Self-awareness requires an ability to tune into our true feelings, evaluate and monitor our emotions, and manage them. The goal is balance, not emotional suppression — recognizing that every feeling has its value and significance. The next step is realizing that we have the freedom of choice — that we are not beholden to our sentiments. Only by learning how to overcome instinctive responses can we truly become emotionally self-aware.
