SELF-ANALYSIS (first part) What does self-analysis mean? It means a deeply analysis of ourselves, this is done following some steps which will help us to comprehend, to understand our attitudes, behaviors and the most important objective, to love ourselves. The self-analysis is integrated by many phases: self-knowledge, self-concept, self-acceptance, self-respect, self-assessment and self-esteem. In this essay, I am going to try to do my self-analysis, keeping in mind all the information that I have learned in class. Let´s begin by looking at the first point, self-knowledge. Basically, it consists how I am integrated, it means my own manifestations, needs and skills. Furthermore, this phase inspires to know myself completely. I mean, physically, psychologically and socially. However, there are some barriers (tendency to deny our flaws, lack of aware from our negative points and the confusion between the ideality with the reality) which don´t allow us to get an entire knowledge about ourselves. My name is Gabriel, I am a man who has many needs (physical, psychological and social) and I tend to satisfy these ones doing things which help my body, my mind and mi spirit. For instance, I think that a need from me is to express what I think; I satisfy this need playing the guitar or talking with other people. I am a sentimental guy but I try to control feelings with the head. I think that I am a balanced person. My main virtues are; humility, perseverance and respect. On the other side, my weaknesses, I am a little bit disorganized, sometimes lazy and I usually tend to be stubborn. Secondly, self-concept, it is the amount of beliefs that somebody has learned about his/her self; for instance, we could think that we are winners or losers and this concept will influence so much in our fate and clearly our self-esteem and personality will be affected by these beliefs. Some people idealize their self-concept and as a consequence tend to show the “perfect” personality to people, it is not good due to the fact that they are worried about showing the perfect behaviors so they become stressed and aggressive people. My self-concept is really simple. I am a God´s creation, I can do everything that I want it is my choice. Nevertheless, I should keep in mind that at the end of my life I must tell God what I have done in this life and He will judge me. About my goals, I think that I have many skills which can help me to achieve them and also many weaknesses which must be improved.
