Self Awareness What is 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 things, learn, and synthesize information, it’s helpful to occasionally spend time in self-reflection to gain a better insight into ourselves.
Why is self awareness important?
Self awareness is important because when we have a better understanding of ourselves, 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 often a first step to goal setting.
Examples of self awareness: * Preferred learning styles * Aptitude for specific career fields * Natural academic ability (athletics, mathematics, English, etc.) * Personality traits (introvert, extrovert, sensitive, judgmental, etc.) * Religious beliefs * Political viewpoints * Values (ethical, with integrity, scrupulous, etc.)
