Maldisa, Anwarulkariem M. BSN – 1E Answer the following questions utilizing different concepts. 1) How can self-awareness be improved? - 1. Recognize the sources of your bad feelings. Anger, fear, humiliation, and sadness are all negative emotions that are triggered by individuals we know, situations we encounter, and our own thoughts and feelings. The difficulty is that if we don't exercise self-awareness, these triggers will trip us up for the same reason repeatedly. The idea is to travel back into your memory vault and look for the trigger's source. 2. Consider how you react to situations. Rather than becoming enslaved by your own emotions, which are triggered by your ideas and situations, take some time each day to focus on how you are emotionally reacting to the world. 3. Allow for some lag time before responding to situations. When you exercise conscious self-awareness, you start to notice yourself and make changes to your behavior in the present because you're aware of what's going on inside you and how your words, body language, and behavior affect those around you. 4. Understand what makes you happy. Being self-aware entails not just recognizing what causes you to experience negative emotions, but also recognizing what makes you joyful. There are several degrees of happiness; for example, we might use the word "ecstatic" to represent an extreme sensation of happiness, "cheerful" to indicate a medium intensity level of happiness, and "pleasant" to describe a garden variety level of happiness. 5. Don't let a good or poor mood fool you. We frequently make decisions when we are in a good or poor mood, only to come to regret them later. 2) Am I holding on to something I need to let go of? - You should let go of the things you don't have control over. Holding on will cause you to suffer and lead to a miserable life. 3) How will you suggest a family member/friend who just disclosed his/her entity belonging to the LGBT group? - You could be unclear of how to react or how to feel if someone close to you comes out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Even if you don't comprehend everything right away, it's crucial to show that you care about the person. Remember that just because someone identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender doesn't mean they are any less of a friend or family member, regardless of your initial ideas or feelings. 4) Faced with the death of a loved one unexpectedly, what thoughts and feelings would you have wanted to express when your loved one was still alive? - The strength of your emotions is typically determined by the circumstances of your loved one's death, the amount of time you spent expecting their death, your bond with them, and your previous grieving experiences. Of course, no two losses are ever the same, just as no two relationships are ever the same. In other words, the more important the person was in your life and the more sentiments you had for them, regardless of your relationship with them, the bigger the impact their death would have on you. 5) How does bereavement impact one’s life? - Our bodies, minds, emotions, and spirits can all be affected by grief. Physical manifestations of mourning include changes in appetite or sleep, an upset stomach, a tight chest, sobbing, tense muscles, difficulty relaxing, poor energy, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating.
