Self-awareness is an important life tool that guides our perceptions, intentions and responses to our own behaviour.
“Self-awareness is about how you react to your environment, both externally and internally, in the pursuit of what is truly meaningful to you,” says human behavioural specialist Dr John Demartini, who founded the Demartini Institute (drdemartini.com).
“It’s a form of self-reflection, bringing your attention to how you respond and are functioning in your relationship to the world around you and your objectives. Self-awareness, ultimately, is about knowing yourself.”
So how can we get to know ourselves better? Let’s explore…
STEPPING UP
If you’re not really sure how self-aware you are or you’d like to expand your self-awareness, Dr Demartini says it’s quite simple.
“Our identity revolves around our true highest values and priorities. When we live in alignment with our highest priorities, we naturally become more self-aware,” he says.
