What is Self-Awareness?
Self-awareness is like a GPS to a traveller: Similar to how a traveller relies on a GPS to navigate unfamiliar territory, self-awareness guides one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It provides direction, helping individuals understand themselves and make better, informed decisions about their lives, just like a GPS helps a traveller reach their destination.
5 Benefits of Being Self-Aware
Self-confidence:  First, it helps you build confidence. When you know yourself well, you feel more comfortable in your skin. 
Emotional Regulation:  Self-awareness also helps you navigate tricky situations. Instead of reacting without thinking, you can pause and consider how you want to respond. 
Better Decision Making: When self-aware, you make better decisions that align with your values and goals. You're less likely to be influenced by peer pressure or external expectations because you know what's important to you. 
Improved Conflict Resolution: Conflict is a natural part of life, but how we handle it can make a big difference. Self-awareness allows you to recognize your triggers and biases, making it easier to approach conflicts with empathy and understanding. By taking ownership of your feelings and behaviours, you can work towards resolving conflicts respectfully and productively.
Enhanced Emotional Regulation: Emotions can be powerful and sometimes overwhelming, but self-awareness can help you manage them more effectively. Understanding your emotional triggers and patterns allows you to develop healthy coping strategies to regulate emotions and maintain balance. 
3 Steps to How to Become Self-Aware

Pay attention to your feelings: Take time to notice how you feel throughout the day. Are you happy, sad, or frustrated? Understanding your emotions is the first step to becoming more self-aware.
Reflect on your actions: Take a few minutes at the end of the day, when brushing your teeth, for example, and consider why you did certain things. Did you choose because it felt right, or were you trying to please someone else? Thinking about your actions can help you understand your motives and values. 
Ask for feedback: Sometimes, other people can see things about us that we can't see ourselves. Ask Trusted friends or family members who are great people to offer feedback on your strengths and weaknesses. They can help you gain a better understanding of who you are. Please note: Talking to another person makes us vulnerable. Ensure you speak to trusted people who genuinely want to support you.
