How to Improve Self-Awareness

practice daily self-reflection

It allows us to understand ourselves on a deeper level. This unlocks thoughts and emotions that, in another case, wouldn't be considered.

ask for feedback

It is most useful when it is provided by those people who understand us and are honest. It is important to be told what we need to hear better than what we want to hear.

question your decisions

This allows us to better understand the motives behind our decisions and explore them further, meaning that we can be confident that the decisions we make are good ones.

practice saying 'no'

To master this skill, we should set ourselves goals for the number of temptations we will resist each day and increase this number as we improve.

recognize your strengths and weaknesses

When we are aware of our vulnerability we can work on it and seek help if it is needed to make the necessary improvements.
