It is related to being aware of or carefully observing something. In a personal context, it can mean a deeper understanding of oneself, including thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Insight is a form of deep perception or understanding that occurs suddenly in the mind and leads to gaining new perspectives, discovering unexpected connections between ideas, quick clarity on a problem, thus changing the way a person looks at a situation or concept. Awareness and insight are cognitive processes, self-awareness (of one's own thoughts and emotions creates the conditions for a deeper understanding of oneself). Awareness is an ongoing process of being aware of what is happening, and insight is a sudden illumination, a deep understanding that comes from awareness.
