The need for self-awareness is about being conscious of your own personal assets like your personality, values, habits, needs and emotions. Self-awareness can improve your judgment and help you identify opportunities for professional development and personal growth. Understanding your personality can help you find situations in which you will thrive, and help you avoid situations in which you will experience too much stress. Understanding your emotions, what causes them, and how they impact your thoughts and actions is what’s called emotional self-awareness. People who are highly emotionally self-aware are better able to read their ‘gut feelings’ and use them as a guide in decision making. Some people are driven by mental intellect. Everyone is unique and valuable in their own way.

Affirmation: We are all different and unique and have an opportunity to grow and thrive.
