Quarter 1 - Lesson 2
I Can be Better
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 lesson offers an opportunity for you to go through the things mentioned earlier and hopefully
get to upgrade your understanding of yourself and others.
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.
