1st meeting
PROCEDURE
INTRODUCTION

Self-awareness involves being aware of different aspects of the self-including traits,

behaviours, and feelings. Essentially, it is a psychological state in which oneself
becomes the focus of attention.

Self-awareness is one of the first components of the self-concept to emerge. While

self-awareness is something that is central to who you are, it is not something that you
are acutely focused on at every moment of every day. Instead, self-awareness becomes
woven into the fabric of who you are and emerges at different points depending on the
situation and your personality.

INTERACTION

Let us read a parable about the Monkey and the Fish.

MONKEY AND THE FISH

The fish loved the river. It felt blissful swimming around in its clear blue waters. One day
while swimming closer to the riverbanks it hears a voice say, “hey, fish, how is the
water?”.

The fish raises its head above the water to see who it was. It sees a monkey seated on
a branch of a tree extended over the water.

The fish replies, “The water is nice and warm, thank you”.

The monkey feels jealous of the fish and wants to put it down. It says, “why don’t you
come out of the water and climb this tree. The view from here is amazing!”

The fish feeling a little sad, replies, “I don’t know how to climb a tree and I cannot
survive without water”.

Hearing this monkey makes fun of the fish saying, “you are totally worthless if you
cannot climb a tree!”

The fish starts thinking about this remark day and night and becomes extremely
depressed, “yes, the monkey is right”, it would think, “I cannot even climb a tree, I
must be worthless.”

A seahorse sees the fish feeling all depressed and asks it what the reason was. Upon
knowing the reason, the sea-horse laughs and says, “If the monkey thinks you are
worthless for not being able to climb the tree, then the monkey is worthless too
cause it cannot swim or live under water.”

Upon hearing this the fish suddenly realized how gifted it was; that it had the ability to
survive under water and swim freely which the monkey never could!

The fish feels thankful to nature for giving it such an amazing ability.

Answer the following questions:

1. What do you think are the positive and negative attitude that the Fish, Monkey
and Seahorse were shown?

CLOSURE
Most of us claim full knowledge about ourselves. We claim having the sole
privilege to fully understand even our innermost thoughts and feelings. Yet, when we
take closer look into who are we really, we usually discover something unfamiliar,
something new about ourselves. Taking a closer look into ourselves helps to develop an
awareness of ourselves ̶ our strengths, weaknesses, limitations, abilities.
