Self-expression: Expression of one's own personality, feelings, or ideas, as through speech or art. It is how we interact with others and the world. It can be supremely fulfilling or irritably frustrating. Self-expression takes place through communication, body language, artwork, and even our clothes and hairstyles. It includes how we decorate our homes and the way we drive a car. Sometimes we don't even think about how we express our inner reality to those outside. It just happens naturally. At other times, we may strive to express something and disappointedly fall short of what we meant to get across.
Self-evaluation : Looking at your progress, development and learning to determine what has improved and what areas still need improvement. Usually involves comparing a "before" situation with a current situation.
