Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is really just about being aware of who you are. It can relate to knowing your own values, your beliefs, personal preferences and
tendencies. Why does it matter? You know how famous people always say “Stay true to yourself”? This is actually really important advice, but it’s not easy to stay true to yourself if you don’t know who you are. By becoming self-aware and understanding your strengths and limitations, you open up opportunities that just are not available if you don’t know yourself. You’re also able to have more honest and genuine relationships because the people that you’re attracted to will be attracted to you for who you actually are. 5 steps to self-awareness: Take a personality test Ask for informal feedback Reflect on a regular basis Write in a journal Be interviewed (Hansen, 2012) |
