“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.” — Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
“There are 2 mistakes along the way to Self-Mastery: Not starting it, and not going all the way.” — Shi Heng Yi (释恒義)
= 自我覺察 (Self-awareness) ≈ Self-examination ≈ Meta-cognition
認識自己 → 接受自己 → 喜歡自己
自我覺察是一種能開啟與自己真誠的對話、和自己自在相處的能力。它必須建立對於「感覺」的敏感度上，這種敏銳的感知力，能讓人察覺自己的情緒、發覺自己的真實感受，並有能力對這種感覺做出回應。與自己對話很重要，當一個人不夠了解自己的時候，是很難喜歡自己的。反之，當一個人越了解自己，就越能接受最真實的自己，進而喜歡自己、改變自己。
自我反省乍看之下很簡單，但其實極其困難而且急不得，因為人很擅長欺騙自己，又或是在當下會因為各種因素難以接受自己的真實想法。
Introspection is the one of the best ways to expand our self-awareness—the more time we invest into reflecting on our thoughts and emotions, the more self-awareness we will have.

- 本我 (Id): 人的本能
- 自我 (Ego): 兩者衝突時的調節者
- 超我 (Superego): 人的理想化目標
[@jamesPrinciplesPsychologyTwo1995] distinguished two understandings of the self, the self as “Me” and the self as “I”, in the context of consciousness.
- “Me” corresponds to the self as an object of experience (self as object)
- “I” reflects the self as a subject of experience (self as subject)
