Self-awareness is conscious knowledge of one's own character, personality, feelings, motives, and desires. Know thyself is an ancient and well-accepted philosophical maxim which was inscribed upon the Temple of Apollo in the ancient Greek precinct of Delphi.
Journaling and improvement of self-awareness
See also: Diary
Journaling improves self-distancing, self-awareness and mindfulness.[1][2][3][4] Self-distancing is one's ability to reflect on past events/emotions as an objective observer.[5] This improves one's ability to break away from a nonstop cycle of obsessive thinking and brooding.[6]

Quotes
- "It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle." - Sun Tzu
- “Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
