In order to be self-aware, we need to be able to step back and view ourselves objectively. This can be difficult to do, because we are so used to thinking of ourselves in a certain way. However, it is important to try to see ourselves as others see us, in order to gain a better understanding of who we are.

One way to become more self-aware is to keep a journal. This can be a private journal that nobody else reads, or it can be a public blog. Writing down our thoughts and feelings can help us to see patterns in our behavior, and to better understand our triggers and responses to different situations.

It can also be helpful to talk to somebody else about ourselves. This could be a friend, family member, therapist, or counselor. Talking to somebody who can offer impartial feedback can help us to see ourselves in a different light.

Finally, it is important to be mindful of our own behavior. This means being aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. The more we can stay in the moment, the more we will be able to see ourselves clearly.
