# Self-Awareness

11 topics in Personal & Social Development, in the order they build on each other.

Page: https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/areas/self-awareness

- [Who I Am: Self-Concept and Strengths](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/who-i-am-self-concept-and-strengths-mt_j8rBUMPEuD): Describe who you are: your name, family, likes and dislikes, things you are good at and things you find hard — and notice that you are growing and can already do things you couldn't do before
- [Naming Your Feelings](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/naming-your-feelings-mt_69hFD2NgGe): Notice your feelings and try words such as happy, sad, or mad. Naming a feeling can help you tell someone how you feel.
- [Vocabulary: self](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/vocabulary-self-mt_H4YZ1rSKP3): Know and use the vocabulary of self-reflection: self-awareness, reflect, pattern, trigger, assumption, impact, perspective, and notice, and understand that having precise words for these inner experiences makes them easier to understand and talk about
- [Feelings Versus Actions](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/feelings-versus-actions-mt_TU3BcLOgiV): Understand that feelings and actions are separate — you can feel something strongly without having to act on it straight away
- [My Strengths and How I Grow](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/my-strengths-and-how-i-grow-mt_UDdTHnxv4Q): Name personal strengths with examples, describe things that feel hard and possible next steps, and notice how skills have changed with practice or help. Recognise that enjoying an activity and doing it well are different.
- [Patterns in Your Own Reactions](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/patterns-in-your-own-reactions-mt_H8dEMH_wik): Notice patterns in your own reactions — 'I tend to respond like this when I'm tired, left out, or put on the spot'
- [Your Impact on Others](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/your-impact-on-others-mt_rpug2tkYhb): Reflect on how your behaviour lands on others — consider not just what you intended but what the actual impact was on the other person
- [Questioning First Impressions](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/questioning-first-impressions-mt_Mb1JUJmnbX): Notice when your first reading of a social situation might be wrong: your assumptions about why someone acted a certain way are not always facts
- [Personal Growth Over Time](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/personal-growth-over-time-mt_bkMDDstwwG): Reflect on your own growth over time: the things that challenge you now are not fixed, and noticing how you have already changed builds genuine self-knowledge
- [Naming and ranking your own values](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/naming-and-ranking-your-own-values-mt_SRNX36_g65): Name values in your own words and explore examples or actions you aspire to take. Use a particular conflict to explain priorities, reasons and likely consequences. Treat rankings as reflection tools that may depend on context. Examine circumstances when actions differ from stated priorities before changing a ranking or future behaviour.
- [Choosing What Comes Next](https://lightmysky.com/learn/personal-and-social-development/choosing-what-comes-next-mt_kDhdTK2H9s): Compare study, training and work options using costs, time, requirements and later opportunities. Separate personal preferences from others' recommendations, check which parts can be changed later, and gather information before committing.
