RELIMINARY ACTIVITY
Choose or look for a partner and sit together face to face. S/he could be one of your housemates, a
family member, a cousin, or a parent. Just make sure your partner can understand and follow the
instructions.

Get a piece of paper and make two columns. In the first column, write five characteristics that best
describe your physical self. Look at the sample below.

HOW I DESCRIBE MY PHYSICAL SELF

Now, all pens down. Set your timer to 2 minutes. Take 2 minutes of silence. During
these minutes, I want you to look at your partner. Try to observe his/her physical
appearance but never tell your observations to him/her.

After 2 minutes, you may exchange paper with each other. In the next column,
write five physical characteristics that best describe your partner. Just like the
sample below.

THIS IS MY PAPER

THIS IS MY PARTNER’S PAPER

1. What is the name of your partner for this activity? How are you related to him/her?

- Her name is Pia, she is my cousin

2. Did you and your partner agree on the characteristics that you think physically describe you?
Why or why not?
- We both agreed with on how we described one another because it is facts and accurate.

3. What descriptions of yourself in your partner’s list do you have questions about?

- I think it’s the sexy thing, I gain weight this quarantine so I don’t consider my self as sexy, But
truth be told, some of my friends really think I have that kind of physical feature but I don’t
really see it to myself.

4. Did you include in your descriptions the negative aspects of yourself? Why or why not?

- I didn't list negative characteristics since they would only make me feel horrible about myself,
therefore I try to be joyful and confident all the time.
HOW CAN I IMPROVE

together with your submitted worksheet in the Gclass Classwork section. Make sure to cite the sources
if needed.

VALUATION AND ASSESSMENT

Write a 300-word reaction essay after watching the videos for inspiration. Make sure to provide three
strong and important truths (1 truth per video) that you can now live by on this topic about the physical
self.

Because of my rash judgments and unrealistic beliefs, dealing with me can be difficult. I define myself
as a person who always gives it her all and tries hard to make everything easy, also a good woman who
is always willing to assist others and prioritizes people. I'm always ready to learn new things and explore
new topics. I'd also describe myself as someone who is still trying to figure out how to contribute in
whatever way I can.

I understood that it's not just about how you look on the outside, but also about how you treat yourself.
We are frequently a diametrically opposed representation of one's beauty. We are far too hard on
ourselves, and we lose sight of how magnificent and gorgeous we are in our own unique ways. There
are also a times when we need to look at ourselves through the eyes or perspective of others to make
sure we are deserving of love and appreciation.

In my own adaptation about the clip. My body type is very different now than it was when the pandemic
began. I worked out for almost five months, but due to the resumption of classes, I now only work out
sometimes and concentrate on schoolwork. However, as I watched this, I understood that males had
their own issues with physical insecurity and beauty. They are obviously insecure about their features
and tend to compare themselves to others. Take strength and inspiration from the men who have come
before us. They desire to be welcomed and loved for who they are and how they appear. At the end of
the day, looks are merely a bonus.

- What I like about this video is how we can be too hard on
ourselves at times, or even all of the time, and forget how
magnificent and lovely we are in our own special ways. There are
times when we need to look at ourselves through the eyes of
others to confirm that we are who we say we are.
We are certainly deserving of praise and affection.

- I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this video. Finding video recordings of males discussing
attractiveness and physical insecurity proved to be quite tough. However, as I observed
this, I was struck by how much guys struggle as well. They won't be outspoken about it the
way women do, but that doesn't mean they aren't concerned. Let’s take notes from these
four extraordinary and courageous men.

INTROSPECTION
Three things that I have learned about myself from this module:
1. I learned that I am capable and accountable to my own special ways
2. I learned that my physical self needs improvement, but it doesn’t mean that I am not worthy.
3. I learned that you are a masterpiece of the Lord so don’t degrade and look down to yourself
just because of what the worlds throws at you.
