Self-reflection is the ability of people to analyze their thoughts, feelings, an behaviors over time.[1]

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 leads to greater self-awareness and 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.

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.[2]

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