SELF-MANAGEMENT SKILLS
Self-management skill is the ability to regulate your feelings and actions to achieve your goals independently, which
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 our 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 it 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 are not scared of taking risks. For
example, it is 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 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, the 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.
