Emotional Self Awareness My Self Awareness score is an 85, which means that while I am slightly above average, there is plenty of room for development. I have a clear understanding of what I do well, what motives and satisfies me, as well as which people and situations push my buttons. (Goleman 2002, p. 25) Yet, there are times still seem to let my emotions take control of my actions. I am still discovering the balance that will allow me to recognize those emotions, accept them, and reflect upon them later and not to discourage me. Accurate Self-Assessment I am able to find humor in my actions as a leader and maintain modesty. I often explain to my team that I do not like the term “boss” as it has a negative connotation. We are a team and …show more content…
I am triggered when I feel that someone is being disrespectful or inconsiderate. At Northwood, I worked for a woman who used fear to motivate. She would single staff members out and openly criticize them; she would talk about her subordinates negatively to their colleagues about inconsequential items, and would belittle who point out her unprofessionalism. Having been at the end of her wrath more than once, and witnessing this numerous times with other individuals I realized that she has a problem with self-control and I should let her self-control issues dictate mine. The only thing I can do in those situations is choose how I respond, in order to do that I needed to control my …show more content…
There is a strong relationship between what you think and how you feel, both physically and emotionally. (Goldman, 2009 p. 117) I am my own worst enemy and I catch myself in negative self-talk mode frequently. I have an audio book I used to listen to frequently called Confidence: Overcoming Low Self-Esteem, Insecurity, and Self-Doubt by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. This book gives you strategies on how to fake it when you need to and how you can start to believe in yourself. It is a fascinating book that I have am going to listen to it again with a fresh perspective and journal my thoughts throughout to see if it impacts the way I
Egoism is the philosophical concept of human self-interest and the relationship between ethics, altruism, and rationality (Robbins). Psychological egoism and ethical egoism are the two concepts or positions that explain how one is or ought to be motivated to obtain their self-interest. The difference between ethical and psychological egoism is that the former deals with how a person should act and the latter deals with a universal concept practiced by all. With the theory of psychological egoism, selfishness proves it to be false; thus, can true ethical egoism be possible?
Cournoyer (2014) holds that if a social worker is self-aware, then he or she can ensure that one’s personal issues and biases remain personal in a professional setting. I scored high on the self-control measure, which indicates that I can manage my thoughts, feelings, and behaviors such that I can simultaneously acknowledge their existence, understand how they might impact my client, and decide how I should react based on my client’s best interests. However, in situations that are emotionally arousing, it is difficult for me to consider other’s thoughts and feelings because when my emotions are raging a disconnect occurs between my intellect and emotions, which in turn produces a narrowed, one-sided perspective. To counteract this tendency, I will practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises when working with clients to ensure my focus remains on the
broad range of clients. Awareness and respect for diversity and multicultural values facilitates good communication and therapeutic relationship.
The Atlantic Enlightenment and Revolution changed the world for the better forever. The world was full of corruption, lack of rights, and discrimination until these new ideas came into the world during the revolution.

Caruso, Mayer, and Salovey 's (2002) describe understanding one’s emotions as “the ability to understand complex emotions and emotional ‘chains,’ how emotions transition from one state to another, the ability to recognize the causes of emotions, and the ability to understand relationships,” (p. 307). Individuals with high levels of Self-Awareness have capacity to understand certain events, situations, and triggers impact how one makes decisions, interacts with others, and manages
Abraham Maslow defines self-actualization as “the desire of self-fulfillment”. In my opinion, all humans encounter and struggle with the notion of trying to achieve self-actualization through their entire lives. Through reading the beginning of the article, it described that humans are inherently active and inclined towards inner organization. It describes that through society, humans can be provided with the experiences, ideas and conditions necessary for that individual to flourish and reach their full human potential. Through the introduction of the article, it is mentioned many times that humans are regarded as “inherently active and self-organizing” and this relates to organismic meta-theoretical assumptions.
The problem with this form of reality is that it affects your internal dialogue and “tends to be totally monopolistic” (McGraw, 379). McGraw notes that people fall victim to believing this distorted dialogue because we believe that we don’t lie to or mislead ourselves. The unfortunate truth, or factual reality, of this is that we in fact filter in and out what we want or don’t want to see, think or feel. Negative internal dialogue affects people with high anxiety and severe doubts the most when it’s least expected or wanted. Here is where self-concept and self-esteem play an important role. Someone with a low self-esteem likely has devastating self-talk, which puts internal dialogue on autopilot to continuously play “self defeating messages” (McGraw, 380). All of this affects the way a person views their self-concept, and this can lead to a person living in a distorted reality where nothing they say or do is good enough or going to
Erik Erikson composed a theory of psychological development that was composed of eight stages. Erikson’s theory focuses on how personalities evolve throughout life as a result of the interaction between biologically based maturation and the demands of society. According to Erikson, “Each stage of human development presents its characteristic crises. Coping well with each crisis makes an individual better prepared to cope with the next.” (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2013, p. 314) According to Erikson’s eight stages of development, I have only been through six of the eight stages.
Ownership implies something that cannot be taken away from us. Each of us owns both ourselves and sense of self. Each are developed by experiences and those with whom we choose to surround ourselves. One’s sense of self commonly represents an understanding of the person we are and continue to become. What we do with our life acknowledges our passions, dreams, and maybe even regrets. We come to realize the relationship between ownership and our sense of self.
As we reviewed the self awareness module this past week it was very interesting to see how the self assessments provided the class information about their own personal human behaviors. I was aware of most of the information provided but there were some tendencies I was surprised to find fitted my character. It was good to be reminded of the things I had forgotten about myself. Learning about my individuality and how I interact and respond to others based on my traits, personality and behavior has been an awakening experience. It is also great to know that I can work on areas that need improvement to become a more balance person to better assist my subordinates, teams and organizations.

Introspection of oneself could be interesting and moderately to an extent challenging to put into words. There are many factors that influences who we are as an individual or as a part of a group. Generally speaking I believe we all wear several masks that portray us in different ways according to our settings and who we are around. Ever since I was able to get allowances and old enough to work, I invested in cameras in order to capture the various aspects of my life. I always thought I would reflect back on them to describe the moments, where I was in my life and my views during those moments. I could describe myself as many things; an outgoing, shy, caring, loyal, trustworthy, kind, an altruistic and conscientious person and etc. These are the ways I view myself, while others might have a different prospective of me. Gazing through the six pictures of myself reflects my perceived self-control, self-concept and self-presentation at the different stages within my life.
One of my best qualities is self-awareness and awareness of my students. If I make a mistake, I immediately notice students’ confusion and fix the situation. I check their understanding through CCQs. During my fourth TP, I was teaching grammar to an intermediate level class. I noticed they weren’t clear about the rules after my very long explanation; I should have limited the TTT. So, I caught on to their confusion, and I became more aware of my method. So I changed my method and worked more with the students. I made sure everyone understood and used the grammar well. According to my tutor, despite the confusion, I created on MPF clarification. I achieved the aim of the lesson, and the language was well produced by the students. Thankfully, my detailed observation and awareness helped me to develop my lessons. Also, my friends usually asked for my feedback on their lessons. They and my tutor trusted my observations.
Self-discovery is a way for one to discover who they are in the inside and to be able to express their characteristics to others. “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” - Aristotle. Knowing one’s self isn’t about knowing family heritage, but what one can gain by being around others to help express themselves. Knowing others before themselves can help one boost their expectation in life. One factor towards discovery is by having self confidence.

Another important factor that contributes to self confidence is loving one’s self and being an independent person. This element towards life can and will lead one down any path of success
