Self-Management Skills
Self-management skill is the ability to regulate your feelings and actions to achieve your goals independently and
helps in the development of a strong personality. Some of the important self-management skills are discussed
below:
• Self-Awareness: It is the awareness of your own personality. It is the ability to notice your feelings, your physical
sensations, your reactions, your habits, your behaviours, and your thoughts. It enables you to learn about yourself
in a way no one else can ever teach you. For example, as an individual, we are aware of artistic skills. If, I am good
at fine arts, I will surely volunteer to participate in drawing competition.
• Self-Confidence: It is the trust in your own abilities, qualities and judgment. Some people are born with it and
some learn to build up after facing the challenges of life. When you learn how to be confident, you can use it in
your everyday life to tackle all of your goals. You can do any task that is given to you and not scared of taking
risks. For example, it’s a sense of self-confidence that takes a person on stage to speak in a public gathering.
• Self-Motivation: It is the force that drives you to do the things. Everything we do is motivated by some
combination of conscious and unconscious needs or desires. Staying motivated is not something that happens
naturally all the time. You should be ready to take challenges and open to positive learning. Remember that
Impossible itself says ‘I am Possible’. For example, it’s only self-motivation that makes a good sportsperson.
• Self-Control: It is the ability to manage your impulse, emotions and behaviour. Know yourself so you can
manage your emotions and impulses. It acts as a force to have a more successful and satisfying life. For example,
Indian system of fasting is an excellent example of self-control. Fasting restricts a person from eating specific
food.
• Self-Commitment: It is the state of being committed to yourself and being loyal to your actions. This is the first
step to becoming conscious as you start looking at things in a more objective manner. Be who you are and stop
fearing what others will think of you. For example, not eating junk food in any situation. Completing your school
project on your own without any help.
