self awareness
Recognizing one's nature
Self awareness is the capacity to recognize yourself as a distinct individual with your own thoughts, feelings, and existence.
It includes understanding how you appear to others and how your actions affect them.
In psychology, self awareness distinguishes humans and some animals from creatures that don't recognize themselves in mirrors.
Her self awareness made her a better leader.
