you in this challenging time

Self-awareness is defined as the quality or trait that involves awareness of one’s
own thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and attitudes.

You know yourself better than anyone else. It’s about accepting who you are and
what you are going through these days, your hopes of learning, growing and
improving yourself. Self-awareness doesn’t develop all at once. It happens over
time. The process begins when you start being able to recognize and name your
emotions, strengths and challenges.

Now that you already know about what

this module is all about, please prepare
yourself as we will start our day with a
prayer!

PRAYER

Dear Lord/ Allah, the Almighty, we give you

thanks and praise for the gift of life. Thank
you for the many ways in which you provide
for all of us and for your protection and
presence in our lives. Help us to focus our
hearts and minds now on what we are about
to do. Inspire and enlighten us so that we can
learn new things today. Guide us by your
light so that we may see more about the
beauty of the world around us and feel your
unending love for us. We ask all this in Your
Holy Name. Amen

Remember, you can always ask for help

from your parents or guardians! Let us
now begin with our Mindfulness Breathing
Exercise!

The COVID-19 caused us a lot of danger and troubles. We are limited to do the things we used to
do, we cannot go anywhere anymore because of the situation, but we’ll just have to cooperate
with the Government and experts, we’ll just listen to them and always remember to pray for
them! We are all in this together! If you need someone to talk to, you can message me or
