Answer:

From the ancient Greek aphorism "know yourself" to Western psychology, the topic of self-awareness has always been an intriguing topic of research by philosophers and psychologists.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Daniel Goleman, self-awareness is the cornerstone of emotional intelligence. Managing our emotions and thoughts in a moment is a key skill to better understand ourselves, to build grit, to be at peace with who we are, and to proactively manage our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Add that people who have a developed self-awareness tend to act consciously rather than react passively, to have good psychological health and a positive outlook on life. They also have a greater depth of life experience and are more likely to be more compassionate to themselves and to others.

We are no longer self-aware as most of the time we are simply “not in the here and now” to observe ourselves. In other words, we are not there to pay attention to what is happening in or around us.
