What is Self Awareness?

Most people mistakenly misunderstood the true meaning of Self-
awareness, for them self-awareness is just being aware of time and particular
situation. Self-awareness is not just like that it has a deeper meaning to each
individual. It is has a powerful impact to a personal development and growth
because we can grow and improve our relationships, our careers, our wealth,
our health and our happiness.
As I go on searching at Google for what will be the exact meaning of Self-
awareness, I have found out that it is having a clear perception of your
personality, including strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs, motivation, and
emotions. Self Awareness allows you to understand other people, how they
perceive you, your attitude and your responses to them in the moment. It is
also stated that you will have a better understanding why you feel what you feel
and why you behave as you behave. That understanding then gives you the
opportunity and freedom to change those things youd like to change about
yourself and create the life you want. Without fully knowing who you are, self
acceptance and change become impossible.
Individuals should develop self-awareness for us to know our purpose,
strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes and most importantly knowing our
personality deeper. Having self awareness allows you to see where your
thoughts and emotions are taking you. It also allows you to see the controls of
your emotions, behavior, and personality so you can make changes you
want. With being aware in our self we can control our emotions, values, and
actions. You will be able to make changes in the thoughts and interpretations
you make in your mind. Changing the interpretations in your mind allows you
to change your emotions. Self awareness is one of the attributes of Emotional
Intelligence and an important factor in achieving success. Self awareness is
developed through practices in focusing your attention on the details of your
personality and behavior. It isnt learned from reading a book. When you read a
book you are focusing your attention on the conceptual ideas in the book. With
your attention in a book you are practicing not paying attention to your own
behavior, emotions and personality.
To discover deeper truths about ourselves is to expand our self
awareness. As you expand yourself awareness the more you are aware of
everything and not only you who are consciously aware but also others and the
borders of your awareness expanded for a greater growth. Many of us do not
consciously choose the perspective we take. Our thoughts, which may be
considered covert behavior, may simply roll with life and become conditioned
by events, the media and other people around us.

In conclusion, I am thankful to this person who accepted my interview
despite of her busy schedules. For me, self-awareness is really important to
every individuals life. It does have a great impact and help to us. With this we
control our emotions, know what is really our purpose and what we really want
to our future and helps in interacting or communicating with others.
