Gaining self-awareness is the first step in creating the life you want. Without this awareness, we don't know what may be holding us back and preventing us from becoming the best versions of ourselves. 
 

Here are ONLY some of the areas in life where being self-aware can improve your situation and perspective: 

 

1. Insight: If you are self-aware, you can understand people better and how they perceive you in return. 

2. Personal Boundaries: Having self-awareness means that you have a clear understanding of your personality, including your strengths and weaknesses, your thoughts and beliefs, your emotions, and your motivations.

3. Independence: Self-awareness helps you take control of your life, create what you want, and master your future.

4. Focus: Where you choose to focus your energy, emotions, and reactions determines where you will end up in life. Being self-aware helps you filter out the things that don't serve you well. 

5. Happiness & Fulfillment: Being self-aware helps you connect with people and opportunities that bring you more joy and fulfillment. 

6. Emotional Intelligence: You will grow as a person and develop healthy communication skills. 

7. Empathy: If you are self-aware you will be able to sense other people's emotions and imagine what they may be thinking or feeling. 

8. Career Satisfaction: People with heightened self-awareness are able to choose career opportunities to match their interests and skill sets.

 

My wish for you is to gain insight and perspective on what may be holding you back, develop the ability to break through these constraints, and to live the life you were meant to live!
