1. Define the following:

 Self-awareness

Self Awareness is having a clear perception of your personality, including strengths,

weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs, motivation, and emotions. Self Awareness allows you to
understand other people, how they perceive you, your attitude and your responses to
them in the moment. We might quickly assume that we are self aware, but it isn’t a skill
measured in binary of “got it” or “don’t got it” (on/off) options. It is helpful to have a
relative scale for awareness. If you have ever been in an auto accident you may have
experienced everything happening in slow motion and noticed details of your thought
process and the event. This is a state of heightened awareness. With practice we can
learn to engage these types of heightened states and see new opportunities for
interpretations in our thoughts, emotions, and conversations. Having awareness creates
the opportunity to make changes in behavior and beliefs.

 Values Development
Values are primarily an unconscious process. They act like a filter. Every decision we
make, every e-value-action, passes through this filter and affects our assessment of a
situation. It is how we determine what is right, what is wrong, from our model of the
world. Because values are central to the self concept of an individual, team or
organization, they are also central to how we approach our work and how we go about
achieving results.

2. Importance of Self- awareness

 It allows us to improve the quality of our lives just by being aware of how external
factors influence us. We can't control 100% of our lives, but we can often control how
we react to the stuff we can't control. That is the key to self-awareness and why it is so
important.
 The biggest benefit to self-awareness is that it allows us to better choose our own
mindset, and turn it into something positive despite negative external factors.

3. Importance of Values Development

 Values development is important to help us grow and develop because values will guide
our beliefs, attitudes and behavior through it you can easily make decision that is right for
you. You can also avoid misunderstanding, frustration and distrust and you may
understand other's differences, understanding that other people prioritize a different set of
values that guide them toward different decisions, may help you better understand that
their choices may be different from yours, but they may be right for them.

4. What is Self-awareness skill?

  Self-awareness skills, as the term indicates, refer to one’s ability to be aware of or to
recognize his emotions, behaviors, beliefs, motivations and other characteristics such as
strengths and weaknesses, such that it enables him to identify and understand himself as
a separate entity. Having self-awareness skills not only enables you to understand your
own personality but also helps you apprehend other people, their perceptions about you,
and your response to their actions. Apart from enabling you to understand, it also helps
you to change your own thoughts and interpretations in an effort to alter some
unwarranted emotions.

5. Three Kinds of Self- Awareness Skill

 One is conceptual self-awareness: what we think about ourselves, which may include
judgments, evaluations, logical conclusions, and things that are easy to put words to.
Embodied self-awareness, which includes registering various types of inner states.
Interception lets us know if we’re tired or hungry, excited or in pain, and so forth. Body
schema is our awareness of different body parts, their relationship to each other and to
the environment; it lets us be aware of our movements and coordination. Furthermore,
embodied self-awareness lets us know our responses and reactions to internal and
external events—our emotions, our impulses, our needs and wants. Sometimes when
we tune in to what we are experiencing inside, it’s hard to come up with words.

 INDEXICAL SELF-AWARENESS- Indexical self-awareness is based on perceptual

information that the subject has about herself. The indexicality in question refers to the
fact that the subject is aware of herself and her states as given in the actual context.
Her state of awareness and the content of the states of which she is aware are
dependent on the particular context. The context comprises the location in time and
space where the subject is situated.
 Detached self-awareness- Builds on conceptual capacities and knowledge of logical
relationships and consists in the ability to reason about oneself from a third-person view.
 SOCIAL SELF-AWARENESS- Person-consciousness relies on yet another element:
social self-awareness. This is based on a capacity to understand one's relations to other
people as of an emotional, social, and normative kind. A subject capable of social self-
awareness can focus on her emotions and recognize those of others; she can interact
with other people in a way that takes psychological states into account and relies on
recognizing their beliefs, desires and various other intentional attitudes; and she can
furthermore grasp the nature of normative and ethical relations between subjects.
Finally, she can relate all these kinds of information to appropriate or inappropriate
courses of action and evaluate alternatives.
