MARRERO,REZEL S GSELF, BSAC 2 Taking Care of Yourself Self-care is important to maintain as it produces self-confidence and self-esteem. I think it is not selfish to love and prioritize our self. Self-care is a necessity that makes us realize our self-worth and make us the best version of ourselves. Self-care doesn’t just about physical care but as well as our psychological aspect of our life. We knew already the purpose of our existence through our spiritual aspect but caring about our psychological aspect makes our life worth living. Martin Seligman, one of the proponents of positive Psychology had proposed a five element that was believed to help promote well-being and happiness, called PERMA Model. The five positive elements are: Positive (P), Engagement (E), Relationship (R), Meaning (M), and Accomplishments (A). To achieve such thing as fulfilled life, an individual can work forward with the use of the five Elements by Martin. Under (P) Positive emotion, I need to spend time with people who matters. These people are family, friend, and all the people who are close to me that radiate positive energy. Spending a moment with them may help lighten my mood and spark positivity towards me. The people that matters are also the person whom I can truly trust. Being with them can make me become my real self and be able to act comfortable around them though I have so many shortcomings. This helps me also slowly boost my confidence. Under (E) Engagement, It is important for me to identify my strength. In order to do so I have to evaluate myself on where I am good at and where can I excel better. If I am good at singing and during one activity in our class require a certain performance related with singing then I can provide something with my strength. Each individual has their strength and this strength can be used to improve a better engagement with other. Under (R) Relationship, It is important for me to show positivity. Being positive can help me build stronger relationship with others. It is natural for us to be a social being and this natural behavior is a thing that I can use to have a good relationship with my family, friends and others. As I observe in my circle of friend a friend who have more jolly personality are more approachable that those whore are very silent. I also observe that it is very likable to have such friend who is always positive because they can really radiate positivity. If I can practice this positivity then I may able to build good relationship with others too. Under (M) Meaning, I need to practice discovering meaning. Finding meaning of everything I do can help me do things and persevere to the things that I want. An example is my studies; if I do not find meaning in pursuing my studies then I may lose the drive in studying. So I should always find meaning in everything I do in order not to lose track of my goal. Meaning makes our life more colorful and makes us moving despite of many problems we face. Under (A) Accomplishment, The need to be patient and to persevere is a must in realizing accomplishment. In practicing being patient I need to be able to wait without complain and while waiting I need also to persevere. An example is this pandemic, waiting for it to be over is really hard but I should practice being patient because I know God has a perfect timing for everything and while waiting I should be able to persevere more in my studies even though it is really hard to study online....
