Know about Yourself- Self Awareness involves to introspect into ourselves . Its all about seeing “eye to I”. Knowing oneself is the basic requirement to develop one’s personality. A trained counsellor can help unlock the self awareness in an adolescent.
Every person has three concepts of self, the one that we show to the world
i.e. perceived self, second is what we actually have i.e. real self, and third one
is what we think we are and we have i.e. ideal self.
Have you ever asked these questions to yourself which lead to the answer ‘I’.
Answering that question is the most difficult one but also the most important one
What do I want in my life?
What are my dreams, goals?
Who are the people I like?
What are my strengths and weaknesses?
Do I want to work or study further?
Do I understand myself?
The Self-awareness includes :
- recognition of our personality
- our strengths and weaknesses
- our likes and dislikes
Self awareness helps an adolescent of being aware about one’s capabilities, thoughts, behavior, mannerism, tastes, aptitude, dreams, strengths and weakness.
Self awareness can also help us to recognize when we are stressed or feel under pressure.
