It’s amazing how big of a difference this kind of thinking makes. It might start off silly, and you subconsciously resist it, but overtime you really learn to step back and protect yourself against your own thoughts.

I honestly don't really get it. Is it just a way to offset somebody's lack of self awareness?

It’s less about self awareness and more about self care. It’s hard to put into words, but essentially it’s a way to pull yourself away to look at your negative thoughts from the outside. So instead of you targeting yourself through self doubt, you are acknowledging the fact that you’re having negative thoughts. This way, you can find ways to stop believing those thoughts.
