What is self-awareness?

7 months ago I quit my job and started my journey to travel around as a so-called Digital Nomad while freelancing.

2 months ago I decided to start the 12 startups in 12 months challenge, while traveling. I launched 2 startups so far.

Some people ask me how I do this, and how i constantly make the "right" choices and grow towards this journey.

The short answer is: self-awareness. I don't have to stand still and think long to make new decision. Because I am self aware, I know where I want to go. From that moment on, decisions become easy!

I have developed a consciousness around my character, feelings, motives, and desires. And I am aware of being conscious about this. This makes me self-aware.

I have optimised my life along the way.
Multiple reflections and a profile about my actions make me feel confident about the path I chose and about the journey on it.

A screenshot from my activity profile:

I am not making money yet with my startups, but I see potential. I get energised every single day. I hope to inspire/motivate others with this post that are not seeing any results just yet.

I wrote an article about what self-awareness is. It covers the 4 building blocks of consciousness and the process of reflecting to become self-aware. Maybe this is useful to fellow IndieHackers as well:
