Do you want to be a happy person? Do you want to be an influential person? Do you want a person who takes good decisions or a good leader? There is only one way for all these: be a person with self-awareness. This is the most essential way to grow your personality.
Self-awareness is a realization of your actions, thoughts, and emotions. A self-aware person can assess himself, control his emotions and improve his behaviour. He can also understand what others think about him. In reality, only a few people succeed in achieving self-awareness. By improving your self-awareness, you can grow your personality and make necessary changes in your personality.
There are two levels of self-awareness: First one is public self-awareness. And the second one is private self-awareness. Public self-awareness is the awareness about how you appear before others and others’ notions about you. Private self-awareness is achieved by introspecting yourself and understanding yourself.
Researchers say that self-awareness is very important. Because, when we introspect ourselves, our thoughts and values become clearer to us. We get a clear idea about our behaviour, strength, and weakness. Only self-aware persons can improve relationships and make others happy. When we start looking outside of ourselves, we will be able to understand other people’s notions about us.
Now, let us see how to become self-aware persons. Imagine the best version of yourselves. Talk about the achievements we are going to make and about our talents and capabilities. Envision them as being materialized.
Another thing is to ask questions to yourself. For instance, imagine that you are a timid person who is not bold enough to face an audience and talk. Instead of asking why I am not able to talk, ask what I can do to overcome my fear or timidity. Convert negative questions into positive ones. Understand that you have a chance to overcome your problem, and act accordingly.
There is nothing wrong with being curious to know what others think about you. So, ask them directly. This will enable you to get a more accurate picture of yourself and will help you to improve if needed.
It is good to write and keep a note of the problems you are facing, and the ways to overcome them. For instance, write down the biggest challenge you faced on a particular day, the way you overcame it, and the emotion you went through meanwhile. This will indeed help.
