“When did you last say “i love you” to yourself?
“Kamusta ka?” … “kamusta ako?” — tengnacino
How much do you really know your “SELF”?
How aware are you that: what makes up your “Hierarchy of Needs” reflect the kind of person that you are? — OR — are you ever mindful of the things that you really need? [ GRAB this opportunity to come-up with your PERSONAL HIERARCHY OF NEEDS]
There are some who aren’t! — and so, UNAWARE as they are, they do not notice that their words and actions are already demeaning others’ lives. Getting used to “tittle-tattle”, they become “influential” — to the point of corrupting others’ concept towards another. Good relationships become blemished because “such influence” won over “some innocent souls”. Without them knowing, they are already inducing others to wear that same “BAND-AID” that they are wearing: Avoidance, Idealization & Defense which originated from CHILDHOOD.
Some of us are “wounded child”! — teng
YET, we never want to GROW OLD without being HEALED! — or, even if we justify that we are not wounded, we still need to DEFINE the PERSON THAT WE ARE so that we won’t be “that innocent soul” who could possibly be instigated by tainted tendencies & intentions of those who do not truly care about themselves — in its real sense!

Many times when we are too focused loving others,,, we tend to forget loving our self. If there are people who are selfish,, there are also who are selfless. Well infact, either of the two has unresolved issues during their childhood. These behavior is very well manifested with the way they treat other people and how they speak about them. Subconsciously, this is also a manifestation of what we call,, our “self-concept”.
The way a person walks, talks, acts and reacts is a created image he projects to make an impression,,, be it acceptable or otherwise. Most often than not, he is judged on the basis of what people see in him and how they see him. Generally, his tendency is to hide his true self to please the eyes of the people around him and meet their expectations regardless of what he truly feels.
Loving oneself means NOT giving anyone the happiness to inflict our self pains and sufferings. It means an opportunity NOT to give anyone the permission to belittle who we really are. It is a gift of inner joy to be able to actualize what we want to do without the fear of being ridiculed, to freely speak our mind without the fear of being criticized, to feel good and look good without the fear of being rejected, to brush off anyone who desires to manipulate without the fear of being left out.
To love oneself is just and right.. especially if loving oneself doesn’t mean harm on anyone. It is also the will of God for we were created in His image and likeness thus our body becomes His temple. Therefore, loving our self is an expression of our love for God. It is then and only then we realize that no matter how big our issues are during our childhood or even at present,, we can still mend them and love our self.

We should love ourselves before we could give love to others. There is saying that we couldn’t give love if we don’t receive love. Loving yourself is accepting yourself from who you are. Accepting yourself from what God have done to you, physically, emotionally and intellectually. Everyone is unique, and everyone has given a divine purpose. We must know what our uniqueness, so that we can bless others more. By accepting our own identity, little by little we feel in love to ourselves which lead us to be contented on what we have.
Likewise, self-love is not selfish. It is self-nurturing. It helps you to gain confidence which plays a huge role in your interaction to society. It shouldn’t depend on your situation or outside factors in your life. Particularly, it is hard to love ourselves when we feel guilty for something. However, let’s us remind ourselves that life is a test. A test that dignifies us on what we are.
Do you love yourself? yes, I do love myself especially when I’ve started serving God. I appreciate myself more and his creation. By doing this, I gain confidence and acceptance from people who surrounds me. My friend told me that the way you delight yourself is the way you want people delight you. It is basically a mirror that people respect you because you respect yourself, as well as people love you because you love yourself.

Do I love myself? Definitely! If I don’t, who would?! 😉 Honestly, we are fearful of others opinion especially if it is something we don’t like to hear. We are sometimes unaware of our personality that we deny them even though it is very obvious. Why? Because we sometimes desire another personality that we think fits us. Or simply, we don’t take criticism very well. I am like that a long time ago. I walk away from a conversation if I sense it will lead to me being criticized. Eventually, I have learned to accept criticism and use it as a basis for my own improvement. It made me realize my investigative type as well as accept my introvert ways. In the end, it felt good because it gave me the confident and security which I rarely had during my younger years. Be true to yourself ba kamo?

Reading this is so timely. I just experienced being a victim of a deceiving colleague that almost smashed the person in me. It caught me off-guard for I never expect things between me and that colleague could turn out as sickening as this. Many days of contemplating was spent for it was really unlikely that I was intentionally emotionally offended by someone I used to look up to.
My first reaction was just to ignore it. Pretend that nothing happened and stay nice to that person. Now that I am writing this reflection, it made me think,” Why did I even want to play victim and stay nice?” And the SELF in me answered “Because I was afraid of making enemies thinking I won’t have a group to belong to in my workplace if I defend myself”. I am afraid of the possibility of not having friends.
Why is this circumstance a big deal to me? This gave me a flashback of my childhood experiences. I realized I am a wounded child. That wound is probably layered with blissful moments after my childhood years, but it is still there, waiting to be suitably healed.
I LOVE MYSELF. It is why I should deal with that wound I just bury in an unfathomable depth inside me. If I won’t, it will always be a tomb at the back of my happy façade. Happiness will just be a dream if I fail to cure my insecurities and fear cause by my childhood experiences.
I think I have a little bit of all those personalities but I believe I am more of the #9 The Mediator. I am more of a someone who always try to make people that are involved in a conflict or misunderstanding come to an agreement because seeing the people around me merry and stress-free is happiness.
And being true to ourselves will be our way to a happier life. It will also lead us to real people and attract true friends in our lives.

Once given task, I usually think of what help I can give. Though I’m not an expert for a certain task, I usually make it to the point that I contribute something. Most of the time I work behind the scenes. It brings joy to the heart if I stand as a Helper.
I consider my self also as a little bit romantic. I love to do some simple sweet little things to my loved ones, like making surprises.(hehe)
Whenever I’m eager to accomplish something, I sacrifice something. Like the reading remediation in school. Instead of taking a short rest or enjoying a nap, I am more interested to teach the children how to read. Paulit-ulit na phonemic awareness para sa mga pupils na nahihirapan sa pagbasa. Giving them some rewards like cookies and jellies let them pursue more to improve their reading. Aja nang ajah! I’m an Enthusiast!
We can’t escape failures, depression, and regrets in our lives everyday. But, shall I say that I’m an optimistic person?
Why?
Everytime I am feeling down, laging sinasabi sa akin ni BRO..
Nene, nakaya mo ngang magtanim sa bukid, nakaya mong mag-igib sa sa balong malalim, nakaya mong tumayo bilang tatay at nanay sa magkakapatid, nakaya mong makatapos, nakaya mo kahit parang hindi mo kaya.

Accepting my wounded past leads me to accept who I am and gave me chance to love myself.

When will i put my self in a stress free environment? When will be it ends? Sometimes, we have to take a risk in order to achieve what we wanted to be. At my age, i should be more fun. Taking vacation, going to places, shopping and totally free. But is this enough? Are these recreational thing will complete me? I guess “not”! Yes, im stress, so stress. But why do i still here? I can stop it all the time if i want to… Haizt!.. God is so good! I feel his embraces. Whenever im feeling down and yet no one is arround, God makes me happy, he does everything to make me happy. Kaya, kumusta ako? Oh well, i feel good, doing great as well coz i believe that God put me on this. He knew that i can do it. As a teacher, it is pleasant for me to do such things that will enhance the knowledge and their skills of my children. I make sure, in my own little way, that before they will go out of the classroom, they have the wisdom and knowledge that i inculcate on their innocent thought. I make sure that i had influenced them the desire to learn. I believe that these challenges will be more easier because God is with me. He knew everything about me and i trust no one but him. I accept all the challenges with God’s grace. So i will call myself as “The Challenger” #8..

People nowadays are too busy. Most of their time goes to school and works. For more than 12 hours we are outside our home. They are always in a hurry. Seems like they have to finished everything at once. With these busyness, how would you express your love to yourself? I mean despite the congested schedules that we have every day, how do you love yourself?! You are good to others, but what about to yourself?!
Before, I was not aware that I have to love myself. All i know is, I care for myself. Never did I tell myself, “Kumusta ka na?” or “I love you!”—-in the past. Nobody told me to love myself, I just heard them saying, “Love yourself before others”. incorporating to Lovelife thingy. So, it’s really true that loving must starts within self. As they said, You cannot give what you dont have. Similarly, you cannot get love without loving yourself first. So I learned to be true to myself. I have to love myself first before I can give my big heart to others. I have to be good to myself for I AM ONLY ONE. THERE’S NO OTHER ME. I HAVE TO BE THE BEST ME. I deserve a treat and a rewards for myself.
We really have to be very careful with the words that we utter especially to our students. We are all aware that words can make or break a person. It has no bones but it is strong enough to break a heart. So, Speak in such a way that others LOVE to LISTEN TO YOU. LISTEN in such a way that others love to SPEAK to you. This is helpful so one could prevent from putting band-AID in his life. Let’s create a difference to the lives of our learners. We want them to grow up HEALED from being a wounded children.
I belong to #1 Reformist. I am so perfectionist that I highly expect one to be functional. I would like everything to be okay and organized. I hate irresponsible people and also one that lacks discipline. I got frustrated over things that didn’t work as I have planned. But then again, I have to respect others. I should have a patient, understanding and sincerest heart when dealing with these people. I should know where my students are coming from. Why they behave like that, do like this, there are many WHYS but I open my heart and mind, giving them
time and not getting tired to listen. I have proven, you wont be a best teacher without winning these circumstances. You have to be an agent of change for these individuals. Never give up on them for you don’t know how they look up to you as an INSPIRATION. ^^

Understanding oneself is a key to understand and love others. Knowing your own strength and weaknesses will enlighten you about the difficulties that others experience. “You cannot give what you do not have.” You cannot love others if you do not love yourself. Other people are extension of ourselves…our family, our friends and people that surround us. What we give to them, they will also give to us. They reciprocate everything we show and give to them.
However, there are always limitations…being aware of how much love to give to others is very important. While pampering others with love and attention make sure to have enough love and attention to yourself. You value yourself as much as you value others. Because how you treat yourself will reflect how others will treat you. Unconsciously, people love you the way they see how you love yourself…same goes with…if you are true to yourself…people will be true to you…just be yourself and love yourself… 🙂

I’m so amazed from the first time I encounter Psychology in my life. I understand more the deep value of love among the people I met. I learn how to see some of the thin line of visible and invisible. The visibility of smile that covers the invisible of sadness; the visibility of strong identity hides the weaknesses of wounded; and lastly the visible pattern of love to others and invincible pattern of self love. It’s easy for us to attend the need of other people around us and sometimes we tend to give all what we have until we end up depleted and empty.
Why we are doing this? According to Dr. Stephen Covey we used the outside-inside approach to get the love we need. For instance we tend to give something to “outside” to take something rewarded “inside”. Rewards that draws approval, security, acceptance and love for yourself. We are thirst about those rewards way before our childhood. Some of us accept and acknowledge it, some where still live on it. We are being dependent “outside” rather than being aware of what happens “inside”. In some scenario, we feel more confident when someone tells us “you can do it”; we feel accepted when someone likes your pictures posted in your facebook account; sometimes we feel more loved when someone touches us or receive a gift from others. Today people are looking for these rewards; I’m surprised that most of us think that outside-inside approach is more effective and easy way to avail love.
We cover up things by our invincible band-aid. We are afraid and avoid the pain runs within; we change our identity for them to accept us, we create our own defences to keep us in our comfort zone. In general perspective, we tend to change dramatically 180 degrees for them to love us. We avoid pain? Okay I will give them what they want, I’m not beautiful? Okay maybe I will buy a new car or do some noses lift, I’m not ready to go out in my comfort zone? Okay I will do the same thing. Growing is impossible if we don’t have an extra initiative and faith to look beyond our physical appearance, not knowing our unique deepest gifts. God give us the power to wisdom, love and active action, use it! Don’t waste your time giving your self away to other people just to accommodate the wounded child within you. Today, be a parent of your wounded child, you are response-able to yourself. Loving yourself is the greatest love of all? Yes it is and I choose to accept and love who I am. I always to choose to help my self first before give something to others. I have my God, therefore I have LOVE within.
Love is like a pulse, you cannot see it but you can feel it inside. Be true to yourself! Be a parent of wounded chid! Inside-Outside approach, work on it! Self discovery!

yes everyone is unique in it’s own ways… sometimes hindi na nga natin iniisip yung sarili natin lagi nalang tayo nakatingin sa iba at pinipilit maging katulad nila kahit hindi naman kaya….
may mga pagkakataon na hindi natin mapipilit ang isang tao na magsabi kung ano talaga sya hanggang sa katagalan na magkasama kayo dun mo lang malalaman o makikilala sila… mahirap makisalamuha sa ibang tao lalo na kung hindi mo matantya ang ugali ng kasama mo… pero bago mo isipin ang iba mas maigi siguro na unahing kilalanin ang sarili bago ang iba…. kung ikaw mismo sa sarili mo kilala mo kung ano ka hindi ka mahihirapan humarap sa iba ng buong buo…
hindi mo kaya magmahal ng iba kung ang mismong sarili mo hindi mo kaya mahalin… may pagkakataon sa buhay natin na nakakalimot tayo dahil sa mga gawain natin pero kahit ano man ang ginagawa natin dapat isipin pa din natin ang ating sarili na manatiling malakas sa lahat ng aspeto dahil kung hindi… lahat ng paghihirap natin balewala…kaya ano man ang mga nangyari sa atin noon masaya man o nasaktan tayo matuto tayong magpatawad at kalimutan ang hindi maganda at manatili na lang ang mga mabuti na makakatulong upang tayo ay magpatuloy sa buhay…. at laging iisipin na meron tayong panginoon na patuloy na nagmamahal sa atin…. we only live ones so we have to treasure every bit of it… kung mahal mo ang sarili mas madali ng magmahal ng kapwa…

DO YOU REALLY LOVE YOURSELF?
Of course i love myself coz if i dont,i wont be exist.
Loving yourself is an important part of enjoying and getting the most out of your life. It’s also crucial for getting and maintaining satisfying relationships with others. Loving yourself is mainly having self-respect, which is the only dependable way to create love in your own life. To be able to be loved, you must love and respect yourself as much as you do others.
Everyone on this earth is unique. We all have different gifts. When you compare yourself to others, it makes you feel bad about yourself. When you compare yourself to others for what they have, whether it is a car, a house, a mate, children, money, good height, a good physique or intelligence, or a job, it makes you feel low self esteem, lose your confidence, and perhaps depressed, envious or jealous.
A way to stop comparing yourself to others is by focusing on your own strength. Get to know yourself, and discover what your greatest gift is that you are meant to share with the world.
Another great way is by practicing gratitude. Be happy for what you have. Really be grateful about everything that you have; people in your life, job, relationships, material, etc. Gratitude keeps your heart open to love.

I belong in a #7, #9 and #2 group. I’m an enthusiast, a mediator and a helper. I am enthusiastic of all the things I do. I love to enjoy the moment and hang out with positive people. I am a mediator. I hate conflicts and resolving it right away is what I really do. Most especially if my family and friends are concern with the issue. I am a helper. In times of trouble, I am a friend that you can rely on to. However, there were times that I feel I cannot give anymore.. kulang na kulang pa.
This course enlightened with me more about myself. I was able to realize that how can I give if I have nothing to give? We must focus on our inner self before anything else. Love yourself and everything else falls into line. If you’re happy, you can give happiness. If you don’t love yourself and you’re unhappy with yourself, you can’t give anything.

I do love myself and contented how God created me, uniquely. I thank the Lord for giving me the personality as The Mediator. I want to be peaceful, natural and comfortable. More importantly, I want to be calm and, if at all possible, to avoid conflict. I also see myself as accepting, unassuming and laid-back. Definitely, I am easygoing and approachable.
I hate conflict, complications and judgmental people. Being shut down, overlooked and not included by others are ything I among my greatest fears. I am afraid of being loveless and of not receiving or being able to give love. Paradoxically, I avoid anger and conflict that can lead to more conflict. I don’t want to deal with anything until you are good and ready. It is hard for you to say no, so yes means maybe and maybe means absolutely not!
But, still I depend on God in everything I do, especially with my fears and conflicts I meet along my way.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” ~ Dr. Seuss (The Lorax)
When I think on this nice quote, the first thing that comes into my mind is that it is so IMPORTANT to care for others! The people who know me well can tell than I am a very caring person. By caring, I am being totally aware of the necessities or the ups and downs of others.
It is part of my personality to care about others. Caring is a feeling, an emotion. I care because I really concern about my friends, family, etc. By caring I hope that others feel supported, accompanied and very happy!
I think other people must feel GREAT when they know that someone is caring about them! They must be feel appreciated, happy, loved and as I said above very supported! And most important, I feel grateful! When someone is caring about me, I feel blessed by the other person.When others take the time to ask me how am I or they smile at me, it is simply the best! I feel appreciated, happy and much loved as well!
Being a caring person has demonstrated to me that indeed caring inspire others in so many levels on their lives. The first thing that I have noticed is the immediately gratitude when I care for another person. When you have an attitude of gratitude, you begin to be more positive and that certainly gives them encouragement to make the needed changes in their lives!

I could say that I’m a giver because I give what I have to people who are dear to my heart specially family members and closed friends. I believe that whatever blessings that God gave us, you need to share it with other people so that blessings would overflow.

God is love.I thought i will not learn to love myself then because i was one of those who never felt the love and care of my biological parents.Indeed God gave me so much of His blessings,care and nurture me with love that i felt from my loving grandparents.I grown up with so much love and care.I never learn to hate myself because of that circumstance,instead i love myself and and share it to others.What will you give if you do not have? Madaling magmahal ng iba kung nag uumpisa ito sa mga sarili natin.Other people are reflection of our own being.
