The capacity to focus on oneself and how one's behaviors, ideas, or emotions line up with one's internal standards is known as self-awareness. High levels of self-awareness allow you to assess yourself objectively, control your emotions, connect your actions with your ideals, and accurately gauge how others see you.

There are two types of self-awareness,

Public self-awareness

• Being conscious of our appearance to others. We are more likely to follow social standards and act in ways that are acceptable in society because of this consciousness.

Private self-awareness

• Being able to observe and consider one's inner state. Private self-aware people are introspective and approach their emotions and responses with interest.

With self-awareness, we can clarify our values, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, strength and weaknesses. We are able to recognize the effect that we have on others. We can understand how people view us.
