                     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 behaviors, 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 behavior. 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 whatever the situation is. Completing your School
              Project on your own without any help.
            •  Problem Solving: It is an analytical skill that helps identifying a problem and finding a possible solution to it. It
              requires a person to be creative and intuitive. You should be confident in your approach as you learn which processes
              are most effective to overcome obstacles, which solutions may fail or could even create additional problems. For
              example, A teacher has to find on her own how she can improve the performance of her students.
