I Can Be Better
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. identify the different ways on how to help the family and community;

situation;
3. assess the different changes as an adolescent in terms of abilities and potentials;
4. determine the areas or situations where the similarities and differences could be of great help; and
5. appreciate the role of the familial duties in building relationships with family members
Introduction
As you grow old, you realize that your abilities and potentials become more refined compared to those in the
previous years. Expectations are also adding up. You might be more focused on how you do things your way, but
now you may be starting to see how you affect your family and community. You need to account now how your
self-control matters to your family and community.
Moreover, you get to appreciate your similarities and differences with others and its role in dealing with the current
situations. Can you imagine if all of us are thinking or living the same way? How would that affect your duties in the
family and your relationship with family members?
This module offers an opportunity for you to go through the things mentioned earlier and hopefully get to upgrade
your understanding of yourself and others.

Keep in Mind!
Steps to Self-Discipline

Self-discipline is defined as an ability to take control of yourself particularly your behavior, emotions and
impulses from committing thoughtless and irrational behavior. It usually results in unpleasant and negative
experiences. It takes time to develop self-discipline and it requires certain level of awareness to fully understand
how it works.
One important thing that you must learn is how to control your emotions in dealing with different
situations in your family and even in your community. Self-discipline could mean being on top of your
emotions and the best way to do it is to learn them first.
Most of the time, emotions direct people’s actions or behavior. For instance, if you are happy, you tend to
smile, do simple acts of celebration, or even talk to your family or friends about it. When you are sad, you tend to
isolate yourself from people, you don’t have energy to continue your daily tasks, or even keep yourself in silence.
Humans react based on how we feel. Managing emotion is a good skill which forms part of self-discipline.
Here are some pointers to manage your emotions well:
1. Recognize your emotions. Be mindful how you feel on a certain situation. For instance, whenever
thoughts about school work come to mind, how do you feel about it? It is important for you to differentiate your
thoughts from emotions. Thoughts are usually ideas while emotions are feelings. Know that there are
positive and negative emotions and both are normal part of your life.

2. The next thing to do is to name your emotion. Whenever there is a situation at home or even
in the community, can you name your feelings? With the current crisis, what do you feel? With the distance-
learning modality, what feelings best describe you now? You may say “I feel… happy, sad, angry, excited,
scared, anxious, etc.”

3. Describe the intensity of your emotion. It is important to know how your emotion looks like or
sound like? Some say that we are not supposed to make decisions at the height of our emotions. For
instance, when you are too happy and somebody asks you a favor, you tend to say “yes” easily without
thinking of the consequences.

4. Try to understand what your emotion is telling you as it gives you clues or messages. Appreciate
how and why you felt it and if it needs certain actions. For instance, if you feel angry, do you need to act on it? Or
can you just feel and let it go after?

5. Take time to be with your emotion and try not to make it cloud your ideas. Remember, your
thoughts and feelings are two different things though they are interconnected.
