    Study Notes

    Self-Awareness Defined

    • Self-awareness involves recognizing one's emotions, feelings, abilities and preferences.
    • It also involves understanding how thoughts influence behavior and how behavior impacts others.
    • It encompasses the understanding of the connection between feelings, behaviors and their influence on others.
    • It involves recognizing and becoming aware of emotions and reactions to work on those perceived as negative.

    Types of Self-Awareness

    • Public Self-Awareness: Being aware of how one appears to others.
      • Emerges in situations where individuals are the center of attention, like giving a presentation or interacting with a group.
      • May lead individuals to adhere to social norms to appear socially acceptable and desirable.
      • Can lead to evaluation anxiety, where individuals experience distress, anxiety or worry about how they are perceived.
    • Private Self-Awareness: Being aware of internal aspects of oneself in a private manner.
      • Examples include seeing oneself in the mirror, experiencing a physical reaction after forgetting to study for an important test or feeling a rush of emotion when seeing someone they are attracted to.

    Self-Consciousness: Heightened Self-Awareness

    • Self-consciousness is a heightened state of self-awareness.
    • It can lead to feeling awkward and nervous, especially when in the spotlight.
    • While typically temporary, for some individuals, excessive self-consciousness can be chronic, like in social anxiety disorder.
    • People with high levels of private self-awareness are more aware of their feelings and beliefs, leading to stronger adherence to personal values, but also potentially increased stress and anxiety.
    • Individuals with a high level of public self-awareness are concerned about how they are perceived by others. They often try to avoid potentially embarrassing situations and adhere to group norms.

    How To Increase Self-Awareness

    • Self-awareness requires self-examination, an honest, non-judgemental analysis of oneself.
    • It involves quieting the mind and opening the heart, accepting imperfections and recognizing true achievements.
    • It demands peace of mind, time, attention and focus to address false attitudes or inappropriate behaviors.

    How Self-Awareness Increases Effectiveness

    • Skill Development: Understanding personality helps identify situations where one can thrive and avoid those that cause stress.
    • Values: Staying focused on personal values, such as family or faith, helps prioritize and achieve what is considered most important.
    • Habits: Recognizing habits that hinder effectiveness allows for improvements towards better interaction and management.
    • Needs: Awareness of dominant psychological needs (e.g., esteem, affection) helps understand their influence on interpersonal relationships.
    • Emotions: Emotional self-awareness, understanding feelings, causes, and their impact, leads to greater control over emotions.

    Why Is Self-Awareness Important?

    • It allows for recognizing and understanding one's own feelings and character.
    • It plays a crucial role in manifesting desired outcomes as actions and thoughts are influenced by self-awareness.
    • It enables control over feelings and helps align with desired vibrations.
    • It empowers individuals with the knowledge needed for self-improvement.

    Benefits of Self-Awareness

    • Living in the present, knowing oneself and desired outcomes.
    • Recognizing toxic relationships and knowing one's worth.
    • Accepting mistakes as learning opportunities.
    • Cultivating gratitude for who one is.
    • Understanding personal boundaries and limits, resulting in comfortable assertiveness.
    • Boosting confidence.
    • Enhancing productivity, replacing reactive behavior with proactivity.

    Developing Self-Awareness

    • Meditation: Practicing meditation helps focus on the present moment, becoming aware of thoughts and feelings.
    • Asking Questions: Self-reflection through questions helps understand motivations, feelings, reactions and perceptions.
    • Keeping a Journal: Regularly recording thoughts, feelings and actions provides valuable insights into oneself.
    • Seeking Feedback: Receiving honest feedback from friends and family provides an external perspective for self-improvement.
