Purpose
Self-awareness refers to the ability to recognize and understand your own thoughts, emotions, behaviors, strengths, and weaknesses. It involves being conscious of your internal states and how they influence your actions and interactions with others. Self-awareness helps you identify areas for personal development and growth. By understanding your strengths and weaknesses, you can work on improving yourself and reaching your full potential.
