• Self-knowledge


  Provides insight into how others react to you
• Self-image


  How others view as to who you are
• Personal Effectiveness


  Making use of all the personal resources – talents, skills, energy and time, to enable you to achieve life goals
• The actual self is built on self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is derived from social interactions that provide insight into how others react to you.
• The actual self is who we actually are. It is how we think, how we feel, look and act. 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.
• The ideal self, on the other hand, is how we meant to be. It is an idealized image that we have developed over time, based on what we have learned and experienced.
• If the way that I am (actual self) is aligned with the way that I want ot be (the ideal self), then I will feel a sense of mental well-being or peace of mind. 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.
