Self- awareness: Who am I
PG Department of social work and sociology conducted a skill development Programme for social work and sociology students. The topic was based on self-awareness. Self-awareness is a crucial aspect of personal growth and development. It refers to the ability to recognize and understand one's own emotions, thoughts, motivations, strengths, and weaknesses. This awareness provides individuals with insights into their behaviours, actions, and reactions, leading to more informed decision-making and improved interpersonal relationships. Developing self-awareness involves introspection and reflection. It requires an honest evaluation of one's beliefs, values, and goals. Through practices like mindfulness and journaling, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of their emotional triggers and patterns of behaviour. Self-awareness also involves seeking feedback from others, as external perspectives can shed light on blind spots. The benefits of self-awareness are manifold. It leads to better emotional regulation, as individuals can identify and manage their emotions effectively. It also fosters empathy and understanding towards others, enhancing communication and collaboration. In a professional context, self-awareness can lead to better leadership skills and decision-making. Cultivating self-awareness is an on-going process. It requires a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths and a commitment to personal growth. By regularly engaging in self-reflection and seeking opportunities for feedback, individuals can enhance their self-awareness, leading to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
