The article deals with the features of the self-bodily as a substructure of self-consciousness. A definition of self-awareness was provided. Self-awareness reflects the individual's awareness of what he is, what qualities he possesses, how other people treat him, what his attitude is. The following components of self-awareness are described: cognitive - characterizes the content of the individual's ideas about himself; affective - reveals how people perceive themselves, what emotions and feelings they have about themselves; behavioral - defines the possibility of self-regulation, the ability of the individual to make independent decisions, to manage their behavior, to control it, to be responsible for their actions. Particular attention is paid to the interrelation of the affective component and the self-bodily. Recent research and publications by leading scholars on the self-body are analyzed. Several interpretations of the term "I-bodily" are given and an extended definition is given: self-bodily - knowledge of one's own body, attitude to one's own body, and regulation of one's own body movements.
The article describes three components of the self-body: cognitive - knowledge of one's body as an organism; emotional - the perception, installation, evaluation, ideas related to one's own appearance and body functions; functional - provides regulation of the position of body parts, control and correction of the motor act with dependence on external conditions. The structure of the self-bodily is considered. It describes how a person's self-esteem manifests itself in his gestures and facial expressions, how emotions are expressed by representatives of different countries and tribes. Gestures of confidence and insecurity, closedness and openness are described. The research of the scientists Alan and Barbara Pease and Paul Ekman is analyzed. The article deals with the notion of "strong poses", their research.
The experiment of social psychologist Amy Kadi on the effect of body posture on the level of hormones in the body is described. An empirical study of the impact of taking a «power poses» on the level of self-esteem was conducted and described.
