Little disclaimer: What's written below is from an article about self awareness written by Tasha Eurich.(it's not the whole article just few sections)
"Research suggests that when we see ourselves clearly, we are more confident and more creative. We make sounder decisions, build stronger relationships, and communicate more effectively. We’re less likely to lie, cheat, and steal. We are better workers who get more promotions. And we’re more-effective leaders with more-satisfied employees and more-profitable companies.
Across the studies we examined, two broad categories of self-awareness kept emerging. The first, internal self-awareness, represents how clearly we see our own values, passions, aspirations, fit with our environment, reactions (including thoughts, feelings, behaviors, strengths, and weaknesses), and impact on others. We’ve found that internal self-awareness is associated with higher job and relationship satisfaction, personal and social control, and happiness; it is negatively related to anxiety, stress, and depression.
The second category, external self-awareness, means understanding how other people view us, in terms of those same factors listed above. Our research shows that people who know how others see them are more skilled at showing empathy and taking others’ perspectives. For leaders who see themselves as their employees do, their employees tend to have a better relationship with them, feel more satisfied with them, and see them as more effective in general." ...
Are you self-aware? Do you agree that it helps you have more control of your life and understand yourself better?
Man is totally depraved and unable to improve, enlighten, and/or educate him/her Self into a Better Awareness. We already are Consciously Aware of how fallen and f-up we are.…unless deluded to the point of thinking I and All is/are Good. We can, however, lie to ourselves in Self absorbed and deluudedness
Unfortunately, 3000 years of repetitive history on man chasing Utopia.. when in fact it is his/her individual Utopia that is being Actualized (Rogers) into a Conscious Awareness.. "No Charge"
