Self: evolving composite of self-awareness, self concept, and self-esteem that develops over time based on life experiences. Self-awareness: the ability to view yourself as a unique person and reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Considering our self and our behaviors relative to the behavior of others. We need to be aware about what things mean for us, and what it means for others. Ask yourself questions about your behavior. (what am i thinking, what am i feeling, why?, how are these affecting your communication) Can affect our happiness, we know what we want. If we aren"t self aware, we don"t know what makes us happy, and may stay in an unpleasant relationship. Fail to see how our behavior affects our relationships. Self concept: overall perception of who you are. Beliefs: convictions about things that you think are true or not true. Attitudes; appraisal of things (how you evaluate; good or bad)
