            2.4 SELF-AWARENESS

            Understanding one's own needs, desires, habits, qualities, behaviours, and feelings is what self-awareness is all about.
            Let's attempt to explain this with a short narrative:
            Once upon a time, a pregnant lion was very sick. She dies shortly after
            giving birth. Unsure of what to do, the infant wanders into an adjacent
            field and joins a herd of sheep. When the mother sheep notices the cub,
            she decides to nurture it as her own. As a result, the lion cub grows up with
            the other sheep and begins to think and act like a sheep. It’d bleat like a
            sheep and eat grass!

            When we are not conscious of ourselves, we end up going in a direction
            that we are unsure about. As a result, it is critical that we are self-aware.
            When  a  person  becomes  self-aware,  he  or  she  becomes  aware  of
            everything and begins to look at things or circumstances objectively. It is crucial to our understanding of ourselves, our
            relationships with others, and our understanding of the world around us.

            2.4.1 Steps to Take to Become Self-Aware

            The following steps will guide you in practicing and enhancing self-awareness:
            1.   Become Conscious of One's Emotions: The first step in developing self-awareness is to become more conscious
                of one’s emotions. This means noticing how one feel in various situations—whether it’s joy, frustration, sadness, or
                excitement—and paying attention to the physical sensations and thoughts that accompany these emotions.

            2.   Develop a Practice of Journaling One's Feelings: The second step is to develop a practice of journaling your
                feelings. By writing down your emotions, triggers, and experiences, you create a safe space to process and reflect on
                them. Journaling helps you track patterns in your emotional responses and gain deeper insights into what influences
                your behaviour.
            3.   Broaden One's Practice to Other Aspects of Life: The third step in practicing self-awareness is to expand your
                focus  beyond  just  your  emotions.  Start  observing  other  areas  of  your  life,  such  as  your  thoughts,  reactions  to
                situations, values, and actions. Reflect on how these aspects interconnect and shape your experiences, enabling you
                to see the bigger picture of who you are.
