Breaker, naranasan mo na bang mainis pero hindi mo naman alam kung saan nanggagaling ‘yung hugot mo?

‘Yung harmless naman yung ginawa or sinabi ni jowa or ni beshie, pero out of nowhere bigla ka na lang nagalit?

Tapos nung tinatanong ka bakit ka nagagalit, hindi mo naman ma-explain nang maayos kung ano ang nafi-feel mo?

Madalas ba, hirap ka mag-accept ng criticism from other people? O kaya naman, hirap ka mag-accept ng responsibility for your mistakes? ‘Yung alam mong nagkamali ka pero parati kang may excuse?

Kung YES ang sagot mo kahit sa isa sa mga tanong, Breaker, chances are, kailangan mo pang ma-develop ang ‘yong self-awareness to better relate with the people you love.

Self-awareness 01

“Self-awareness means the habit of paying attention to the way you think, feel, and behave.” Sabi yan ni Nick Wignall in his article 10 Simple Ways to Improve Your Self-Awareness.

Sabi naman ni Kendra Cherry in her article Self-Awareness Development and Types by Verywell Mind, “self-awareness plays a critical role in how we understand ourselves and how we relate to others and the world. Being self-aware allows you to evaluate yourself in relation to others.”

In short, Breaker, hindi lang lugaw ang essential. Self-awareness din!

Ganern!

Pero kung hindi ka pa rin convinced na para sayo ‘to, we hope that these BreakThrough health benefits of self-awareness will encourage you to take the necessary steps towards self-improvement.

BreakThrough Health Benefit #1: Better Relationships and Communication.

Mahirap maging honest sa loved ones natin about our needs in a relationship kung sa sarili pa lang natin hindi na ‘to clear.

This means in general, Breaker ha, and not just in romantic relationships.

Pag self-aware ka kasi, mas nagiging clear sa’yo kung ano ba ‘yung nafi-feel mo at kung bakit mo ba naiisip yung naiisip mo.

At dahil nga mas clear ka na in your thoughts and emotions, mas nagiging confident ka din and better at communicating with the special people in your life kung ano ba ‘ng mga ganap mo sa buhay.

Hindi yung nagdadabog ka na lang bigla o kaya nagkukulong sa kwarto kapag hindi napapansin.

Wag ganoon, Breaker!

Self-awareness 02

BreakThrough Health Benefit #2: Improved Moods.

Sabi ulit ni Nick Wignall, ang moods daw ng tao ay naka depende sa kung paano ka mag isip.

Kaya kapag mas aware kasa puno’t dulo of how you perceive the world, mas nagiging proactive ka in dealing with certain situations.

Hindi ka na basta maka-react lang kapag may ganap.

Instead, nagpa-pause ka na to ask kung saan ba nanggagaling yung kausap mo. Intention ba talaga nya na I-offend ka or nagsu-suggest lang sya kung paano mo pa ma I-improve yung work mo?

Kapag self-aware ka Breaker, you don’t take everything personally na. At dahil dyan, mas nagiging madali na rin para sayo ang mag let go ng negative moods or emotions.

BreakThrough Health Benefit #3: Increased productivity.

“[Self-awareness] can make us better at our jobs, better communicators in the workplace, and enhance our self-confidence and job-related wellbeing” Sabi yan ni, Sutton, Williams, & Allinson in their research A longitudinal, mixed method evaluation of self-awareness training in the workplace

Gusto mo yon, Breaker?

Kapag self-aware ka na kasi, hindi mo na tinitignan ang mistakes mo as mere failures.

You begin to see them as tools for growth.

Hindi mo na din sinisisi sarili mo or dina-down yung self mo everytime you don’t achieve something the first try.

Mas natututo ka as a result and mas nadadag dagan yung knowledge mo about your work kasi hindi ka na takot magkamali and mag try.

Self-awareness 03

Ano, solb ka na ba, Breaker?

Pero ha, remind ka lang namin na hindi namin to sinasasabi para i-condemn ka.

Kung after reading this narealize mo na kulang ka pa talaga sa self-awareness, don’t beat yourself up.

Kasi according to Tasha Eurich in an article What Self-Awareness Really Is (and How to Cultivate It) from Harvard Business Review, “Only 10%–15% of the people we studied actually [are self-aware].”

Ibig sabihin, hindi ka nag-iisa, Breaker.

Marami ang kailangan pang mag-cultivate at mag-develop ng self-awareness. Lahat kailangan pang mag-grow.

Ganun naman talaga ang life di ba?

Ganun naman talaga ang adulting.

You don’t just stay in one place. You aim to progress and move forward.

Kaya Breaker, if you need someone to talk to para matulungan ka mag process ng iyong thoughts, feelings, or behavior about certain situations, nandito kami for you.
