August is Self Awareness Month

When you think about the best ways to care for yourself; the number one thing is to take care of your health. So, not only is this month about self awareness, but it also is National Wellness Month.

At the same time, the goal of this month is to encourage everyone to take control of their health and well-being.

So, are you ready to be the best you can be?

Benefits of Self Awareness

When you are aware of yourself and your surroundings; you will have more confidence.

Although you may think you are aware of who you are; that may not be the case. For example, you may want to take a look at yourself in the mirror. In other words, it is important that you like what you see. Check out my Compliment Yourself – National Compliment Your Mirror Day post for tips on improving your self-esteem.

Usually, when people have low self-esteem; this tends to reflect on how others see you.

So, if you are ready to develop better self awareness; below are a few of my tips.

In the first place, check in with yourself. Ask yourself how your day went. Moreover, if something doesn’t go well; ask yourself how to have the next day be better.

At the same time, you should ask people close to you for feedback. For instance, ask them for anything they see that they find annoying. When you receive constructive criticism; you can take what they’re saying to improve your relationship with people around you.

Lastly, when you receive feedback you don’t like; don’t get defensive.
