Key areas of self-awareness
We’ve discussed how to find yourself as a woman in this post.
But for today it’s gonna be all about self-awareness activities that you can do that will help you gain more awareness of who you are.
Let’s get started.
Before we start with the activities, there are some questions that I’ll need to address first.
What are the key areas of self-awareness?
There are 3 areas for self-awareness
- Values
- Personality traits
- Habits and emotion
Here is a brief description of what each one means:
Values:
Are what drives our actions. If before you make any big decision in your life you ask your family for their opinion then this action is driven by the value of family bonding.
Personality traits:
Personality traits are what sets you apart from any other woman.
Think of it as the activities you do daily that are a part of your personality trait.
Habits and emotions:
As humans, that’s what we are made of habits and emotions. If everything you do leads to the desired emotion (Negative or positive) and those emotions lead to the habits we do daily.
Once you’re aware of these self-awareness keys, it’ll be your compass to live a happy life.
What are the three self-awareness activities that develop the self?
3 self-awareness activities can help you to develop yourself.
- Physical
- Mental
- Emotional
Physical
Which is to do about anything physical to help you gain self-awareness.
Things such as journaling and meditation or doing yoga are a starter.
Mental
Mental self-awareness is to be aware of your thoughts and the mental chatter that goes around in your head.
This is essential to know as everything starts from there.
You can check this podcast from Natalie Bacon on mental chatter.
Emotional
Being aware of your emotions is a big part of developing yourself and if you fail to develop your emotion, it doesn’t matter what else you do.
Mastering emotion can be practicing your feelings ahead of time for those big events that seem to overwhelm you.
From what you read so far self-awareness compounds many things but they’re crucial to self-development.
What are some examples of self-awareness?
A friend of mine sent me this list that I love. I think it would be creative of you to make your list just like this one.
You can easily just take out a sheet of paper and write down the most important things to you in life.
Think about how you are affected by those things, and what they mean to you. There are no right or wrong answers.
This is a great tool to begin and explore self-awareness.
Seriously…… Just give it a try!

It’s so powerful to make yourself aware of the simple things in life.
One more thing to remember that we all have so many different things that are important to us as individuals.
They don’t need to make sense to anyone else. To be honest, sometimes it might not make sense to you.
The point is to gain self-awareness therefore, you can make progress. The progress will allow you to understand who you are and your purpose in life.
This is also great for self-development.
Trust me you have a purpose..! It might take some time to unlock what that may be but you have one.
Just think when was the last time you have actually sat in your own thoughts and answered the questions you asked yourself.
Now that you’re aware of self-awareness examples, here is how to exercise self-awareness?

How do you exercise self-awareness?
As I wrote earlier there are 2 ways that you can exercise self-awareness.
First, physically, which is to write your thoughts in a journal.
This process is called a brain dump.
Another exercise you can do is to sit in silence and watch your thoughts come up and go.
Either way, you should include physical and mental exercises in your self-awareness routine and make it a part of your daily life.
Final Note
Self-awareness can be the greatest tool anyone could have but not everyone is aware of it.
When you’re aware of your thoughts you have the power to change the way you live, but with cautious self-awareness, this only can happen.
