The term “self” often refers to yourself, myself, himself/herself, oneself, and your own self.  9 TYPES OF SELF-AWARENESS Public Self-Awareness This type emerges when people are aware of how they appear to others. Public self-awareness typically emerges in situations when people are at the center of attention. This type of self-awareness often compels people to adhere to social norms. When we are aware that we are being watched and evaluated, we often try to behave in ways that are socially acceptable and desirable.  10 TYPES OF SELF-AWARENESS Private Self-Awareness This type happens when people become aware of some aspects of themselves, but only in a private way. For example, seeing your face in the mirror is a type of private self awareness. Feeling your stomach lurch when you realize you forgot to study for an important test or feeling your heart flutter when you see someone you are attracted to are also examples of private self-awareness.  Dare to Dream, Dare to be!  12 DARE TO DREAM, DARE TO BE! The following are examples of great individuals who dared to dream and dare to be:  13 Our team DARE TO DREAM, DARE TO BE!

Self Awareness And Its Relation To A Person's Holistic Development You as a Filipino  Being aware of and remaining constantly on guard against the Filipino tendency towards negativism, you can eventually propel yourself into positivism.  22 YOU AS A FILIPINO Use your “lakas at tibay ng loob” (courage and strength) to move away from the fatalistic “gulong ng palad” (wheel of fortune) and “bahala na” (come what may) attitude.  23 YOU AS A FILIPINO Begin by getting involved with your own life. Makialam ka sa buhay mo! Cooperate, makisama ka, by first initiating a change in yourself.  24 YOU AS A FILIPINO Begin without expecting instant miracles. You have got only one real friend and one worst enemy and that is your self. Believe in your abilities and work unyieldingly to reach your objective.  You and Your Faith  26 YOU AND YOUR FAITH Filipino worship is directed towards God as father-figure who takes care of all- “Bahala na ang Diyos” signifying that divine providence is responsible for our destinies. Thus, whenever a problems confront us, we tend to turn against God and blame Him for all the misfortunes. Your Self- Help Concept  28 Your Self-Help Concept (Morell, 1999) You may or may not be aware of the self-help or self-improvement teachings, but if you want to be more successful, you should take note of the following; Believe in yourself.

It is a practical way to live our lives by active intent rather than by passive acceptance. Self-talk gives each of us a way to change what we would like to change, even if we have not been able to do so in the past.  31 5 LEVELS OF SELF-TALK Level Level Level Level Level 1 2 3 4 5 “I need “I never… / “I can’t…” to… / I no “I am…” “It is…” level I should…” longer…” level level level level 32 Level 1 Self-talk: I – The Level of Negative Acceptance (“I can’t…) This is the lowest, least beneficial, and most harmful level of self-talk. It is a self-talk by which you say something bad or negative about yourself, and you totally accept it. It is characterized by words, “I can’t”. It is our way of telling ourselves to hesitate, question our capabilities, and accept less than we knoe we could have done, had we only given ourselves a chance.  33 Level 2 Self-talk: II – The Level of Recognition and Need to Change (“I need to…I should…”) This level is highly attractive and tempting. On the surface, it looks as though it should work for us. But instead, it works against us. At this level, we are telling ourselves and others that we need to change. It is characterized by words such as “I need to…” or “I should…”  34 Level 3 Self-talk: III – The Level of Decision to Change (“I never…I no longer…”) This level is the first level of self-talk that works for us instead of against us. At this level, we recognize the need to change, but also, we make the decision to do something about it— and we state the decision in the present tense— as though the change has already taken place.  35 Level 4 Self-talk: IV – The Level of the Better You (“I am…”) This is the most effective kind of self-talk we can ever use. This has been used the least, but is needed the most. It is as this level that we are painting completed new picture of ourselves, the way we really wanted to be, handing it to our subconscious, and saying, “This is the me I want you to create!” It is the positive self-talk. It replaces helpless “cannot” with “yes, I can!” 36 Level 5 Self-talk: V – The Level of Universal Affirmation (“It is…”) It is the self-talk of “Oneness” with God. This level speaks of a unity in spirit, a divine and timeless cosmic affinity which transcends all worldly things and gives meaning to our being. This is the self-talk for seekers, still living among mankind, but anxious to find a greater reward. It is characterized by words like this: “I am one of the universe and it is one with me. I am fit within it, and exist as a shining spark in a firmament of divine goodness.”  The Self- Management Sequence  38 The Self-Management Sequence Life is not a matter of luck or fortune. If we leave our lives up to chance, chances are, we will fail. Success in self-management is always the result of something else, something that leads up to it. Most of what seems to happen to you, happens because of you—something you created, directed, influenced, or allowed to happen.  39 The Self-Management Sequence The Five steps that control our success or failure Behavior Feelings Attitude Beliefs Programming The Johari Window  41 The Johari Window Known to Not Known Self to Self Known to Open Area Blind Area others Not known Unknown Hidden Area Area to others  6 Ways to Improve Self- Awareness 43 6 Ways to Improve Self-Awareness Ask for Monitor your Feedback Self-Talk Recognise your Practice Strengths & Saying “No” Weaknesses Question your Self-Reflect Decisions  References: Del Rosario, Ed.
