Self awareness

@Meenakshi29

Self-awareness is beneficial to our growth. It is ever so important. This was a great reminder to be aware of my behavior, thoughts, words, etc. 

@Meenakshi29

I definitely agree with you! It used to make me uncomfortable being self aware at times but I've learned that growth only comes after self-acceptance.

So glad to hear that ☺ yess before we walk for growth we need to stop and accep that I am enough to go on this path no need to change well improvement is good but change is not... Self acceptance is really important ☺

I did not start becoming more self-aware of my any of these things until I reached young adulthood. It was only when a late relative did some role plays with me that I understood.

@Meenakshi29 What a great post! I usually try to develop self awareness by engaging in self introspection and practicing mindfulness through things like meditation.

In fact, selfawareness is different for everyone. For example, I know for myself that I need to devote more time to health and sports.  Now I have started to do this. I try to do everything possible for my own well-being. I always find time for quality exercise, try to eat right and take care of my health. Recently, I discovered something new and, let's say, an alternative to the usual gym workouts. This resource  https://betterme.world/articles/walking-6-miles-a-day/ has some very good information on how you can maintain and improve your health through simple walking. Now this activity for me has also become a meditation and support for my health.

I gain self awareness through journaling, just like you. I gain awareness of my thoughts and behaviors by doing this. It helps me tract my negative and positive thoughts that arise when doing a task or when facing a situation.

@Meenakshi29 Being self-aware entails being aware of your actions, ideas, needs, vulnerabilities, strengths, and coping mechanisms. The difficulties involved in self-examination deter a lot of people from doing it. But self-awareness enables us to recognize what suits and doesn't suit us. Journaling works well for me in this regard. 😊 How do you investigate your self-awareness?
