Now we have some clearcut examples of self-awareness in mind.

We
know what it looks like to embrace self-awareness and grow. But how do
you do it? What did our leading characters do to practice self-awareness?

There are many ways to build and practice self-awareness, but here are
some of the most effective:

1. Practice mindfulness and meditation

Mindfulness refers to being present in the moment and paying attention

to yourself and your surroundings rather than getting lost in thought or
ruminating or daydreaming.

Meditation is the practice of focusing your attention on one thing, such as

your breath, a mantra, or a feeling, and letting your thoughts drift by
instead of holding on to them.

Both practices can help you become more aware of your internal state
and your reactions to things. They can also help you identify your
thoughts and feelings and keep from getting so caught up in them that
you lose your hold on your “self.”
