People who are self-aware understand that not everything goes as planned all the time. A crucial part of self-awareness is the ability to make adjustments. Take the time to consider what’s working and what needs to change in your life so you can get the results you want. Don’t be afraid to make changes to your routine that will help you move forward. Here are some examples of the kind of adjustments you might make:

  • Let go of what doesn’t work.
  • Heal the hurts from your past.
  • Invite people into your life who build you up.
  • Do things that help you learn more about yourself.
  • See a therapist or coach.
  • Do something different than what you do now.
  • Pursue your dreams.
  • Take the time to figure out who you are deep inside.
  • Live with courage.
  • Welcome change into your life.

Self-Awareness and What Kind of Person You Are

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

If you consistently work on increasing your self-awareness, you become a certain kind of person, usually someone who possesses the following qualities:

  • You’re comfortable with yourself because you’ve worked on healing your inner hurts and resolving the challenging issues in your life.
  • You don’t have to boast about how great you are or be superior to others. Your confidence comes from knowing yourself so well that you just live life as yourself and celebrate others who are doing the same.
  • You tend to build positive relationships.
  • Your thoughts and beliefs are integrated with your behaviors. For example: You’re consistently kind to people in all areas of your life.
  • You’re comfortable with your entire range of feelings.
  • You function based on hope and compassion rather than fear and competition.
  • Your public life matches your private life.
  • You don’t worry about what others think but you also make sure you’re compassionate and work to promote as much good for as many people as possible.
  • Your life has meaning and purpose.
  • You genuinely like yourself deep inside.
  • You live life as the real you.

The great thing about being a human being is that you can choose how you think, feel and behave, which determines what kind of person you are. What will you do to keep building your self-awareness and moving in a positive direction?

Self-Awareness Helps People Be Less Broken - On Developing Self-Awareness and Being Self-Aware

Self-Awareness Helps People Be Less Broken

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

The world teems with people who are broken and don’t yet have the self-awareness to heal themselves and live healthy, balanced lives. To clarify: I don’t believe anyone is actually broken, I’m using the word to refer to people who don’t yet realize they could be significantly happier and more whole by:

  • Discovering who they really are; their talents, passions, dreams.
  • Healing their hurts and unresolved issues.
  • Loving themselves so they can live healthily and feel empathy toward others.
  • Letting go of the need to be right, win, or dominate others.
  • Living their lives as themselves, doing the things they really find meaningful.
  • Behaving with love, kindness and empathy toward themselves and others.
  • Finding strength inside themselves instead of from an outside source.
  • Being comfortable with all their emotions.
  • Doing away with negative thoughts and behaviors.
  • Waking up each day full of joy, peace and balance.

Imagine how powerful you would be if you did one of these things, or if you did most or all of them. As a person striving to increase your self-awareness, you get to decide what kind of life you live. If you already do the things on this list, you know how wonderful they make you feel and how they help make the world a better place for everyone. What will you do to move past being broken?

Lack of Self-Awareness and Missed Opportunities - On Developing Self-Awareness and Being Self-Aware

Lack of Self-Awareness and Missed Opportunities

/ / Self-Awareness / , , , ,

A lot of people who don’t value self-awareness live lives of missed opportunities; unconsciously reacting to their environment and passing up the chance to do things that really matter to them.

You get to decide how your life unfolds. If you choose to live with courage you might do things like:

  • Tell people you love them.
  • Promote peace.
  • Build positive relationships.
  • Work on resolving your inner hurts.
  • Do nice things for others.
  • Follow your dreams.
  • Do things that create a better world.
  • Increase your self-awareness.

While these types of actions might seem daunting and complex at first glance, taking small steps each day can build amazing things over time. Each positive action you take has a way of reverberating in the universe; at very least, you’ll feel good about what you’re doing.

I truly enjoy connecting with self-aware people because they focus on the things that really mean something in life. What will you do to develop self-awareness and avoid missing opportunities?

Self-Awareness Is about You - On Developing Self-Awareness and Being Self-Aware

Self-Awareness Is about You

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

It’s hard to experience self-awareness if you decide you don’t want to work on it. You have a lot of power to decide what you’re willing to do. You can move forward confidently or you can put up obstacles. The only person who chooses whether you grow and succeed is you.

Take some time to think of the areas in your life you’d like to improve and what would make you feel happy and balanced. Then it’s up to you to determine where you want to start and what you’re willing to do. The key in self-awareness is to live authentically and take action on the things that will help you live a genuine life.

Self-Awareness and Taking Action Go Hand in Hand - On Developing Self-Awareness and Being Self-Aware

Self-Awareness and Taking Action Go Hand in Hand

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

Self-awareness and taking action go hand in hand because, when you understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, you are in a great position to do things to move your life forward consciously and positively.

The only difference between those who succeed and those who stay stuck is taking action. I’m always amazed at the incredible things people can do when they decide to act to make their dreams a reality. Here’s what some smart people say about the subject:

Annie Dillard:

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

Aristotle:

Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.

Alfred Adler:

Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.

Anatole France:

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Ann Radcliffe:

One act of beneficence, one act of real usefulness, is worth all the abstract sentiment in the world.

Go out today and take action to make your dreams a reality, you’ll be glad you did. Remember that you don’t have to do everything at once, just do one small thing each day and, over time, you’ll see the results in your life. What will you do to develop self-awareness and take action?

Guy
