In order to nurture and develop

self-understanding we need to get
to know ourselves as we really are:
our minds, our emotions, our
behavior and our being.

Sometimes others see behaviors

in us that we don’t see, especially
when we are too involved in
activities to pay attention.

2. OBSERVATION
There are several key concepts to keep
in mind if observation is to be a truly valuable
self-discovery process.

a. Situation – what is going on?

b. Specific Behavior – what happened?
c. Impact – what is the result?

a. Situation – what is going on?

In terms of the situation, get a
sense of the environment in which
a behavior occurred. What are the
significant factors? Who is
involved? This context information
offers additional perspective about
the behavior.

b. Specific behavior – what

happened?
For an observation to offer objective
information rather than subjective,
or merely an opinion, it needs to be
specific. Vague comments are not
as helpful as a concrete example.

c. Impact – what is the result?

The impact also needs to be
described in concrete terms when
making an observation. Some
results that could be observed
include:
· Change in body language
· Increased energy or animation
· Decreased energy or animation
· Focus changes

• It’s true that you can significantly improve your life by

acquiring new behaviors to attain your goals. Making
decisions, particularly effective ones, and making them
quickly, is a complex set of behaviors.
• Since behavior is learned and can be reinforced until it
becomes a habit, you have the power to choose new
behaviors, even if they feel unfamiliar and alien to you
today.
