• Self-awareness is having an accurate understanding of ourselves
• This includes knowing our strengths, challenges, values, emotions, and hopes

• judge your own performance, strengths and limitations;
• understand how your feelings and thoughts influence your behavior
• respond to different social situations
6. Self awareness
• Self-awareness is multi-dimensional (there is more than one lens
to look through when analyzing yourself)
• Self-awareness must account for:
• what others say/think about us (impact)
• how we think and feel about ourselves
• who we really are; and
• who we want to become (Create a You That Is Pleasant to Be
Aware Of)
8. Self- Concept
• Self-concept is how we perceive our behaviors, abilities, and unique characteristics
I am a good friend or "I am a kind person" are part of an overall self concept.
Rogers' Three Parts of Self-Concept
• Ideal self: The ideal self is the person you want to be
• Self-image: Self-image refers to how you see yourself at this moment in time.
• Self-esteem: How much you like, accept, and value yourself all contribute to your self-
concept
• Self-esteem can be affected by a number of factors—including how others see you, how
you think you compare to others, and your role in society
10. Self Image
• Self-image is the personal view, or mental picture, that we
have of ourselves
• Self-image is an “internal dictionary” that describes the
characteristics of the self, including such things as intelligent,
beautiful, ugly, talented, selfish, and kind
• These characteristics form a collective representation of our
assets (strengths) and liabilities (weaknesses) as we see them.
