Content: What are the benefits of self-awareness? It’s hard to overstate the benefits of self-awareness, so I’ll just list a few of the most common positives that come from increasing our self-awareness: Better relationships. It’s difficult to ask for what we want and need in a relationship when we’re not very clear about those things ourselves. What’s more, the less self-awareness we have, the easier it is to get defensive in our interactions with people, which is a recipe for disaster in any type of relationship. If you want to improve your relationships, start by trying to become more self-aware. Improved moods. Our mood and how we tend to feel hour-to-hour is largely dependent on how we choose to think and behave.
