Self Actualization

Self Actualization

Is a complex theory about understanding our own self, there were many studies done on the subject because people are really curious to understand themselves, such as why they do some of the things they do, like certain things and also attracted to a type of person? There many different names to the studies done on this subject one such study I am really interested in are self-esteem. Self esteem has two different levels of self-esteem, there’s low self-esteem and high self-esteem. As you can already tell by their names low self-esteem is when a person does not have high regards for themselves, these individuals are often loners, they always have a sense that they do not belong anywhere and no one likes them or want them around, they are often refrain from showing emotions and not well kept physically, often these people suffer from severe depression and often suicidal. Low self esteem individuals usually can’t find any good qualities in themselves. Usually due to a bad childhood and child abuse, usually the end result.
Having a high self esteem means that person thinks highly of themselves and usually perform higher in school and in society, these individuals are usually are happier than most because they are always on a natural high about themselves, it’s usually hard to bring that individual down, because of the self love they have for themselves, their physical appearance is usually well groomed and physically fit. Their upbringings are usually happy ones.
Self actualization grows by four characteristics are auditory, physical sensations, body image, and personal memories. A person view themselves in these four cues, because we look at the celebrities and each of these people on television and print magazines are a constant reminder to regular people how much we are not measuring up, we strive to look like the people we see on the television and magazines all the time, we buy the products they endorsed and sometimes we even change our religious beliefs because our favorite star believe their religion is better. We need to be able to look within ourselves and learn what’s right for ourselves and not let others influence our choices.
