How Self Aware Are You?

Firstly, what is self- awareness? Self–awareness is to know yourself well: your likes, your dislikes, your strengths, weaknesses and why you think and behave in certain ways. It helps you understand what you want and what you don’t want from dating, a partner and life in general. Coaching is all about promoting self-awareness.

If you feel it is really hard to think about your strengths ask a friend. They will find it easy to give you a long list of all the things they like about you.  Also if you don’t know what’s great about you, how will anyone know? Here are some other questions that will help you be self aware.
