Self-Actualization: EXAMPLES OF SOMEONE WHO IS SELF-ACTUALIZED:
- someone who is strong and independent.
- someone who is able to gratify his or her own needs and wishes.
- someone who is good, not because he or she is afraid of consequences, but simply
because he or she thinks it is a cool thing to be good. - someone who always listens to his or her conscience, that little voice we all have inside of
us. - someone who is responsible rather than dependent.
- someone who can replace fear with courage. Everyone is afraid at one time or another.
But what do you do about that fear? Do you hide under the covers or in a closet? Or do
you do what you need to do in spite of any fear feelings?

1. I want people to like and respect me; therefore, I am
sensitive to not messing with any of their Basic Needs such
as BELONGING, RESPECT, SAFETY, SECURITY, etc.
2. I value and respect myself; therefore, I don’t let people
mess with any of my Basic Needs. However, I let them
know firmly and kindly what is important to me – not
aggressively or passively.
3. I value and respect myself and others and wish to have
good self control; therefore, I make certain that I get plenty
of sleep, I don’t skip meals, and I am gentle with myself
and others if I should be overly sleepy or hungry.

and others if I should be overly sleepy or hungry.
1. Since I understand that not getting plenty of sleep and
regular meals could cause me to be grumpy or sick, I will
increase the number of times I am gentle with myself and
others should I be in that situation. In other words, I won’t
take out my feelings of angst on others.
2. Since I understand that snapping at another person could
cause a chain reaction of actions that could come back to
hurt me or one of the people I care about, I will increase the
number of times I more consciously control my actions so
that negative things like that won’t happen as often because
of me.
3. Students will increase the number of times they act
assertively and set firm boundaries with others as opposed
to whining or crying or hitting or yelling to get their point
across that they don’t wish to be disrespected.
