Self-reflection done honestly (without engaging in rationalization) increases self-awareness. 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-reflection involves consciously and intentionally pausing to examine your thoughts, feelings, and actions. The process of self-reflection also leads to greater personal growth. This process can be facilitated through journaling, meditation, goal setting, and seeking feedback from others such as friends, family, mentors and accountability partners.

95% believe of individuals believe they are self-aware, but according to tests, only 15% of individuals are genuinely aware of themselves. [3]
