Self-awareness is about looking deep inside ourselves as distinct, unique individuals. It is a totally private experience which we can only undertake alone – although we may choose to share our thoughts and feelings associated with the process with others.
By practising self-awareness we are able to explore our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. We are able to recognise those thoughts which are helpful and make us beautifully unique, and also identify those thoughts that hold us back and cause pain in our lives.
By being self-aware and introspective, we can explore both our mental health and our sense of spirituality. When we know and understand ourselves, we are able to live a life that it aligned to our values, desires, feelings and character. Through this, we are able to live a life of fulfilment, contentment and peace.
