SELF-KNOWLEDGEBy Mikey Nykoluk & Matt Moorhouse

What is Self-Knowledge?

Self-knowledge consists of 5 different areas:

1. Self-awareness

2. Mood Management

3. Self-motivation

4. Impulse Control

5. People Skills

Self-Awareness Self-awareness

consists of becoming aware of gut feelings.

Also includes an ability to recognize feelings as they happen, and remaining alert to those feelings.

These give us the confidence to make healthy emotional decisions.

Mood Management Realizing that you,

and other people change moods frequently.

We have ways of refraining from being angry, different anger-management strategies are commonly used.

Self-motivation We realize that

motivation is the key to success.

Setting clear goals and believing that they are achievable.

Combine enthusiasm, confidence and determination to help achieve goals.

Impulse Control Able to self-regulate

emotions. Delay of immediate

pleasure, or satisfaction for a better or more fulfilling reward later.

The ability to handle distressing feelings. Staying positive under pressure helps individuals become flexible, adaptable and conscientious.

People Skills Having empathy for other

will ultimately give you a healthier relationship with them.

Understanding what a person feels like, just through the actions they portray themselves in.

Knowing how to talk to one while they are under a different type of pressure can help the both of you.
