Self-Esteem Building with a Self-Awareness Consultant

June 2, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

A self-awareness consultant can help you build your self-esteem by helping you connect with who you really are and discover your strengths and talents. We are all born with an amazing range of skills and interests. I always recommend that people connect with what they really want to do.

If you love art, pursue art.
If you love business, start a business.
If you love sports, play sports.

For any dream you have there is a practical way you can get started. If you love writing you can do any number of things today to start following your dream. The only thing stopping you is you.

A self-awareness consultant can help you get unstuck and tap into the wonderful talents you possess. I work with people just like you so that you can figure out what you want out of life and develop a plan to achieve it.

A self-awareness consultant is a person who believes in you, listens to you and supports your dreams and ambitions. I love helping people live the lives they want and experience possibilities. I can’t think of anything more rewarding that watching someone experience the joy that comes from living the life they want to live.

Cheers,

Guy

You Decide What Self-Awareness Is

June 1, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

Self-awareness is whatever you decide you want it to be based on what’s important to you and how you want to grow. It’s often the process of identifying areas in your life that you want to improve and taking action to make things happen. Self-awareness is most challenging when you’re uncomfortable in some way and genuinely motivated to change your thoughts or behaviors. You have to be ready to address the issue and willing to work on it until you generate positive results.

It’s advisable to approach self-awareness as an ongoing process rather than a quick fix. Deeper change requires long-term commitment and effort but it doesn’t have to be complicated. All you have to do is be willing to take a look at yourself, warts and all. The process of getting to know who you really are is what eventually leads to happiness and fulfillment. A great way to get the process started is to picture what your ideal life would be and pursue one small thing each day to achieve your dreams. If you have emotions, thoughts, or behaviors that get in the way, be willing to examine them and work on shifting them in a positive direction. Self-awareness isn’t something that occurs overnight, it’s a journey of self-discovery where you make all the decisions about where you want to go.

Self-Awareness and Dating Good People

May 31, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

When I consult for clients I often get questions about finding great men or women to date. People who lack self-awareness often find themselves dating the same general type of person over and over and getting the same results. The good news is that you don’t have to settle, you have an amazing ability to move your dating life in any direction you choose by following some basic steps. Here are a few examples:

1. Build up your self-awareness and find out who you are before you date. This will give you a better idea and more self-esteem to pick more healthy people to date.

2. Understand that people who date you should be supportive, kind, helpful, attentive and should always make you feel that who you are as a person is important.

3. Excitement doesn’t always equal a good person to date. Danger and mystery can be enticing but often turn into very large problems that hurt you.

4. Nobody you date, under any circumstance, should take away your self-esteem or put down your self-awareness.

5. You should never give up your identity to please or accommodate someone you’re dating.

6. You benefit from learning to live alone first and then incorporating someone else into your life. The healthier you are, the better choices you’ll make in the dating arena.

Try considering these points as you date people. Dating should be fun and it ideally lifts you up and makes you feel great. Take some time to think about who you are as a person and work hard on making yourself the best person possible. Remember that vibrant, healthy people see creeps coming down the road and steer clear.

What will you do to develop self-awareness and date good people?

Self-Awareness and What Kind of Person You Are

May 29, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

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 and Fixing Your Relationship Problems

May 29, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

A lot of people who lack self-awareness try to fix their relationship problems on their own rather seeking help. They may ask for advice from friends or family but with limited success because people can only offer help based on what they know and, even if they mean well, they usually don’t really know how to fix a relationship problem. Most people end up not asking for help at all because they think their only options are to take care of things themselves or get bad advice from others.

The good news is that there are resources available to you to fix relationship problems. The stigma associated with looking for outside help is going away and people are more open to getting help from an impartial, outside person. The benefit of getting outside help is that the person does not have any interest in the outcome other than helping you find solutions that work for you. Therapy is an excellent way to work out issues but there are also alternatives such as coaching when you don’t require mental health related services. I always recommend that if people have a mental health issue they benefit from seeing mental health professionals. For issues related to our functioning in relationships a coach can often be helpful.

When I consult for people we don’t go into mental health issues or dwell in the past. It is not because these things aren’t important but rather because self-awareness consulting deals with the here and now and what you can do to improve it in the future. I literally help you change the way you do things now and do them in a way that works for you. You make all the decisions with guidance and support.

I work with people to help them figure out a new way of doing things. Self-awareness consulting is helpful for people who just need a supportive outside person who can motivate them to move in the direction they choose. It’s like having a friend listen to you who is actually qualified to help you resolve your problems.

If you have been looking for a way to deal with relationship issues or problems perhaps coaching is a good option for you. A self-awareness consultant helps you get what you want out of your relationships by clearing away that obstacles and helping you design your new path to happiness.

What will you do to develop self-awareness and fix your relationship problems?

Self-Aware People Decide How to Live Their Lives

May 29, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

If you possess self-awareness, you decide how to live your life, not anyone else. I wish I had known this a long time ago.

For too many years, I followed everyone else’s lead instead of my own. I would let other people tell me what I should do with my life, what kind of relationships I should have, and how I should think and behave. It made me feel horrible about myself, to the point where I was self-destructing.

People are amazingly adept at telling you, in both overt and more subtle ways, that you shouldn’t be yourself. They make suggestions and demands that keep you from being the authentic you. The key to living a great life is to increase your self-awareness so you can do your own thing and make your own choices. Move forward courageously, and positively, based on what your inner voice is telling you. Do what you love doing.

I’m so glad I figured out that I could follow my own path. What will you do to develop self-awareness and live your own life?

Cheers,

Guy

Self-Awareness Helps People Be Less Broken

May 28, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

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?

Cheers,

Guy
