According to the Greek writer Pausanias, “Know thyself” was inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. This saying has also been attributed to at least six ancient Greek sages, including Socrates.

There is no way to manage yourself better unless you know what makes you tick. Your mental and emotional health depend entirely on your ability to understand why you behave the way you do, and your power to effect the changes necessary if your behavior leaves something to be desired.

Achieving self-awareness involves exploring our individual personalities, values, beliefs, natural inclinations, and tendencies. When we have a better understanding of ourselves, we are empowered to make changes and to build on our strengths. Self-awareness is the first step to goal-setting, because how can you set goals for yourself if you don’t know who you are? Knowing what you want is impossible without knowing who you are. Craving fame and fortune without assessing if you truly have the personality to cope with all its pressures is a thoroughly rocky road, and evidence would suggest it is a road much-travelled.

Self awareness can cover a lot of ground, but here are a few areas to consider,

Preferred learning styles – There are known to be various styles of learning that suit certain individuals better than others. Learning in the wrong style can hinder your accomplishments and create the impression, to yourself and others, that you are not intelligent. The three main learning styles are auditory, visual and kinesthetic.

Auditory learners better process information when they listen to it; visual learners need to see the information in front of them for it to properly sink in; and kinesthetic learners are truly at their best when they are physically involved in the learning process, actually hands-on feeling their way through it.

There are many other sub-types of learning styles beside these, and unless you know which suits you best, your progress may be hampered. It does not mean you will have access to the correct style in all situations, but it does mean you will know why your concentration may be drifting and that you need to make that extra effort to concentrate.

Aptitude for specific fields – This includes your natural academic or sporting prowess, so you can play to your strengths and improve in weaker areas.

Personality traits – You need to know whether you are a natural introvert or extrovert, and whether are you prone to being sensitive or judgmental. Introverts who fail to address their feelings can find they are emotionally hijacked whenever they feel socially exposed.

Religious & political beliefs – You may or may not take interest in these areas, but you should know exactly where you stand if you do, so you can rationalize your viewpoints if challenged, or keep quiet when discretion seems the better part of valor. Emotions can run very deep with both of these subjects, and it may be that managing yourself better means keeping quiet, lest you run the risk of being emotionally hijacked by the ferocity of your views, and alienating all around you.
