S5 Ep22: Self-Awareness for Everyone

Self-awareness to better live life in a mad, mad, mad world Your best ally and most reliable resource is you. Practicing self-awareness puts you in touch with that truth. Self-motivation What IS self-motivation? It is finding your own inner resources to motivate yourself to do things. Self-motivation is not selfish. Putting yourself first is NOT selfish. Selfishness only occurs when an action you perform wantonly denies somebody abundance and prosperity. Self-motivation is making a way to do something. Consciousness creates reality. EVERYTHING in the universe falls into this. Self-talk What is self-talk? When you get inside your own head and look at your thoughts and feelings, often you create an internal dialogue. Sometimes, this dialogue takes no form in true words, but more in feelings and impressions. Sometimes this takes you down a dark path. It can also get abusive. Despite the fact you’d never take this sort of abuse from someone else, when you do it to yourself you might think that’s just fine. You believe that you deserve it for doing wrong, messing up, and being imperfect in various ways. You have the ability to use mindfulness to become aware of what you’re thinking and what and how you’re feeling. When you do this, you open yourself up to recognizing just what you’re thinking and saying about yourself and can change it as need be. Mindfulness and self-awareness Self-awareness is for everyone. This is achieved via active conscious awareness. That is mindfulness. Mindfulness is knowing your inner being, and really getting to know who, what, where, how, and why you are. You’re utterly worthy and deserving of this. That’s why self-awareness is for EVERYONE. The more you see and practice this the more you can help others to do the same. That, in turn, can change the fear base of society to a more reason-based one. You are thus empowered to live that way and use self-awareness to be all that you desire to be in this one-shot you get at life. One Last Applied Guidance for Mindfulness Tool Practice mindfulness and active conscious awareness. To be self-aware and practice mindfulness, pause from time to time and ask these questions: ·        What am I thinking? ·        What am I feeling? ·        How am I feeling? ·        What are my intentions? ·        Is my approach to things angled towards the positive or negative end of the spectrum? ·        What are my actions? These can all only be answered at this present moment, in the here and now. That happens to be the only time that’s really, truly, real. Use your self-awareness to change anything about your life that you’re not okay with or desire to alter. You are thus empowered. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
