SELF-AWARENESS

Self-awareness entails understanding one’s own emotions, personal identity, goals, and values. This includes accurately assessing one’s strengths and limitations, having a positive mindset, and having a well-grounded sense of self-efficacy and optimism. A greater self-awareness entails the ability to understand the connections between an individual’s personal and socio-cultural identities, as well as the how interconnected thoughts, emotions, and actions are.
