Although many believe they have high self-awareness, studies estimate only one in ten to fifteen individuals really possess those skills with accuracy. This involves a personal knowledge of one's own character, thoughts, emotions, feelings, desires, and motives, along with a knowledge of how one is viewed by others. In Discovery is Recovery: 1, author Brenda Balding offers a guide discussing the benefits of self-awareness and helps you on a journey of self-reflection and discovery. She encourages brain-emotion-spirit connection to discover yourself and how you wish to be present in the world. Filled with helpful tools, this journal lets you document your thoughts and feelings, creating your own story or book at the same time. It allows you to examine your perception of who you are as a unique human being.
