Know Thyself

Stephen M. Fleming

Individuals with high metacognitive abilities are adept at adapting their thinking, making well-informed choices, and achieving success in acquiring new competencies. The more cognizant you are about your own metacognitive process, the more you enhance your metacognitive skills. Additionally, consider being mindful about mastering new competencies. Studies indicate that individuals with exceptional metacognitive skills often excel in the initial phases of picking up a new skill, such as perfecting a sport like tennis. However, once the skill becomes second nature, excessive self-awareness can be counterproductive. When a skill starts to feel natural and effortless, try to silence your inner metacognitive voice and go with the flow.
