Self-awareness

It includes recognition of your personality, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes. Developing self-awareness can help you recognize when you are stressed or under pressure. It is also a prerequisite for effective communication and interpersonal relationships, and is important for developing empathy for others.

The Benefits of self-awareness The better you understand yourself, the better you are able to accept or change (for the better) who you are. Being in the dark about yourself means that you will continue to get caught up in your own internal struggles and allow outside forces to mold and shape you.
