Open Area (Johari Window)

Also known as the 'Arena,' this represents knowledge and behaviors that are known to both the individual and others.

Blind Spot (Johari Window)

Aspects of a person that are visible to others but unknown to the individual themselves.

Hidden Area (Johari Window)

Also known as the 'Facade,' these are things known by the individual but kept secret or chosen not to be shared with others.

Unknown Area (Johari Window)

Aspects of an individual that are unknown to both the person themselves and everyone else.

Self-acceptance

Acknowledging and embracing who you are, including your strengths, weaknesses, mistakes, and experiences, without judging yourself too harshly.

Positive Self-talk

The practice of replacing negative internal narratives, such as 'I'm a failure,' with constructive thoughts, such as 'I made a mistake, but I can improve.'

The Social Media Trap

The Self-Regulation Process

A four-step method for responding rather than reacting: 1. Stop (Pause), 2. Think (Identify feelings and choices), 3. Choose (Align with values), and 4. Act (Respond calmly).
