So... what is self-awareness?

Self-awareness is kind of one of those concepts that everyone assumes everyone else has the same definition they do - like meatloaf or being a considerate driver. Well, OK- maybe a little deeper than those.

Self-awareness includes an understanding of your strengths, weaknesses, feelings, thoughts and values- as well as how they affect the people you interact with. The challenge in that definition is that it doesn't include how difficult developing that "awareness" part of self-awareness.

What gets in the way of your awareness? I believe the biggest challenge is that we can't see what we can't see. Most people spend a lifetime never doing the work to explore that. Why? Because it is really hard work.

Stay tuned and I'll give you some ideas on how to do that.
