what is the importance of self awareness?

Self-awareness is a way for us to explore our individual personalities, value systems, beliefs, natural inclinations, and tendencies. Because we are all different in the way we react to situations, learn, and process information, it’s helpful to spend time in self-reflection to gain a better insight into ourselves. But, why is self-awareness important? Self-awareness is important because when we have a better understanding of who we truly are and with this knowledge we are empowered to make changes and to build on our areas of strength as well as identify areas where we would like to make improvements. Self-awareness is the first step towards setting goals for ourselves. Recycling is good for the environment, in the sense, we are using old and waste products which are of no use and then converting them back to same new products. Since we are saving resources and are sending less trash to the landfills, it helps in reducing air and water pollution. Energy saving is important if we are to reduce the future effects of global warming. If we recycle one aluminum can, we are able to save enough energy to run a TV for around 3 hours. This will obviously depend on the energy consumption of your TV, but it gives you a great idea as to just how much energy can be saved during the process of recycling products.

Self-awareness is an important skill to acquire because it is an attitude that will help you face problems better and get along with people well. When you are self-aware you have a skill set that can build bridges, so to speak, rather than burn relationships down. To be self-aware is to be emotionally intelligent. You become someone who can take life’s turbulence in stride with a smile on your face and peace in your heart. It is an important key to success. Moreover, when you are self-aware you get to build stronger and better relationships with your family and friends. Of course you don’t need to be voted Ms or Mr Congeniality. What you need is to learn to empathize so that you think things through before you say something or do something and hurt other people’s feelings in the process. You become a positive person who spreads positive vibes despite facing the stress of day to day living.

1.Empathy. Having the ability to see when we are wrong or when we have made a mistake allows us to see other peoples’ perspectives and to be empathetic to their situation or their feelings.
2.Admission. Have you noticed when people aren’t self-aware, it is very difficult for them to apologize or admit that they are wrong? Often, these people can’t even SEE that they are wrong in the first place. They tend to think that they are always right and if something doesn’t work out as planned, it is always someone else’s fault.
3.Man in the Mirror. If we can acknowledge our flaws, we can make positive change to improve upon them. Knowing is half the battle…and if you can admit to the qualities that are less than stellar about yourself…you can change them or improve upon them.
4.Tolerance. When you can see your own faults, it is easier to accept others’.
5.Humility. Understanding that we ourselves are not perfect allows us to get off our high-horses. Further, know we can always be better and as a result, can be thankful for the good that does come our way.
6. Likability. Let’s face it: No one likes a know-it-all or an individual who thinks they are always right. Having the ability to see other peoples viewpoints, to be open and flexible, and acknowledge that you are not the only person who has the answer makes you a more attractive person.
