SELF-AWARENESS
Self-awareness 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 behavior with your values, and understand correctly how others perceive you.
Self awareness is important because when we have a better understanding of ourselves, we are able to experience ourselves as unique and separate individuals. We are then empowered to make changes and to build on our areas of strength as well as identify areas where we would like to make improvements.
When you are self-aware you will work and play better with others. It's often better to focus on your own actions rather than on others especially when trying to solve a problem. People who are self-aware start by examining what they can change, personally, in order to succeed. Self-awareness leads to self-responsibility.
How do you develop self-awareness? There are several ways this is to mention a few:
1. Meditate. Yes, meditate
2. Write down your key plans and priorities. One of the best ways to increase self-awareness is to write down what you want to do and track your progress
3. Take psychometric tests
4. Ask trusted friends
5. Get regular feedback at work.
