Self-Awareness: Internalizing

Internalizing is the first step for improvement. To know the details of something or getting enough information does not mean that it is internalized. Being internalized means that it is reflected in behavior as your own behavior. Since the behavior practiced in real life is the result of our emotional and intellectual properties. It needs to be reached to internalized self-awareness in order to live a satisfying life.

Being internalized self-awareness means:

• To be proud of what you have and to live in peace with your strengths and weaknesses,
• To announce and able to share with others your strengths and weaknesses with self-confidence, without being ashamed.
• To be respectful of others’ strengths and weaknesses.
• To be aware of how to compensate weaknesses patiently.

The product or the result of internalized self-awareness is reflected as well-being, satisfaction and behavioral self-confidence in social life. If somebody has been supplied emotional and social support cognitively during his childhood and adulthood and if he has internalized self-awareness, then it is not expected from him to be abusive for others. However, it is expected to be in good relations, improved communication, positive thoughts for others, commenting positively on the events faced with. These make people happy and productive.

Parents, in schools, teachers and other staff are responsible people that not only help get students’ self-awareness by creating a suitable atmosphere for the students but also for being patient during internalizing the process intellectually and emotionally.
