Great Philosopher – Aristotle

“Knowing and understanding one’s self is the key to true knowledge”

What is true knowledge?

“It is knowing who you are, what you are in this earth for, where you are going
and how you can get there” (Herrera, M.M., Coloma, T.M.)

Life will not be meaningful unless we know and understand what our reasons
are for being in this world.

Sometimes people become Irrational.

We are not aware of what we are.
We are not aware of what we have.
We are not aware of the persons surrounding us.
We are not aware what are happening in this world.
We are not aware of attitudes we have.
We are not aware of what kind of behaviors we have and we are not even
aware of the persons who care for us.

It is said that
Self-Awareness is very important to an individual in knowing himself.

What is Self Awareness?

Webster’s medical dictionary defines - Self Awareness as an awareness of
one’s own personality or individuality.

American Heritage dictionary – Self Awareness as the awareness of oneself,

including one’s character, feelings and behavior.
Stedman’s medical dictionary – Self Awareness is the realization of oneself as
an individual entity or personality.

Self Awareness offers a sure wheel for keeping our career decisions in
harmony with our deepest value.

According to Lao Tzu; “knowing others is wisdom but knowing yourself is

enlightenment.”

Awareness is the first step in the creation process. As you grow in self
awareness, you will better understand why you feel what you feel and why
you behave as you behave. Without fully knowing who you are, self
acceptance and change become impossible. Self Awareness includes
recognition of our personality, our strengths and weaknesses, our likes and
dislikes.
THE LIFE OF NICK VUJICIC
 Nick Vujicic said; “I was so hard because people put me down, and I was
starting believing that I was not good enough, I started believing that I
was a failure.”
 “There are some things in life that are out of your control that you
cannot change and you’ve got to live with.”
 “The choice that we have, is either to give up or keep on going.”
SELF CONCEPT
SELF-CONCEPT > is your image of who you are.
> it is composed of feelings, thoughts, strengths and weaknesses,
abilities and limitations.
 3 Sources that develops Self Concept.
1. Other’s Image
2. Social comparison
3. Interpretations and evaluations
Self-concept tends to be more malleable/ flexible when people are younger
and still going through the process of self-discovery and identity formation. As
people age, self-perceptions become much more detailed and organized as
they form a better idea of who they are and what is important to them.
psychologists define self-concept - It is generally thought of our individual
perceptions of our behavior, abilities, and unique characteristics.
Self-concept is essentially a mental picture of who you are as a person. For
example, beliefs such as "I am a good friend" or "I am a kind person" are part
of an overall self-concept.
According to a theory known as social identity theory, self-concept is
composed of two key parts: personal identity and social identity.
Personal identity includes such things as personality traits and other
characteristics that make each person unique.
Social identity includes the groups we belong, including our community,
religion, colleagues, and other groups.
Bracken (1992) suggested that there are six specific domains related to self-
concept:
Social - the ability to interact with others.
Competence - ability to meet basic needs.
Affect - awareness of emotional states.
Physical - feelings about looks, health, physical condition, and overall
appearance.
Academic - success or failure in school.
Family - how well one functions within the family unit.

Humanist psychologist -  Carl Rogers believed that there are three different

parts of self-concept:
1. Self-image 2. Self-esteem 3. Ideal Self

Self-image - is how you see yourself.

> It is important to realize that self-image does not necessarily coincide
with reality. People might have an inflated self-image and believe that
they are better at things than they really are. Each individual's self-image
is probably a mix of different aspects including your physical
characteristics, personality traits, and social roles.
Self-esteem - is how much you value yourself.
> A number of factors can impact self- esteem, including how we
compare ourselves to others and how others respond to us. When
people respond positively to our behavior, we are more likely to develop
positive self-esteem. When we compare ourselves to others and find
ourselves lacking, it can have a negative impact on our self-esteem.

Ideal self - is how you wish you could be.

 > In many cases, the way we see ourselves and how we would like to
see ourselves do not quite match up.
Congruence and Incongruence
> As mentioned earlier, our self- concepts are not always perfectly
aligned with reality. Some students might believe that they are great at
academics, but their school transcripts might tell a different story.
According to Carl Rogers, the degree to which a person's self-concept
matches up to reality is known as congruence and incongruence.
Congruence occurs when self-concept is fairly well aligned with reality.
Incongruence happens when reality does not match up to our self-
concept.
Unconditional love, on the other hand, helps to foster congruence. Children
who experience such love feel no need to continually distort their memories
in order to believe that other people will love and accept them as they are.
Dr. Saarni defined emotional competence as the functional capacity wherein a
human can reach their goals after an emotion-eliciting encounter. She defined
emotion as a building block of self-efficacy. She described the use of emotions
as a set of skills achieved which then lead to the development of emotional
competence.
Eight emotional competence skills:
1. Awareness of one’s own emotions,
2. Ability to discern and understand other’s emotions,
3. Ability to use the vocabulary of emotion and expression,
4. Capacity for empathic involvement,
5. Ability to differentiate subjective emotional experience from external
emotion expression,
6. Adaptive coping with aversive emotions and distressing circumstances,
7. Awareness of emotional communication within relationships, and
8. Capacity for emotional self-efficacy.
Five Basic Elements of Emotional Intelligence
1. Self Awareness – knowing what the feelings are at the moment and
using preferences to guide our decision-making, having a realistic
assessment of our own abilities, and a well-grounded sense of
confidence.

2. Self Regulation – handling our emotions so that they facilitate, rather

 than interfere, with the task on hand, being conscientious and delaying
gratification in order to pursue goals or recovering well from emotional
distress.
3. Motivation – using our deepest preferences to move, guide us toward our
goals, to help us take initiative and strive to improve, and to persevere in the
face of setbacks and frustrations.
4. Emphaty – sensing what people are feeling, being able to take their
perspectives and cultivating rapport and attunement with a broad diversity of
people.
5. Social skills – handling emotions well in relationship, accurately reading
social developments and lead in disputes for cooperation and teamwork.
