LESSON 3: DEVELOPING SELF AWARENESS AND MANAGING SELF

Reference: http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200509/managing-the-self


Managing the self, in doing so first you look at your appearance and how you are perceived by the people around you. This is also related to self awareness because It does not only mean that you are aware of your attitude but you are also aware of yourself physically. Managing the self is a continuous process that one goes through daily. I feel that it would take more than a day to just understand and analyze how you are perceived by others. But one thing that I understand and believe in is that you cannot please everyone. There would always be this one person that would not approve of you. I think that in managing the self it is also important to consider one’s reaction to critique by others because a remark given would not mean that it is always positive, it is inevitable that in life there would always be negative criticisms. What one can do is to make use of these to help them be better individuals.
