 What You Will Learn

If you are self-aware, it is easier for you to understand other people and detect how
they perceive you in return.
Learning how to become more self-aware is an 
early step in the creation of the life that you want.
We will define self-awareness and then cover eight specific actions you
can take to become more self aware
on a daily basis. 
 What is Self-awareness?
Self-awareness typically means having a deep understanding of your values, strengths,
weakness, habits, and “your why.”
How to apply self-awareness to different careers
Leadership
Social Work
Education
Nursing
HOW TO BECOME MORE SELF-AWARE THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE
1. LOOK AT YOURSELF OBJECTIVELY.

• Try to identify your current

understanding by writing out
your perceptions. 
• Think about things you are
proud of, or any
accomplishments that really
stand out throughout your
life.
• Think about your childhood
and what made you happy
 back then
 2. Keep A Journal

• Recording your thoughts

on paper helps to relieve
your mind of those ideas,
and clears it up to make
space for new information
and ideas

• All of these self-reflection

questions will help you
get a better idea of who
you are and what you
want out of life right now.
3. Write down your goals, plans, and priorities
Plan out your goals so they turn from ideas into a step-by-step process.
4. Perform Daily Self-reflection
Start by setting aside just 15 minutes each day
 
5. Practice meditation and other mindfulness habits

• What is your goal?

• What are you doing
that is working?
• What are you doing
that is acting as a
hindrance to your
success?
• How can you change
your process to
improve it?

• washing dishes,
• going for a run,
• going to church
6. Take personality and psychometric tests
There are no right or wrong answers to these tests
 7. Ask trusted friends to describe you

Make sure
your friends
know that
they are doing
this to help
you, not to
hurt you
 8. Ask for feedback at work
Write down any surprising strengths and weaknesses that you did not realize
you had before.
Finally, if
you want
another
positive way
to improve
your life,
then read
and learn
something
new every
day.
