There is an inner wisdom in each of us when we take the time to look inside. Not only do we have the capacity to know and understand ourselves, but we can also steer ourselves, evolve, grow and change. This process all happens through self-awareness, which is a consciousness of self: our feelings, motives, desires, beliefs, tendencies, and thoughts, and all the ways we engage with the world around us.
This week I speak with Beth Gibbs about her new book, Enlighten Up! Finding Clarity, Contentment and Resilience in a Complicated World. In our conversation we talk about:
- Defining self-awareness;
- Differentiating self-awareness from self-criticism;
- How we can become more self-aware;
- The five layers of self-awareness;
- Practices that cultivate deeper self-awareness.
