The Star of Self-Awareness
How to be more self-aware?
One thing we can do is reflect and answer five special questions.
This way, you’ll become more self-aware.
Let’s see how to use the Star of Self-Awareness.
1. “What are my core values and beliefs?”
Why is this question important?
Because knowing what really matters to us helps us make better decisions.
Also, it helps us live in a way that feels true to who we are.
It’s like having a compass that guides us through life.
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 good at
Right?
Understanding what you’re good at helps you do more of those things.
Understanding what you’re not good at helps you improve and grow stronger.
Even though I’m a big believer of:
→ Focusing on your strengths
→ Just mitigating your weaknesses
3. “What are my passions and interests?”
Your passions are the things that make you excited and happy, right?
The same goes for your interests.
It’s like our personal fuel that brings us joy and fulfillment.
We can’t understand ourselves without knowing that special fuel.
Are you with me?
4. “What are my goals and aspirations?”
Your goals and dreams are like stars in the sky, right?
They give you something to aim for.
They keep you motivated and focused on what you wanna achieve in life.
So we need to be aware of them, don’t we?
5. “How do I handle adversity and failure?”
This is a special question.
Knowing how we deal with tough times helps us become more self-aware.
If we see setbacks as a dramatic failure, well, we can change our mind.
This question helps us understand our framework in terms of failures.
And eventually, change it.
You just need to take some time and answer those 5 special questions.
This way:
→ You’ll become more self-aware
→ You’ll understand yourself better
→ You’ll know why you do what you do
→ And you’ll make your uniqueness shine
