A Venn diagram showing the relationship between self-concept, self-efficacy, and self-esteem.

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.

Self-awareness is vital as it allows for: better decision-making; improved emotional intelligence; enhanced confidence; and fosters greater empathy and compassion. This ultimately leads to personal development and stronger relationships.[1]

95% believe of individuals believe they are self-aware, but according to tests, only 15% of individuals are genuinely aware of themselves. [2]

To increase self-awareness, you can practice mindfulness meditation (See also: Christian meditative prayer), regularly journal your thoughts and feelings, actively seek feedback from trusted individuals (See: Accountability partner), reflect on your experiences, identify your core values, and pay close attention to your emotions and reactions in different situations. In summary, make a conscious effort to observe yourself objectively and understand your internal processes better.[3]

Journaling and improvement of self-awareness

See also: Diary

Journaling improves self-distancing, self-awareness and mindfulness.[4][5][6][7] Self-distancing is one's ability to reflect on past events/emotions as an objective observer.[8] This improves one's ability to break away from a nonstop cycle of obsessive thinking and brooding.[9]

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
