Self-awareness is a long and ongoing process that is not as easy as it seems. Continuous self-discovery of the person is one of the reasons that ensure the continuity of this process. Two concepts that should not be confused with each other are self-awareness and consciousness. These two terms have different meanings. Consciousness is the recognition and awareness of those around him and himself, while the concept of self-awareness is the recognition of these awarenesses. It’s like the difference between looking and seeing.<\/p>\n

“Know thyself, know thyself” This ancient inscription on the temple of Apollo is an Ancient Greek<\/a> proverb. It is a phrase frequently used by wise philosophers who have written their names in history such as Plato<\/a> , Socrates and Pythagoras. This promise, which is the cornerstone of a sacred temple of the 4th century, and the message of self-awareness that is wanted to be given, maintains its importance today. Knowing and consciously paying attention to one’s own attitudes and orientations ensures his development.<\/p>\n Self-awareness, which is the most important component of emotional intelligence, is a must for a productive and happier life. An individual who knows himself can manage himself, take the right decisions and make the right choices. Individuals with self-awareness can control their emotions, thoughts and behaviors because they know themselves and always know their limits.<\/p>\n It is possible to apply many different methods in your daily life to improve your self-awareness. It should not be forgotten that the positive effects of the time and effort spent to have high self-awareness skills will satisfy you more than you might think. A person who has self-awareness and knows his essence better attracts more success and opportunities.<\/p>\n At certain times of the day, have time for yourself in your own space. At this time, you can take a step towards gaining self-awareness by keeping yourself away from all electronic devices and daily tasks and trying to focus only on yourself.<\/p>\n Inner self-awareness is how we perceive ourselves. External awareness is understanding how others perceive us. If the person’s internal self-awareness is high and external self-awareness is low, this person will not want to listen to external feedback. On the contrary, an individual with high external self-awareness and low internal self-awareness, instead of trying to understand what is going on within himself, thinks about how he is perceived from the eyes of others and tries to please them.<\/p>\n The desired feature is to be a person with high self-awareness both internally and externally. This situation has positive effects on empathy and healthy relationships. As a result of many studies, it has been concluded that self-awareness is also important for being a leader and achieving leadership success.<\/p>\n Questions to ask ourselves in order to increase inner self-awareness:<\/p>\n Questions to ask ourselves in order to increase external self-awareness:<\/p>\n Some characteristics of people with low self-awareness<\/p>\n According to the Johari Windows (Self-knowledge windows) model developed by two American psychologists, Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham in the 1950s, each person has 4 areas. Within these areas, we have various characteristics about ourselves. While we are aware of some of these features, we are not aware of some of our features on our own.<\/p>\n 1) Open Space:<\/strong> Both the individual and other people are aware of the features of the open space.<\/p>\n 2) Confidential Area: It<\/strong> is the area that we know about ourselves but that we do not prefer other people to know, and therefore other people do not know.<\/p>\n 3) Unknown Area:<\/strong> Neither we nor anyone else is aware of the features found in this area. We have various talents, weaknesses, bad sides and many more unknown features that we do not know yet. It is possible to suddenly see some of these features in crisis environments.<\/p>\n 4) Blind Area:<\/strong> We cannot see our blind area alone. Other people see and know features in the blind area. Unless the people around you come and tell you about these features, you cannot realize these features yourself. To narrow your blind area, you need to listen to other people’s comments about you.<\/p>\n Getting feedback from the people around you is a very important step for the development of self-awareness. Listening to the negative criticism that others will say about you will not be as easy as it seems, especially for those who have a defensive attitude. Getting corrections from people, even if it’s hurtful at times, will eventually make you stronger.<\/p>\n
