This social skill is about restraint, and knowing when to check our impulses at the door. Just because you feel like doing something doesn't mean you should do it, right? Self- mastery means that you are able to control your emotions and your actions when it is not socially appropriate.
Even though we seem to be talking , texting and communicating on social media constantly, it doesn't mean that we are doing it effectively. As young ladies, it is very important that you send out the right message - that you are empowered to set your own boundaries and assert your needs.
Social awareness is about respect and consideration for others. What we do or say creates a ripple effect and touches the people around us. Be mindful of who is in the room and take a moment to apply your internal filter. You can never go wrong by choosing to be respectful and kind.
A responsible choice is one that considers the best outcome not just for ourselves, but also for those affected by what we ultimately decide. Making that choice means thinking about the consequences that come with each option and figuring out what works best for all.
These SOCIAL SKILLS or SOFT SKILLS, as they are sometimes called, are essential in building positive relationships. They are the foundation for healthy social interactions that allow you to connect with others in a more meaningful way. Also known as Social Intelligence, these skills are important because they help you to collaborate and work well with others. They help you figure out the best way to resolve a conflict. They make you empathic and let you see things beyond your own point of view. For this reason, top colleges, employers and even future life partners seek out these skills in people. When you have these skills, people are drawn to you. They trust you and respect your judgement; they are also likely to support whatever goal you deem worthy. The more successful relationships you have, the more socially confident you become.
