Improving Self-Awareness Online Certificate Course - Outline

Module One: Getting Started

Module Two: What Is the Self?

In this part of the Improving Self-Awareness Online Certificate course, we will discuss the basic concepts of self-awareness. This includes the four aspects of self-awareness; the physical, emotions, mental, and spiritual.

The Physical Self

This is the most obvious aspect of one's self, the physical body. We will learn how our physical body's condition can affect the other aspects of our self.

The Emotional Self

Awareness of our emotions brings awareness on an emotional level. Being able to identify how we feel at any given moment is an important objective of becoming self-aware.

The Mental Self

This refers to your thoughts and imagination. Self-awareness enables you to have better control of this aspect.

The Spiritual Self

This course does not discuss anything about religious beliefs or aims to discredit religious beliefs. The spiritual self instead discusses a person's sense of identity, interconnectedness, and personal values.

Module Three: Awareness of the Physical Self

Awareness of the physical self is the first step towards self-awareness. This will give us a better understanding of how our physical self affects the other aspects of self-awareness.

Scanning

Mindfulness meditation and the specific practice of scanning can help develop of being physically aware.

Progressive Relaxation

This technique can improve one’s ability to relax. Progressive relaxation involves systematic tensing and releasing of the muscles.

Physical Stressors

Physical awareness brings more awareness of physical elements that create stress in life.

Exercise

Exercise does not only help improve physical health but also helps you get rid of negative emotions. A good exercise program helps your body in four areas:

●      Balance

●      Endurance

●      Strength

●      Flexibility

Module Four: Time Management

Today's fast-paced environment requires proper time management. This module teaches you how to spend and maximize time properly.

Organization

Getting organized helps eliminate time wasted on finding things or fixing messes. Organizing enables you to become conscious of how efficiently use the time for tasks so you could be more productive and have more time for yourself.

Goal Management

Goal management is needed to improve your time management skills. By breaking big tasks into smaller tasks, you can focus better on individual tasks. When creating goals, follow the S.M.A.RT. Acronym:

●      Specific

●      Measurable

●      Achievable

●      Realistic

●      Time-targeted

Priorities

Having a clear goal makes it easier to set priorities. But this should not take away time for having fun and relaxation. It is also important to create a balance between work and play.

Procrastination

One of the biggest hurdles to managing your time is procrastination. Here we will learn the different ways of fighting procrastination, which include:

●      Eliminating distractions

●      Using the buddy system

●      Accepting imperfections

●      Avoiding overcomplications

Module Five: The Emotional Self

This is one of the most understood aspects of self-awareness. In this module, you will learn the different elements of emotion and its relevance to self-awareness.

Validity of Emotions

This refers to acknowledging emotions is a natural reaction to certain situations. The validity of emotions implies that denying an emotional state can have negative consequences and can result in emotional breakdown when not properly addressed.

Utility of Emotions

Emotions provide important information about the environment and our assessment of the environment.

Emotional Arousal

You will learn how to identify an emotion at any given moment properly. This will also discuss the two different primary characteristics of emotions.

Emotional Valence

This refers to an emotion being experienced as being pleasant or an unpleasant condition.

Module Six: Mood Management

Being unable to control and avoid your feeling can have negative implications. In this part of the course, we discuss how we can develop a better understanding of our feelings and how to make use of these feelings.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence means understanding the meaning of your emotion and the appropriate ways you can make the emotion work for you.

Categories of Emotion

Emotions can be divided according to how they help us perform. These can be categorized into emotions that help us perform better and those that interfere with our work.

Increasing Arousal

To trick emotional intelligence, we must be able to recognize how we feel and find an appropriate emotion to feel a different way. Increasing arousal helps us get rid of negative emotions and brings us into a state of enthusiasm or optimism so we could perform better.

Decreasing Arousal

Sometimes increasing arousal is not the most appropriate action for every situation. Bringing down our emotional levels when we are anxious or angry helps bring us to a more desirable emotional state.

Module Seven: The Mental Self

Controlling our emotions is easier said than done. However, thought processes could help you assess a situation. This way, you can justify if emotion is appropriate for a certain situation. In this module, we discuss how the mental self is important in developing greater self-awareness.

Thinking Style

Psychologist categorizes thinking styles into two; global and linear. Neither one is better but only describes the ways people process information.

Learning Style

This refers to how you take in and process new information. There are three basic learning styles; these are:

●      Auditory learning

●      Visual learning

●      Tactile learning

Personality

Before we discuss personality, it is important to understand that there is no such thing as thinking styles, learning styles, or personality.

Stinking Thinking

Distorted thinking is a result of a narrowed focus on things. Whether the emotion is of the high or low arousal type, if the valence is on the unpleasant side, the result is a distorted pattern of thinking.

Module Eight: Interpersonal Awareness

As you increase your level of self-awareness, you will also develop a deeper awareness of the dynamics of your interactions with others. In this part of the course, you will learn how to develop a greater awareness of thinking, learning, and personal styles.

Addressing Different Thinking Styles

People with similar thinking styles have an easier time working together. However, when one person thinks differently, certain ideas appear to be foreign or irrelevant to the other person.

Addressing Different Learning Styles

People in a position of leadership may find themselves with the responsibility of teaching people with different learning styles. You must understand your students and develop a teaching style that is the best fit for their learning style.

Active listening and Body Language

Active listening helps in developing our awareness when interacting with others. Below are some suggestions on how to listen more actively.

●      Use (minimal) encouragers

●      Repeat key phrases

●      Paraphrase and summarize the speaker’s key points

●      Offer empathy when appropriate

●      Stay in the moment and listen fully

●      Listening fully also involves taking note of the volume and tone of voice and pace of speech

●      Probe with open-ended questions

●      Be aware of both their body language and your own

Transactional Analysis

This is a method of interacting with others where you recognize certain behavioral patterns. Transactional analysis identifies three separate modes of behavior; these are:

●      Child mode

●      Parent mode

●      Adult mode

Module Nine: The Spiritual Self

In this module, you will learn how the spiritual self is essential in developing an awareness of one's whole self. We will discuss the different approaches to increase your self-awareness and how to become more aware of your body, heart, and mind.

Mindfulness

With roots as a Buddhist concept, mindfulness has been developed as a practice in psychology that is used to help people suffering from anxiety, depression, drug addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Meditation

There are several types of meditation, each with a specific goal. Some of these include loving-kindness meditation, mindfulness meditation, and transcendental meditation, which we discussed earlier.

Cultivating Positivity

Negative emotions were critical during humanity’s early years as hunter-gatherers. This is why our brains instinctively pay attention to negative thoughts and feelings. Cultivating positivity aims to counter our natural tendency to be negative thinkers. Below are some of the ways we can improve positivity:

●      Practice meditation daily

●      Let go of resentment and forgive others

●      Celebrate successes, no matter how big or small. Celebrate not just your successes, but other people's successes as well

●      Work to foster positive emotions such as enthusiasm through singing, dancing, and listening to upbeat music

●      Exercise

●      Help others

Gratitude

One of the best if not one of the best approached to developing positivity is to develop an attitude of gratitude. This also helps you develop more awareness of the good things in life.

Module Ten: Limitations of Self-Awareness

Self-awareness can be a highly enriching experience. However, too much focus on one’s self can also have detrimental effects. In this module, we will take a look at the limitations of self-awareness.

Navel Gazing

Too much self-awareness can lead to fancying yourself as the center of the universe.

Excessive Self Discipline

Too much discipline as a result of constantly being the best of yourself can limit spontaneity in your life.

Developing Humility

When you are humble, you don’t assert your dominance over others or announce your accomplishments.

Developing Empathy

Another way of avoiding navel-gazing is to make a conscious effort to develop empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and relate to how another person feels. It is placing oneself in another person's shoes.

Module Eleven: Independence versus Interdependence

The concept of independence being a positive trait is fairly new. This is in contrast to the early idea of individuality as not being a good thing in Europe before the Renaissance. In this module, we will take a closer look into the concept of independence and interdependence.

What is Interdependence?

Interdependence is the recognition that everything and everyone is interconnected. It suggests that we are reliant at one level or another on other people.

Systems Theory

System theories look at things as they exist in context with other things.

More Than the Sum of All Parts

The team is more than the sum of its parts. It is critical, therefore, that we look at things in terms of a framework.

Team Building

A good team consists of people having different abilities. By working together, a team can deliver a task based on individual strengths.

Module Twelve: Wrapping Up

Upon successful completion of this course and achieving a passing score for the assessment, you will be issued with an international continuing education credit (CEU) certificate.
