The area I sought to improve was my self awareness. Self awareness is knowing what emotions you are feeling in certain situations and times; knowing your feelings and being able to identify them. It also involves knowing what your emotional triggers are and when you need help. If you know what triggers you to get angry or upset etc., then you have the skills to avoid those situations or conversations. Its impotent to be able to interpret how you are feeling in situations, it allows you to understand your self better and convey that to others. To improve my self awareness I decided to ask 5 people I was close to, to see what they thought my strengths and weaknesses were when it cam to these five categories of emotional intelligence; self awareness,

I gave them the definitions of each category and asked them to tell what they thought my strengths were and what my weaknesses were and then add some detail to why they thought it was the case. I only listened and took notes, I did not allow my self to respond to what they said. I started my project by asking my mom what she thought, my strengths and weaknesses were in terms of emotional intelligence. I started with her cause I feel that she knows me the best out of anyone. She responded by saying“ your strengths are that you are very strong in self awareness and self management, you are very emotionally steady.” She added that she also thought I had a lot of empathy for people, and are very motivated to purse things that make me “happy. When I asked what she thought my weakness(es) were she responded by saying, “ I don’t think of it as a weakness but more of something to grow into as a person is to discusses disagreements, you walk away and leave it alone.” She said I should try working through them and not just say whats done is done and walk away, find the in-between.

That is something that now that it was brought to my attention I would like to fix and get better at working on paying attention to her sincerity more. I think that the area of self-awareness and me not exactly knowing what I am feeling is going to take time to get better at and might be slow progress. I don 't think a person can just suddenly know all the time what they are feeling, but I think I can do it more my trying to see and feel what my body feels like during the emotions, so I can better identify it. This was the reason I chose the category of self awareness and in the article it says talking to your self and working it out with the imaginary other end helps find the source of whats truly bugging me. Im not sure I would try This exact experiment again but when I don 't know exactly what I am feeling or how to express it go on a run or walk and just talk it out to my
