Self-awareness
Self-awareness is having a clear and realistic perception of who you are. Self-awareness is not
about uncovering a deep dark secret about yourself, but understanding who you are, why you
do what you to, how you do it, and the impact this has on others.

Self-awareness is directly related to both emotional


intelligence and success.
 It helps you create achievable goals because you can consider your strengths, weaknesses,
and what drives you when goal-setting.
 It allows you to guide yourself down the right path by choosing to pursue the opportunities
that are the best fit for your skill-set, preferences and tendencies.
 It makes identifying situations and people that hit our triggers and anticipating our own
reactions easier.
 It allows us to make positive behavioural changes that can lead to greater personal and
interpersonal success

Building Self-Awareness
1. Put the time in – Self-awareness is
not learned in a book, but achieved
through self-reflection! Use what you
have learned about yourself to inform
decisions, behaviours, and
interactions with other people. Some
guided questions to get you started:
 What are 3 of your strengths and 3
of your weaknesses?
 What do you value most?
 What are the feelings you are more aware of experiencing than others?
 What are your triggers (people and situations most likely to trigger negative or
uncomfortable emotions)?
 How do you respond under stress?
 How do the different roles you play in your life make you feel (e.g. sister, student, best
friend, employee, athlete, etc.)?

2. Predict how you will feel and respond before a situation and reflect on your actual
feelings and response after the situation.
3. Focus on your choices - What can you learn from your past triumphs and mistakes? Why
did you make a particular decision? How did this choice make you feel?
4. Ask for feedback – Self-awareness is as much about acknowledging what you still need to
learn as it is about identifying your strengths. Asking for feedback on your performance,
behavior, interactions, can serve to improve your future actions and responses. Feedback
can also identify aspects of your behavior you aren’t seeing clearly (your blind spots).
5. Record (keep a journal) – Allows you to reflect on daily thoughts, feelings, perceptions,
choices, behaviours, and interactions with others. Be honest with yourself. Reflecting on
your experiences allows you to learn something that can guide your personal development
so think about it and write it down!
6. Label your emotions – Feelings can be expressed using one word, but are often held
back. Use the below Inventory of Feelings to practice labeling what you experience in
different situations throughout your day. Your feelings provide insight into your thoughts and
actions, as well as allow us to better relate with others. You may also recognize trends in
how you are feeling which can teach you something about yourself.
7. Visit a success coach. If you would like more information on how to incorporate these
strategies into your study routine visit a success coach. To book an appointment, visit the
student success office (2nd floor of south campus hall) or call 519-888-4567 ext. 84410.
