IMPORTANCE OF SELF-AWARENESS
The more you understand why you view yourself as you do, the better you will understand who
you are.
Self - Concept
How does SELF-CONCEPT differs from SELF-AWARENESS?

HAVING A PRESENTATION
WHAT WILL YOU FEEL BEFORE OR EVEN AFTER
REPORTING?

“FEEL TERRIBLE”
“FEEL AWFUL”
“LOOK FOOLISH”
Self - Concept
Your image of who you are is called self – concept. It is composed of your,
abilities, feelings, thoughts, and actions.
Just like during a presentation, it triggers your self, feelings, thoughts, abilities,
strengths, and weaknesses on how you present yourself towards people.

Self – Concept vs. Self – awareness

Self – awareness is being aware of yourself, being able to evaluate your behavior,
your flaws, and aware of what you behave and act.
Self – concept is more like, the “idea” or beliefs of what you are, on how you let
others perceive yourself and how you want them to see you as an individual.
 THREE SOURCES
that develop self-concept

A) Others’ Images
B) Social Comparisons
C) Interpretations/Evaluations

By Chaun (2002)
 Four (4) selves that represent each human person

The Open self – represents all the information, behaviors, attitudes, feelings, desires, motivations,
ideas and so on. That you know about yourself and that other also know about you.
The Blind Self – represents information about yourself that others know but you do not.
The Unknown Self – represents those parts of yourself about which neither you nor others know.
Hidden Self – contains all that you know of yourself but keep hidden from others.
 THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPMENT
OF SOCIAL SELF
The development of molding an individual usually begins in the family. The kind of people
around you and your environment where you grew contribute to what you become.

So, in imagination we perceive in another’s mind some thoughts of appearance, manners, aims,
deed, character, friends and so, and are variously affected by it. This is called “looking glass self”
Three elements of looking glass self

Our Imagination of our own appearance to the other person.

Our imagination of his judgment of that appearance
Some sort of self-feeling such as pride or mortification
The development of Emotional
Competence
Emotional competence refers to the essential social skills to
recognize, interpret, and respond constructively to emotions in
yourself and others.

Emotional Competence builds Emotional Intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to recognize emotions and use
these as sources of human energy, information, connection, and
influence (Cooper & Sawaf, 1997)
FIVE BASIC ELEMENTS OF
EMTOIONAL INTELLIGENCE
(Goleman, 1998)
Self-awareness – Having a realistic assessment of our own abilities
Self-regulation – Handling our emotions so that they facilitate, rather than
interfere, in order to pursue goals and recover from emotional distress
Motivation – Using our preferences to persevere in the face of setbacks and
frustrations.
Empathy – Sensing what people are feeling, being able to take their perspective
and build harmony with a broad diversity of people.
Social Skills- Handling emotions well in relationship, accurately reading social
developments, and lead in disputes for cooperation and teamwork
Our emotional intelligence determines our potential for learning the practical skills, and to excel
in such skills, a person has to develop their emotional competencies.
In knowing oneself, Honesty and Courage are vital. Self – awareness requires honesty and
courage to get in touch with what we are thinking and feeling and to face the truth about
ourselves.

“The Better you understand yourself, the better you are able to accept or change who you are”

Begin with, “Who am I?”, “Where Have I been?”, “Where Am I Going?”

 “There are no perfect people and there are no perfect parents”

Nevertheless, from a practical viewpoint, our parents who gave us our life have the opportunity
to observe us at close quarters over many years, would have a clearer insight of our character
more than anybody else.
You don’t have to accept their views but at least listen to them.
