UNDERSTANDING SELF-REACTION PAPER

Taking up my course BSED SOCIAL STUDIES, teaches me lot of things about self especially in this subject
which enlighten my knowledge. There is no right or wrong way to engage in understanding ourselves.
The key is to find time when you can be silent and really focus on what matters most. Some people are
able to do this when they are jogging or walking, others while they are commuting by train or car. For
some, it is when they pray or meditate. You focus on the inner voice, rather than the outside noise. My
personal time for self-reflection is often at the end of each day, when my online class and family
activities have been completed. In these quiet moments, I reflect on the day that is coming to a close,
the impact that I have made, and the impact that others have made on me.

Self awareness is important because when we have a better understanding of ourselves, we are able to
experience ourselves as unique and separate individuals. We are then empowered to make changes and
to build on our areas of strength as well as identify areas where we would like to make improvements.
Ma’am Araña tells us about philosophers and their philosophy which is very inspirational for me and
motivates me in any circumstances. Let us all appreciate one another and be grateful for all we’ve got
from God.
