Looking In on Your Outlook
What is your outlook on your appearance and physical abilities? Do you feel positively or negatively about your body? Self-concept and self-esteem are related, and they can change as we grow, learn, and experience more of life. Some of the factors influencing the development of self-concept and self-esteem are our own past experiences, memories, feelings, and hopes and dreams.
Factors outside yourself affect your self-concept and esteem, including how others react to you, messages in the media, and expectations of familt, peers and members.
It is possible for you to change the way you think of yourself. Do you think it's time to do a U-turn in your thinking?
Let's Take a Moment to Think More About U
Do you realize that you are Unique? Or do you feel Ugly? Do you feel like your body is Useful or Useless? Do you feel Uncertain about what it's capable of doing? Are you doing your Utmost to find out, and to stay active? Who is this guy named Umberto anyway? (And where is your Umbrella?) Do you think you have a positive future or do you think that's Untrue? Maybe it's time for you to do a mental U-turn.
