If we ask different people about self-knowledge, we are often faced with the answer that they say that we know everything about ourselves and we know ourselves well, but the problem is that these people do not know anything about their interests, beliefs and goals, so they have not reached true self-knowledge. It can also be said that problems will change their nature with self-knowledge, and problems can often be easily solved with self-knowledge and complete self-knowledge. But what is self-knowledge in fact? What should we do to know ourselves? If you are also looking for answers to these questions and want to achieve true self-knowledge, I suggest you to read this article.
Self-knowledge and personal growth
What is self-knowledge?
If we want to have a general definition of self-knowledge, we can say that in fact, self-knowledge means complete and deep knowledge of our own inner beliefs, opinions, talents and abilities. With self-knowledge and understanding of our abilities and talents, we can find our best self, which can often lead to our personal and social progress. With self-knowledge, we can actually find the truth of our life and the reality of our life and enjoy our life. For example, self-awareness helps us to have the right reaction to problems and problems in different situations and to control our emotions or unpleasant behaviors. It can also be said that self-awareness makes us reach mental health and change our personal and social life, which improves the quality of a person's life.
What does self-knowledge mean in psychology?
Self-knowledge in psychology means a continuous process to know the "real me", that is, a person can create a clearer and more accurate picture of his personality traits, emotions, needs, values, goals and behavioral patterns. To have high self-esteem. In self-knowledge, the question is not only "What kind of person am I?" Rather, what is more important is "why have I become like this and how do I act?". In other words, self-knowledge is an attempt to understand our inner roots and mechanisms, to understand what beliefs are behind our choices and reactions, what experiences have affected the formation of our personality, and what things push us forward or stop us in life.
Self-knowledge usually deepens in different ways, such as:
- Reflection and self-observation: paying attention to recurring thoughts, feelings and behaviors and their meaning.
- Recognizing emotions and needs: Understanding what things scare us, make us happy, angry or calm and what needs are hidden behind each emotion.
- Awareness of core values and beliefs: What principles are important to us and which beliefs guide our decisions.
- Recognizing strengths, limitations and wounds: Seeing abilities without exaggeration and accepting weaknesses without blaming.
- Investigating the role of past experiences: Understanding the effect of family, culture, relationships and important life events on "me today".
- Using feedback from others or psychotherapy: Because sometimes we see parts of ourselves only in the mirror of relationships.
