Expert Solution
Step 1: Introducing Self and Ideal Self

The concepts of self and ideal self play a fundamental role in understanding human behaviour and personal development. The self represents an individual's perception of who they are, encompassing their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about themselves. It forms the core of one's identity and influences their interactions with others and the world around them. In contrast, the ideal self represents an individual's vision of their future self, the person they aspire to become. It embodies their goals and desires and the changes they seek to make in their lives.
