Self-Analysis
Self-analysis means self-evaluation in various aspects of one's life right from childhood to adulthood. It deals with personal issues or character which is portrayed during interaction with other people in society. I shall discuss self-esteem, personality type, evaluation of thinking patterns, and measurement of levels of stress under self-analysis.
 Self Esteem
Self-esteem is how an individual appreciates himself in terms of attributes, ability, and quality throughout one’s life. Self-esteem can be categorized into two low and high self-esteem. For my case, I believe that in some areas, I have low self-esteem while in others I have high self-esteem depending on the outcomes of a particular activity .for example, when I was at home with my brothers and sisters, my parents would occasionally give us some house tasks like mobbing the house, cleaning the compound as well as trimming flower beds. On my side, I would decide to trim the flowers as I felt that was the only task I can do correctly. I would get the pruning shears and start my work immediately and prune all the long branches around the compound. After am done with the worker, my brothers would begin appreciating what I have done. Next time I would do a different task, they would still keep on wishing to do things as I do. We would wait for our dad to come home over the weekend, expecting to hear his comment on our tasks, then get be excited when it’s my turn to receive my dad’s comment on my work. He would say, “I wish if all my children would be as perfect as my last born…”. Out of this experience in my childhood, I developed a positive attitude towards myself, and I felt that I had the ability and the strength to do all tasks at home and in school. Therefore, my childhood experiences built up my high self-esteem in terms of perception towards tasks.
Personality Type
I can generally say that I am an introvert because I always prefer to be in a silent environment. This is because I lack confidence in what I say to my colleagues due to a lack of exposure to significant colleagues’ areas in my life. Most of my friends will always be discussing football, where I know little about the teams, players, and football terms like the penalty.
Second, in matters to do with decision making, I can say that I am a “nice” and “tender-hearted” individual. I get into conflicts with other people simply because I would always listen to their views, analyses their impacts, and their applicability, and then I would make a fair decision. My decision is typically based on reasoning rather than emotions because emotions will lead you to make the wrong decision. For example, while in school, I assisted one of my friends with my English exercise book as we were going home. The following day our English teacher had to collect our exercise book for marking. The following morning, English was the first lesson in our class. Before the lesson began, my friend came to me and informed me that he had left his school back at home because there arose differences between his parents, and they had to run for their safety until morning, and he has just come from his uncle's home to school. I decided to sympathize with my friend and assisted him with some books where he can write notes. Immediately I went to the staffroom and reported that I would not submit my English book for marking because I had assisted my friend and who has left the book at home.
	Am always conscious while making my decision because some decision can significantly affect other people’s life. For example, during the exam period, it is expected that every student will be revising seriously. students are also required to consult with their fellow students, especially those who are bright in class. Most times, many students would come to me to consult mathematics and could be I am reading a concept which is different from mathematic. I would decide to ignore them, but I feel that it's unfair to them, and later I would decide to assist them.
Evaluation of Thinking Patterns
A person may have negative or positive thinking patterns depend on his or her performance in a particular duty or task. For example, one time, my boss asked me to mobilize other workers and discuss the way forward on the institution's performance. I did as I was advised. All the staff members attended the meeting, and we began the meeting and discussed various issues on how to improve our performance. Later in the day, I meet with my boss to brief him on what we had discussed with the other members pertain to the institution's performance. He listened to me, and finally, he said that the objectives of the meeting were not achieved. Later on, he went ahead and appointed another person to take up my position. This scenario made me develop a negative pattern of thinking all through while I was at work; I felt self- defeat in other words.

Measurement of Stress Levels
I can say that stress can be brought by adjustments or changes in one’s life, for example, when one gets into marriage, he losses a job in case of a divorce with his or her partner. It can also be a result of the contradiction between one's values and what he believes. For example, I am a person who likes to be honest and doing things right. When I was in my office during lunch hour, one of my clients came into my office. I welcomed him and gave him a seat, and we began our conversation. During the conversation, I realized that the client wanted me to sign him a claque, which was illegal, and in return, he would buy me tea. Because I required money, I accepted the offer and signed the cheque. Immediately after I received the cash, I became stressed. After all, I felt that I was guilty because I had compromised my value.
The other cause of stress can be personal problems such as finances to cover all basic needs, family issues with the spouse or children, and health issues. At the initial stages of my marriage, I encounter stress due to low incomes, which were insufficient to cater to our small family's basic needs. It greatly affected my output in the workplace, resulting in the rise of conflict between our manager and me. I always felt uncomfortable and stressed, especially after remembering that I will only get a few coins at the end of the month, and the coins will not be sufficient even to cater to the meals.
Conclusion
The self -analysis helps people to understand themselves better in terms of their strengths and weaknesses. Through this, people can live with each other in harmony as every individual understands their strong and weak points of life. Through the study of personality life, one can understand how to keep checks and balances to avoid life disappointment. Lastly, one can understand that as life goes on, things keep on changing, and every person should be ready to adjust to the prevailing changes.
