Self-awareness
Self-awareness
Do you want to be happier, have more influence, be a better decision-maker, and be a more effective leader? Self-awareness, then, is the most important muscle you need to develop. It’s what will keep you on target to be the best a version of yourself and the best leader you can be.
Psychologists Shelley Duval and Robert Wicklund proposed this definition:
“Self-awareness is the ability to focus on yourself and how your actions, thoughts, or emotions do or don’t align with your internal standards. If you’re highly self-aware, you can objectively evaluate yourself, manage your emotions, align your behaviour with your values, and understand correctly how others perceive you.”

A Journey From Distress To Well-being
Eustress (Good stress) and Distress are terms that categorise different types of stress. At one end of the spectrum is distress, which involves negative feelings and is often a difficult experience. At the other end is eustress, which is challenging but rewarding and leads us to mental and physical well-being.
How to promote Eustress (Good stress)
People can promote eustress in several ways.
A simple way to do this is to participate in activities that are challenging but feel doable and have a clear route forward. A person could try:

World Autism Awareness Day
On World Autism Awareness Day, we celebrate the contributions of persons with autism and renew our resolve to advance their inherent rights.
We must do better – by promoting inclusive education, equal employment opportunities, self-determination, and an environment where every person is respected. And as we do so, we also recognize the role of families, caregivers, and support networks in the lives of persons with autism.
Today and every day, let us fully recognize the active and diverse contributions of persons with autism to our societies – and let us work together with persons with autism to build an inclusive and accessible world for all.

Self-doubt
Nine out of ten times one feels paralyzed, it’s because we doubt our decisions.
Sometimes we doubt our knowledge. Sometimes we doubt the choices we already made.
Other times we doubt our instincts.
But what one should be learning is that there is no such thing as “wrong.” The only wrong choice is not making one.
The point is to learn to be less afraid of leaping, knowing that the net may not always appear, but the fall will never be far enough to do any lasting damage.
Doubts are just an inevitable part of life. The important thing is that we act in spite of them.

Believe In Yourself
Reasons to support a Belief will fall into four categories (from strongest to weakest) :
- Unconscious– we just believe it. We have never questioned its validity and have no reason to.
- Evidence– we have personally experienced it abs verified it to be true.
- Doctrine– authorities have verified it to be true.
- Hearsay– others (a number of people) say that it is true
Believe in yourself.
