Self-awareness: The key to our healing and self-realization process. Learning how to better understand ourselves can take us so much further when we interact as individuals, part of a society built by individuals with their uniqueness. Recognizing who we are and how we are feeling, as well as our strengths and weaknesses, what triggers us and why, will allow us to respond more suitably in each situation we confront. We can’t control events and emotions but we can learn to manage. Self-awareness helps us achieve our goals and build strong relationships. With ourselves first, when we learn to have compassion, and with others. This includes admitting you don't always have an answer and owning your mistakes, letting yourself be emotionally vulnerable while remaining capable and conscious. Understanding yourself is the first step to understanding others and what surrounds you. We have mentioned @doctorshefali and her work as an expert in family dynamics and personal development. She also talks about the importance of building a strong connection with ourselves and going further: while understanding better how we feel and what we really want to achieve, besides family and societal expectations of us, allows us to build the most realised version of ourselves.
