s.p.i.e.s PHYSICAL
SPIES: Social and PhysicalSelf-Image and Self Esteem • Our self image is our perception of who we are, what we can do and how we are made. Building a healthy self-image requires time, energy and patience. • The foundation of a healthy self-image is unconditional love. Unconditional love does not need to be earned. It is given freely and completely. • Ideally, unconditional love is offered first by our parents and then by other significant people in our lives.
We will also receive negative messages from others at certain times in our development. These messages may have a damaging effect upon the development of our self image, but this negative effect can be offset by love, acceptance and respect. • As we mature, we develop the capacity to choose which messages from others we wish to use to build our self-image and which messages we wish to reject as untrue or unimportant.

We must call upon our self-discipline in order to choose to act as Jesus did.
Define self-image. • What is the foundation of self-image? • How is unconditional different from other types of love? Who usually offers it? • What happens if a person does not receive unconditional love? • How can we help a person who has not received unconditional love? • How does self-discipline connect to the concept of compassion?
