The Material Self Flashcards
It is the aspect of your self that considers your material possessions or something that belongs to you | Material Self sees your body not as physical entity itself, but your psychological ownership of it.
Like when we say, ‘my’ body or this body is ‘mine’.
Material Self
What makes up our material self?
Body
Clothes
Family
Home
We choose the clothes we wear; directly or indirectly these choices create a person’s identity, and most likely communicate outwardly how we feel about ourselves inside.
Clothes
your father and mother, siblings, spouse and children are part of our self, and since they make up partly of who we are, we make effort for our family.
Family
We decorate our homes, use furniture that soothes our needs because these things are part of the public face we put as an extension of ourselves. How presentable is our home is also partly of how we often want others to feel about us.
