Self awareness is the first step in creating what you want and mastering your. Where you focus your attention, your emotions, reactions, personality and behavior determine where you go in life. It help you to be timely discovering for striking.
Having self awareness allows you to see where your thoughts and emotions are taking you to. It also allows you to see the controls of your emotions, behavior, and your real self so you can make the changes you want. Until you are aware in the moment of the controls to your thoughts, emotions, words, and behavior, you will have difficulties  making changes in the direction of your life.

Develop Self Awareness
Self awareness is developed through practices in focusing your attention on the details of your personality and behavior. It isn't learned from reading a book. When you read a book you are focusing your attention on the conceptual ideas in the book. With your attention in a book you are practicing not paying attention to your own behavior, emotions and personality.
Why Develop Self Awareness?
As you develop self awareness you are able to make changes in the thoughts and interpretations you make in your mind. Changing the interpretations in your mind allows you to change your emotions. Self awareness is one of the attributes of Emotional Intelligence and an important factor in achieving success.
Self-awareness has been called "arguably the most fundamental issue in psychology, from both a developmental and an evolutionary perspective".
In psychology, the concept of "self-awareness" is used in different ways:
  • As a form of intelligence, self-awareness can be an understanding of one's own knowledge, attitudes, and opinions. Alfred Binet's first attempts to create an intelligence test included items for "auto-critique" – a critical understanding of oneself.
  • Our general inaccuracy about our own abilities, knowledge, and opinions has created many popular phenomena for research such as the better than average effect.
  • Albert Bandura has created a category called self-efficacy that builds on our varying degrees of self-awareness.
Self Awareness in Adolescent
Before going into self-awareness in adolescents there are a few terms that must be stated that fit and help you to really understand just what self-awareness is. There are self-esteem, self -concept and self representation. Let’s start with self-esteem. This term is used in psychology to reflect person's overall emotional evaluation of his or her own worth. It is a judgment of oneself as well as an attitude toward their self (Wikipedia). Self-concept is the idea that you have about the kind of person you are, and the mental image one has of oneself according to Webster. Self representation is how you represent yourself in public and around others.
Self-awareness in adolescent is when they are becoming conscious of their emotions. Most children by the age to two are aware of emotions such as shame, guilt, pride and embarrassment (Zeanah, 84). But they do not fully understand how those emotions affect their life. By time they become thirteen they are really starting to understand how those emotions have an impact on their lives. Although they are going through puberty they really get to understand and really get in touch with their emotions. The emotions that flow through them at the time they make decisions are not always good and that is part of what makes adults believe they are confused, but they really are not.
Self Awareness in Relationships
Relationships are easy until there is emotional turmoil. There is process of learning to get their emotions together in under control. This is the same whether you are at work or in your personal life. When you can change the interpretation in your mind of what you think you can change your emotions and shift the emotional quality of your relationships. When you can change the emotions in your relationships you open up entirely new possibilities to your life.
Having a clear understanding of your thoughts, emotion, and behavior patterns helps you understand other people. This ability to empathize facilitates better personal and professional relationships.
