What is self-awareness? Self-awareness is part of our emotional maturity. If you trust yourself, do you possess self-awareness? Is it a way to understand ourselves better? What do you achieve in life with self-awareness? What is the benefit of self-awareness? Are you really a kind person who never hurts anyone, or is it actually something more subtle?
What is it?
What is self-awareness? Self-awareness is that you trust yourself, that you realize that you are a personality. That you exist and can make your own decisions. You trust your own decisions, while taking into account your own limitations, but also taking into account your own qualities. Self-awareness is the ability to deal with yourself.
Level
The level of self-awareness allows you to:
- Objective and
- To be described correctly.
For example: I am very kind and I would never hurt anyone. That’s correct to a certain extent, until someone touches my child. Then I am able to I have to take my limitations into account, because I am able to someone who has touched my child. My self-awareness level includes my limitations and I am aware of them. Think to yourself about the same sentence as mine above and then think about:
- Animal abuse,
- Child abuse,
- People smuggling.
Perhaps you would like to describe yourself differently now?
Extreme
Of course, the above examples are extremes. In everyday life it is indeed a lot more subtle. For example: I am very kind and I would never hurt anyone. Until someone steals my parking spot or cuts me off. Or I have doubts about something for such a long time that I could do something to myself (so to speak!). In everyday life, the level of self-awareness is a little more subtle.
Adult
Emotional maturity affects our lives and affects what we can achieve in our lives. A basis of this emotional maturity is the ability to handle ourselves. Our self-awareness is a personal competence, the ability to deal with ourselves and depending on how well developed it is, you know yourself well, reasonably or insufficiently.
