When you know yourself well, it becomes easier to take care of your well-being and manage daily life. You can plan and implement things that support your well-being, making your life more aligned with who you truly are. This way, you become an active participant in your own life—things don’t just happen to you; you make them possible, capable, and real. However, this requires recognizing your values, needs, and goals, as well as working with them.

Self-awareness is understanding oneself: It means recognizing your strengths, weaknesses, desires, and needs, which supports mental well-being and self-esteem. You can develop self-awareness by pausing and reflecting on questions such as “What do I wish for?”, “How do I handle failures?” and “What do I need to feel well?”.

Self-reflection lays the foundation for a meaningful life: Becoming aware of your behavior, thoughts, and emotions helps you create a daily life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
