Instructions: 1. 2. 3.

Choose a leader. Choose a mascot. Think of the different parts of our body that start with letter P. Write this part in a piece of masking tape and paste it on that part of your body. Example: P palm.

What initially comes to your mind when you were asked to group together? What did you feel when you were chosen by your group mates to lead the group? What did you feel when you were chosen by your group mates to be the mascot of the group? What did you feel when you were not chosen? How did you work as a group? What have you become after the activity?

Man by nature is a social being, does not live in isolation but has to relate with other people.
His relationship with others results in the formation of a group that will help him develop his personality.

Think about yourself for a moment. What are you really like? Are you outgoing oR shy? intellectual or non-intellectual? aggressive or calm? considerate or uncaring? Try to come up with a list of 5 traits that reflect the way you respond to your world.

In compiling with your list, you choose personality characteristics that you feel are enduring part of your make up as a person. It is this enduring, distinctive thoughts, emotions and behaviors that characterize the way we adapt to our world and comprise what psychologists call PERSONALITY

is the development of the organized pattern of behaviors and attitudes that makes a person distinctive.

behaviors. Essentially, people act in the same ways or similar ways in a variety of situations.

COMPONENTS OF PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

 Be polite and speak

sweetly. Society gives respect to a person who has control over his speech.

Keep away from lies, fraud and deception. G.D. Broadman said sow a work and get a habit, sow a habit and get a character, sow a character and get a fortune.

Believe in healthy competition. The path of all success is filled with thorns. There is no hindrance in the path of downfall, but the sooner we lift the first step towards progress, we start facing difficulties.

The importance of positive attitude. The real beauty of a man lies not in his physical appearance but in his work and good qualities.

Anger and irritation are your enemies. People who get angry and irritated habitually do not realize that this habit of theirs will be a hindrance in path of their personality development and they will become their own enemies.

Spare time for social service Our deep feelings and responsibility towards society makes us good and responsible citizen.

Develop your creative power. Channel your energies in creative work because our creativity and positive tendencies can pay us dividends.

Know the value of time. The door of progress and development remain open for the person who knows to utilize and make best use of these moments.

It's how much you value yourself and how important you think you are. Good self-esteem is important because it helps you to hold your head high and feel proud of yourself and what you can do. It gives you the courage to try new things and the power to believe in yourself. It lets you respect yourself, even when you make mistakes.

Make a list of the things/skills/talents you're good at. It can be anything from drawing or singing to playing a sport or telling a good joke. Then add a few things to the list that you'd like to be good at.

Give yourself three compliments every day. Don't just say, "I'm so
great." Be specific about something good about yourself, like, "I was a good friend to Kate today" or "I did better on that test than I thought I would. Before you go to bed every night, list three things in your day that really made you happy.

Remember that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it is. Do not worry about your weight or size. Remind yourself of things about your body that are cool, like, "My legs are strong and I can dance really well.

Remember that there are things about yourself you can't change. You should accept and love these things because they are part of you.

When you hear negative comments in your head, tell yourself to stop. When you do this, you take the power away from the voice inside that discourages you.

By focusing on the good things you do and all your great qualities, you learn to love and accept yourself the main ingredients for strong selfesteem! Even if you've got room for improvement (and who doesn't?), realizing that you are valuable and important helps your self-esteem to shine.
