Self-awareness: The ability to accurately recognize one’s emotions and thoughts and their influence on behavior. Self-management: The ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors effectively in different situations. This includes managing stress, controlling impulses, motivating oneself, and setting and working toward achieving personal and academic goals.
