Self-Awareness and Being Happy - On Developing Self-Awareness and Being Self-Aware

Self-Awareness and Being Happy

/ / Self-Awareness, Self-Consciousness / , , , ,

One of the most important reasons to increase your self-awareness is so you can be happy. There are a lot of people walking around who insist they’re happy but who really are hiding a lot of turmoil just under the surface. Being happy means that the various parts of your life are in balance rather than conflict or tension. It’s nearly impossible to feel genuine happiness if you have areas of your life that always remind you that all is not well.

A big part of self-awareness is working on your warts by taking an honest look at yourself. Heal the parts of you that create tension in your life and you’ll be able to feel joy like never before. It may be difficult or painful at first, but the long-term rewards are immense. What will you do to use self-awareness to be more happy?

Self-Awareness Helps You Figure out Who You Are - On Developing Self-Awareness and Being Self-Aware

Self-Awareness Helps You Figure out Who You Are

/ / Self and Self-Awareness, Self-Awareness, Self-Consciousness / , , ,

A big part of self-awareness is discovering who you are and what you want to do with your life. Take some time to think about what’s important to you and where you see yourself going. Make sure to be truthful with yourself. Don’t settle for whatever life throws you, choose to move your life in the direction of your dreams.

Why do any of this? Because you’re worth it. Countless people all over the world spend their entire lives living as someone else or doing what others expect them to do. You can be one of the very few who actually breaks the mold and moves forward authentically.

It takes courage to consciously decide to live life as the real you. There is always the chance that you’ll encounter setbacks. Don’t be discouraged. You’re an amazing person who deserves to do meaningful things and follow your own path. All you have to do is determine who you really are and do small things each day to simply be yourself.

What will you do to develop self-awareness and figure out who you are?

Self-Awareness and Making Your Life Count - On Developing Self-Awareness and Being Self-Aware

Self-Awareness and Making Your Life Count

/ / Self and Self-Awareness, Self-Awareness, Self-Consciousness / , ,

Abraham Lincoln once said, “And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” Self-awareness helps you make your life count because, when you understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, you’re able to consciously pursue your dreams.

Life is what we make of it and I always strive to help people recognize what it is they want to do with their lives. In relationships we often settle for situations that repeat patterns established by our parents or approaches we learned from our friends.

I suggest to people. “Why not try something different if what you are doing is not working?” The reason I ask that question is that we often invest huge amounts of time and energy in situations that don’t make us feel great rather than doing some work to move in a different direction.

I’ve had many people tell me the meaning of life is finding one’s own balance point and living a life of fulfillment and peace. Successful people understand this concept because they are always striving to do the work necessary to work toward peace and balance.

What will you do to develop self-awareness and make your life count?

A major part of self-awareness is understanding how other people see you. This means that you clearly comprehend how your thoughts and actions affect not only you but others as well. When you understand the impact you have on others you can make the appropriate changes so that you get better results. The key is to be yourself and allow others to do the same. Here are some signs that you possess the self-awareness necessary to understand how other people see you:

  • You’re not constantly in the middle of conflicts.
  • Other people seem to like you.
  • You build positive relationships.
  • You behave with kindness, empathy, and compassion.
  • You don’t do things to hurt others.
  • You don’t care about competition.
  • You don’t have a massive, unhealthy, out of control ego.
  • You do things that benefit others.
  • You behave selflessly, without expecting something in return.

Self-Awareness and Taking Action to Love Yourself - On Developing Self-Awareness and Being Self-Aware

Self-Awareness and Taking Action to Love Yourself

/ / Self and Self-Awareness, Self-Awareness, Self-Consciousness / , , , ,

As you’ve probably guessed from experience, loving yourself is about building self-awareness, doing things that lead to positive outcomes, and continuously improving yourself. An additional action you can take to learn how to love yourself is to find out who you are.

Set aside some time, without interruptions, to find out who you are. Ask yourself some self-discovery questions. What is my passion in life? What are the things I do well? What are the areas I can improve? What is my part in creating great relationships?

The process of loving ourselves comes from increasing self-awareness, understanding who we are, and working through the things that block our ability to love ourselves. For example: If you have difficulty committing in a relationship it may stem from something inside you that blocks you from accepting or giving love. If you identify what is blocking you it suddenly gives you a lot of power to change what you are doing.

Self-love is about practicing positive behaviors and experiencing the joy that comes from learning about yourself. What will you do to develop self-awareness and learn to love yourself?

Self-Awareness Helps You Do Instead of Wish - On Developing Self-Awareness and Being Self-Aware

Self-Awareness Helps You Do Instead of Wish

/ / Self-Awareness, Self-Consciousness / , , ,

I’ve noticed over the years that a lot of people who lack self-awareness think wishing is the same as doing; they expect that if they just hope something happens, it will. Many people also live in a state of denial, where they pretend things are a certain way when they’re really not. There’s nothing wrong with wishing for wonderful things to happen, it’s just that results only come from living in reality and taking concrete action.

Part of self-awareness is having the ability to see how your actions in the present affect your future. Success rarely happens happens in life without ongoing, tangible efforts to make your wishes come true. I love providing life guidance for people who value self-awareness because they are already working on identifying who they are, where they want to go, and how they’re going to achieve their goals. They fulfill their aspirations by actually doing stuff.

The key to living a happy life is to have dreams and also take steps to make them come true. What will you do to develop self-awareness and actually do things instead of wishing they would happen?
