    Self- awareness

    What is self-awareness?
    ❑ Self-awareness is one’s ability to identify
    and understand one’s feelings, thoughts,
    and behaviours.
    ❑ As a result, an individual can monitor
    oneself better and create a more
    purposeful life.
    ❑ is the ability to focus on yourself and how
    your actions, thoughts, or emotions do or
    don't align with your internal standards. If
    you're highly self-aware, you can
    objectively evaluate yourself, manage your
    emotions, align your behaviour with your
    values, and understand correctly how
    others perceive you.
    Most of Us Lack Self-Awareness
    •Our human nature makes it incredibly
    challenging to be self-aware. We’re dealing
    with outdated brain functions and survival
    instincts that are rooted in ancient times. As
    a result, we often become caught up in
    defensive emotions and biases that prevent
    us from being self-aware.
    • The best part is that these defenses make
    us think we’re self-aware when in reality,
    only about 10-15% of people are truly
    self-aware.
    6 Signs that You Lack
    Self-Awareness
    1. Your emotional reaction
    doesn’t match the situation
    2. You get defensive when
    receiving feedback
    3. You repeat negative emotional
    patterns
    4. The things you do to “make yourself feel
    better” don’t actually make you feel better
    5. You haven’t found a way to be
    consistently successful
    6. You regularly regret decisions
    in your everyday life
    Why is self-awareness
    important?

    • There are many benefits of self-awareness


    that you will experience both in your
    everyday life and overall.
    HOW TO BOOST YOUR
    SELF-AWARENESS
    Listen to your inner voice
    We all have an inner voice that chats away
    in the background most of the time – just try
    to empty your mind and think of nothing, and
    you’ll soon realise how active that inner
    voice is. Try to take more notice of what your
    inner voice is saying, because it could tell
    you something about yourself that you may
    not have realised previously.
    Take a couple of minutes every day to sit
    quietly and observe your thoughts. Try
    writing them down and then assess them
    once a week.
    Keep a journal
    As well as writing down your inner thoughts,
    it’s a good idea to keep a daily journal in
    which you record your experiences and
    feelings. These things can help you
    understand more about yourself, especially
    if you review what you’ve written at a later
    date.
    Put your personality to the test
    Many psychologists believe that knowing
    and understanding your personality can
    boost your self-awareness significantly. So,
    even if you think you know your personality
    pretty well, try taking a personality test – it
    may well surprise you.
    Ask for feedback
    • How friends, colleagues and family
    members see you may not be the way you
    see yourself. So ask them to tell you about
    their perceptions of you.
    Ask lots of basic questions about your
    personality and attitude, do they think you’re
    a happy person, for example, or how well do
    they think you interact with other people?
    Ask them to be honest. But take care:
    asking for feedback could mean you may
    hear something you won’t like.
    Try something new
    If, like many people, you tend to do the
    same things in your daily life, trying new
    experiences may help you to discover new
    things about yourself. That’s because your
    reaction to new people and environments
    can reveal hidden strengths or weaknesses
    that you may not otherwise have come
    across.
    So, instead of going on the same type of
    holiday this year, go somewhere completely
    different. Try a restaurant you’ve never been
    to before. Or learn something new and
    take-up a new hobby. It can all help you to
    become more self-aware.
