Introduction

Most of the time, we live on “automatic mode.”

We react, make decisions, or speak without always knowing why we do so.

Self-awareness is that moment when you look within yourself — when you become able to recognise what you feel, what you think, and how this influences your behaviour.

“To know yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” — Aristotle

Psychologists consider self-awareness as the foundation of emotional intelligence and personal growth.

It’s a skill you can develop throughout your life — and it begins by observing without judging.
