Self awareness refers to the conscious knowledge and understanding of oneself, including one's thoughts, emotions, strengths, weaknesses, values, and beliefs. It involves being attuned to one's inner experiences, motivations, and behaviors, as well as having an accurate perception of how others perceive us.

Self-awareness plays a significant role in one's physical health by facilitating the recognition of physical sensations, identifying stressors, fostering a strong mind-body connection, guiding healthy lifestyle choices, and promoting proactive healthcare decisions.
