The Physical Self
GROUP 2
Within a day, how many times
do you ask yourself in the
mirror, “Am I beautiful?” “Am
I satisfied with how I look?”

mirror is your physical self the
body, the concrete and tangible part
of your “self” that can be directly seen
and examined.
You are defined as “you” because of

your personal appearance or personal
characteristics; only you have these
particular features; they are unique
to you ONLY and no other.

the story of creation, God Himself

our gratitude and respect to God’s work by

these gifts through proper care of ourselves
and our environment, including the right
attitude.

changes as we interact with our surrounding, with what we
see in others and what we observe in Western culture.
