Self Awareness Defined. Self awareness is the capacity to recognize your own feelings, behaviors and characteristics-to understand your cognitive, physical and emotional self. At a basic level, it is simply understanding that you are a separate entity from others.
For example, seeing your face in the mirror is a type of private self-awareness. Feeling your stomach lurch when you realize you forgot to study for an important test or feeling your heart flutter when you see someone you are attracted to are also good examples of private self-awareness.
