Quick Tips for Improving Self-Awareness


Listen Later

How self-aware do you consider yourself to be?

● Are you aware of your strengths and weaknesses?

● Do you know what kind of things trigger your emotional and physical responses in daily life?

● Are you conscious of the opportunities and challenges that present themselves to you on a daily basis, and what your options are to overcome them?

Self-awareness is an often-underestimated skill that anyone can learn to improve with the right activities.

The more you understand yourself, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to reach your long-term goals, find happiness, and even strengthen your overall confidence and self-esteem.

Today, we’re going to be looking at some of the ways you can quickly and effectively raise your self-awareness and overcome moments of confusion.

Defining Self-Awareness

Self-awareness is the art of paying attention to the way you think, behave, and feel. It means looking carefully at patterns in the way you perceive the world, yourself, and the people around you.

Self-awareness also includes understanding your moods and emotions and how they influence the things you do.

Someone who is self-aware can pay attention to their actions in any situation and determine whether they’re really taking the best steps to preserve their interests, or whether they could be walking in the wrong direction.

If you have negative default responses to things, self-awareness can help you to overcome them. For instance, those with alcohol issues or cigarette addictions often benefit from becoming more self-aware.

So, how do you become more self-aware? Try these techniques.

1. Notice What Bothers You About Others

This might seem counterproductive, as paying attention to others pulls the focus away from you. However, sometimes, when we’re struggling with our own self-awareness, we find it easier to project the things we don’t like in ourselves onto other people.

For instance, you might find that you absolutely hate it when others lie to you. However, if you look a little closer at your own actions, you might discover that you have a tendency to bend the truth too – even if only in certain aspects of your life.

Make a list of the properties you dislike about other people and try to focus on pinpointing the moments when you show those characteristics yourself.

At the same time, it may also be helpful to make a list of the things you like to see in others, so you can actively try to show more of those properties yourself.
