Essentially, it is a psychological state in which oneself becomes the focus of attention. “self-awareness is [also] the ability to look at your own words and actions from a perspective outside of yourself; to see yourself as others see you.” In this sense, we can see how self-awareness is a way of introspection that doesn’t shut the world out, but rather brings it in for assessment against one’s own feelings and behaviors. While self-awareness is something that is central to who you are, it is not something that you are acutely focused on at every moment of every day. Instead, self-awareness becomes woven into the fabric of who you are and emerges at different points depending on the situation and your personality. When we engage in self-evaluation, we can give some thought to whether we are thinking and feeling and acting as we “should” or following our standards and values. This is referred to as comparing against our standards of correctness. We do this daily, using these standards as a way to judge the rightness of our thoughts and behaviors. Using these standards is a major component of practicing self-control, as we evaluate and determine whether we are making the right choices to achieve our goals.
