“At a certain level of self-awareness, we perceive something supernatural in us.”   Leo Tolstoy, Writer.
 
The term self awareness comes up frequently in wellness circles today, but it is hardly a new concept.  For millennia, the value of self-awareness has been recognized around the world, evidenced through art, literature, religion, and a variety of ritual practices passed down from one generation to another.  But what is self-awareness exactly, and why is it so important?
 
Let's start with the "what" part of things.  To be self-aware is to be knowledgeable of and attuned to one's own being.  Who are you?  Where are things at with you?  What are your core values?  What are your core beliefs?  What motivates you to do the things you do?  Once you take some time to reflect on what self-awareness is, it doesn't take long to see why this quality is so important, and how its presence – or absence – can have a profound impact on your life.

Asking yourself the following questions will help you block out all the excess static and get tuned in to what's right for you.
