next to scrolling through social media, watching k-dramas and reading novels. I enjoy spending my time alone, peaceful and quiet wherein I can focus in doing my stuff.

I chose this painting because as you can see the girl is looking forward to something unpredictable and colorful, leaving behind its comfort zone. Basing it to my experiences, I like the feeling of having something to look forward.

The combination of colors that i chose is a respresentation of something. Red-- It simbolizes love, passion and joy. I do things out of passion for me to have a motivation to keep going. Love-- I am surrounded of people that i love and care the most. Blue-- It represents calmness and peace in which I really trying to be and to find in these chaotic world. Green-- Reminding me of the memories that i tressured the most and lastly, Black-- Me, being a close and reserved person unless necessary.

Everyone of us have a side that we dont want others to see, but it makes us--"US". Different and unique individuals.

Getting to know one's self

In life there are times wherein we are not sure-- we are in doubt with who we really are. Questioning if everything is worth it. Our actions, decisions and dreams. Reflecting at the end of the day, Am i really happy? Is this genuine? Is what im doing feeds my soul?

January 18, 2021. First day of the second semester. We tackled a lesson that is an eye opener to everyone. Do you know who you are? In every individual, there are different cases. Some people tends to accept criticis and have a great coping mechanism. But there are also individuals who are introvert, just like me. Isolating myself is my forte, putting boundaries on my thoughs and opinions. Receiving criticisms is a heartbreak, used to. Since I always act my best to be part of a certain team. I act accordingly to the people I am with so that I wont feel left out. Acknowledging judgement is hard for me not until i tried being myself.

Way back 9th grade every time I put on jolly act i felt exhausted and I still dont have a group of friends whom I can call "pangmatagalan". At that moment, I decided to stop everything and act accordingly to who I am. I started gaining friends who I know that for a fact will always stay at my side. A friend that is not just for a name. Whatever we show to people everyone will always have their own opinion whether it is good or bad. It is important to receive ones point of view with a positive respond for us to change and improve ourselves for the better. Dont let anyone belittle you that may cause on having low self-esteem.

Be yourself and love who you are.
