Some thoughts on self awareness, hopefully I have improved since trying to see ego has consciousness years ago can’t remember when, got into trouble with Moll’.

1 Self awareness. Conscious use of multiple sensory perceptions and active interaction with the environment.

2 Emotional awareness. Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of emotions to be able to regulate them.

3. Everyone has their own set of emotions tied to their life experience which are dynamic, overlap, can rise, peak, fall, over different durations. The range of emotions is debatable from 80 to over 350+.

4. The ability to see yourself from a distance. Observing yourself from a distance, like watching yourself in a game or a movie, and the ability to recall that.

There is also being stuck in fight, flight, freeze, fawn and fragment. This means you are biologically unable to access your prefrontal cortex.

If you can access your prefrontal cortex you can think, reason and have self awareness.

Then there’s attachment styles of secure attachment, insecure attachment, avoidant attachment, disorganised attachment etc. If you are unable to have awareness of how you are attached to other humans, then you will have little insight into yourself and your abilities and awareness.
