Awareness is Key

How much awareness do you have about yourself? Are you cognizant of your moods, your opinions towards others, how your body feels, in what ways you react to your loved ones?

 

Earlier today, I was aware of how tired I was, even though I got a good night’s sleep. I was able to honor my body and take a nap early afternoon, and now I’m more clear-headed and better able to work.

 

Today’s experience of being aware of my body’s tiredness reminded me of the importance of being aware in all aspects of my life. My clients and audiences have heard me say many times how awareness is key in life, because without it, how can we move forward with more mindfulness and efficiency? How can we know what to do to get there from here?

 

Digging into more self-awareness allows for you to experience more personal growth. For example, maybe you reacted to someone in a way you wished you hadn’t. Being cognizant of how you reacted, and then taking responsibility for it, allows for you to examine how you may do things differently in the future. Or, perhaps you’re aware you’re emotionally eating. When having this awareness, you’re better able to assess what’s causing you to eat this way, and take positive steps to make change.

Here’s two tips to help you become more self-aware:

  1. Pause during the day a couple of times and just become aware of how you feel emotionally, how your shoulders feel (are they sore because of stress? Are they up towards your ears or down in a more relaxed position?) and what your stress level is. If you find yourself stressed, take a few deep breaths, being mindful in this breathing; it will help you calm down.
  2. Make it a habit during each day to observe yourself; being a witness to yourself. Be aware of how you perceive your life, your job, your thoughts about the world, your co-workers, your friends. If you discover you would like things to be different, think with love and compassion, how you may go about making positive change.
