1 - No Self-Awareness
At this stage, you have little to no understanding of your emotions, thoughts, or behaviors. You are reactive, often blaming external factors for your challenges without examining your internal responses. There's a disconnect between your actions and the consequences you experience.
2 - Limited Self-Awareness
You may occasionally notice your emotions or reactions but struggle to make sense of them. You might realize after the fact that you've acted impulsively or out of alignment with your values. There's some recognition of patterns, but no consistent effort to change them.
3 - Emerging Self-Awareness
You reflect on your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in real time. You begin to recognize the connection between your internal state and external outcomes. There’s a growing understanding of your triggers, strengths, and weaknesses, though you may still struggle with consistent self-regulation.
4 - Developed Self-Awareness
You consistently reflect on your actions and emotions. You are attuned to your internal experiences and understand how your thoughts and feelings impact your behavior. You actively work on self-regulation and adjusting your actions based on deeper insight into yourself.
5 - Full Self-Awareness
You have a deep understanding of your inner world and how it influences your external environment. You are highly mindful, in control of your emotional responses, and able to consciously align your actions with your values. You are open to feedback and have a strong capacity for self-growth.
