Development of self-awareness #11

I am writing a brief thought about what I believe the title is referring to. I may be incorrect but I feel like I have a good idea of what it means. Self-awareness is the view one has of ones-self. We develop that whether we want to or not. Everyone walking around on earth who is capable of feeling the average human emotion is very, very aware of how and who they are. This self depicted image may not be accurate, but it has a large influence on our self esteem.

I don't think most human being has a very balanced sense of awareness. One day they think they are too dumb and the next day they are prideful, thinking they are better than the next man/woman. I find myself plunging from confidence to discouragement almost daily. The positive development of my self-awareness is only increases when I am busy doing productive things. For example, when I come home from a long day of studying and feel like I have mastered the material, I have a positive view of my self worth. On the other hand, when I come home from a day of lazy, half-hearted work, I feel lousy.

Feeling the things I discussed in the previous paragraph helps me understand that I am more self aware. That being said, it is crucial to know how to develop your self-awareness in a positive way. Because if not, you may end up beating yourself up all the time. That may cause a negative impact on the way you view yourself. The key is to become positively aware.
