The Star of Self-Awareness

How to become more self-aware

One thing we can do is reflect and answer five special questions.

This helps us become more self-aware.

And self-awareness really matters in today’s world, doesn’t it? :)

Let’s jump into the Star of Self-Awareness!



1. “What are my core values and beliefs?”

Why does this question matter?

Because knowing what truly matters to us helps us make better decisions.

It also helps us live in a way that feels true to who we are.

Think of it as a compass guiding us through life.

You know what I mean?



2. “What are my strengths and weaknesses?”

We can’t be self-aware without knowing:

→ What we’re good at

→ And what we’re not so good at

Right?

Knowing what you’re good at lets you do more of it.

Knowing what you’re not good at helps you avoid wasting too much energy trying to fix them.

Doubling down on weaknesses? Not the best move, right?



3. “What are my passions and interests?”

Passions are the things that make you excited and happy, right?

The same goes for interests.

They’re like personal fuel. Bringing joy and fulfillment.

You can’t truly understand yourself without knowing what fuels you.

Are you with me?



4. “What are my goals and aspirations?”

Your goals and dreams are like stars in the sky. Something to aim for.

They keep you motivated and focused on what you wanna achieve in life.

That’s why being aware of them matters.



5. “How do I handle adversity and failure?”

This is an important question.

Knowing how we deal with tough times helps us become more self-aware.

If we see setbacks as dramatic failures, we can shift that perspective.

This question helps us understand how we think about failure.

And over time, change it.



That’s it.

Here’s what you could try:

→ Schedule some “me time” on your calendar

→ Grab a pen and paper

→ And answer those five special questions

If you do, here’s what might happen:

→ You’ll become more self-aware

→ You’ll understand yourself better

→ You’ll know why you do what you do

→ And you’ll let your uniqueness shine

After all, our uniqueness is our ultimate asset, right? :)
