How does self awareness help?
Self-awareness allows us to see things from the perspective of others, practice self-control, work creatively and productively, and experience pride in ourselves and our work as well as general self-esteem (Silvia & O’Brien, 2004). It leads to better decision making (Ridley, Schutz, Glanz, & Weinstein, 1992).
How can self awareness be improved in communication?
Build your self-awareness in your communications:
- Use “I” statements. Simply say what you think or feel about something, and own it.
- Be specific and non-judgemental.
- Don’t be afraid to describe how something made you feel.
- Make sure your verbal and non-verbal communications are saying the same thing!
