Personal Statement : Self Management

Utilizing self-management strategies, a person engages in a controlling behavior through implementing strategies to manipulate the antecedents and consequences of target behaviors which make the controlled or target behavior more or less likely to occur. Controlling behaviors may be setting goals, self-monitoring, or have reinforcing or punishing effects on the target behavior which causes a change in frequency of occurrence.

There are many careers out there, but my chosen career is business management. I have always wanted to own my own business since I was a child. Owning a restaurant has always been a dream and a passion that I wish to accomplish. I know with the education that I am receiving now and with all of the skills that I have, I will be successful with owning or managing a business. When I get older I want to be able to provide for my family, and that gives me the motivation to strive to be fortune.

“Follow your passion; it will lead you to your purpose,” Oprah Winfrey. My passion leading me to a degree in healthcare management has been the love I have for my son. Becoming a single mother, shortly before my son turned two-years-old, was life altering. Moving back in with my family, realizing I had no income, and no longer the team effort from his father, was an indescribable sense of failure as a parent.

Working as a therapist can be exhausting, but yet, rewarding at the same time. As a therapist we deal with daily encounters of other people’s lives, issues, problems etc. Taking multiple cases of providing therapeutic interventions has an effect on the human body and the psyche. The wear and tear over time begins to haunt us without recognizing how neglectful we can be towards ourselves because our focus is for the sake of other people’s sanity. The profession is hard, and can be detrimental to professionals who do not take care of themselves. Self-care is an important aspect when working as a therapist. Our health, mental health, spiritual values, etc. should matter just as the client’s health, mental health and spiritual values matters

#*For instance, you tell yourself “I can’t do it right now. I have too much on my plate.” Challenge this by examining its validity. Can you remove something unimportant from your to-do list to add an important task? With a growth mindset as the focus, reframe the earlier statement to “I can do this if I manage my time better.”https://mindsetonline.com/changeyourmindset/firststeps/

Self-care in nursing is a very important aspect when it comes to being a successful RN. In order to perform well at your job and in order to take care of your patients, you must take care of yourself. Many people have different forms of self-care whether that be going to church, getting exercise, spending time with your, or even taking a vacation. Whatever self-care means to you; it is a major part of nursing in order to take care of your patients. This is so important because it has a domino effect on all parties involved; if you don’t take care of yourself how can you care for a sick, ill patient. One of the major nursing theorist that strongly advocated for self-care was Dorthea Orem (Black, 2014). For Dorthea self-care and personal health were hand in hand with one another (Black, 2014).

I am not a professional writer, but I am a writer with sufficient imagination and positive attitudes. Through last two-semester-writing training, I understand the basic requirements of academic writing, such as the format, the citation and so forth. However, there is still an extensive space for me to improve my skills in both reading and writing. As a reader, I enjoy appreciating masterpieces and I am good at thinking through reading, but sometimes either cultural shock or linguistic barriers limit my reading speed and reduce my interests.

When I took my USC tour before my freshman year, I fell in love with the campus and became very interested in exploring all the opportunities presented by the ambassador. I fell in love with the beauty of the Horseshoe and greatly appreciated the generosity and politeness of the people I met. I want to inspire prospective students to fall in love with USC as I did. I would also like to explore this opportunity to develop as a person and make good friends in the process. It gives me great pride to tell people I attend the University of South Carolina and cheer on my team at every football game. When people ask me why I went to school so far away, I generally stick to three answers. The weather is great, the sports are amazing, and the people who comprise the University are fantastic.

Managing Oneself by Peter F. Drucker has transformed the way I look at myself, and as a result, it changed my entire life. When I first read the book I learned many new questions to ask myself such as; what are my strength’s, how do prefer to learn, as well as how do I perform? All of these questions provided me with a plethora of information on how to manage my life and make the most out of it. I use many of the strategies that the book mentioned in my everyday life; all of which supply me with insight into who I am and who I should be. Without this book I would be a different person, I would still be searching for who I am and who I want to be. I loved this book because it supplied me with information on personal matters that have improved

One of the most important self-management skills involves controlling and budgeting your time. Gaining control of your time and your life involves identifying time wasters and determining your peak energy level.

Finally, we also mentioned the importance of time management and self-discipline. A student will manage very well his/her time by identifying best time for studying, using distributed learning and practice means study in shorter time blocks with shorts breaks between, reducing distractions which can waste time, making room for entertainment and relaxation, making sure there is time to sleep and eat properly and try to combine activities. For example, if a student is spending time in the Laundromat, he/she can bring his psychology book to read. Managing time takes self discipline. The same professor cited before said that “people who seem to have less difficulty with self-discipline probably have simply had more practice at it”. So, practice is what it takes to have self-discipline.

Self-awareness practice theoretically takes an individual beyond his or her present context; by reflecting on their performance they gain a greater influence towards the nature of present experience. Self-analysis is very emancipatory because it contributes to the development of person knowledge (dekeyster et al, 2008). Self-awareness has three components that stand useful for an effective manager which are

Peter Drucker argues that we live in an age of unprecedented opportunity; that people can make it to the top no matter where they start (Drucker, 2005). However, no matter what natural talents you may possess, people still need to learn how to manage their lives and their careers over a fifty or more year period. He asks people to ask five primary questions honestly about their career.
