They are basically the same thing, just different parts of our being. One must remember human beings are a very complex creation, that is why areas that deal with the brain and mind are difficult to figure out. As a way of clarification, I consider the brain the physical store house of knowledge, cognitive skills and memory. The mind is the intangible part of us that makes the moral choices, it is also can be referred to as the soul. Sub conscious self is the underlying part(if may use such terminology) that one knows about themselves, but others have little of no knowledge of it. We keep our secrets, whether good or evil, our private little world of imagination if you will. The self conscious is something that is uniquely true of human beings. This is the part of us that can contemplate, life, death, who we are, introspection occurs here.
Self conscious is also partly our self awareness, we know we are alive, animals in my opinion don't have the capacity of self reflection. Our cognitive skills of analysis, synthesis, and other higher order of thinking can be employed in this area. That is where people contemplate the big questions of life. One, where did I come from? Two, why am I here? Three, where am I going? At some point in our life, everyone must grapple with this issue of existence.

Your conscious is self awareness.
Your subconcious is awareness of all.
