Self-Awareness and Healing Your Hurts

November 2, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

Self-awareness helps you begin healing your hurts by encouraging you to take a conscious look at the things that bring you discomfort in life and that need some attention. Many people walk through life carrying some unresolved pain that keeps them from being a genuinely happy, expansive person. It’s impossible to live fully or authentically if you allow certain memories to hold you back. The good news is that you can use self-awareness to examine who you are and deal with the challenges from your past.

Healing your hurts isn’t easy because you have to revisit parts of your life that may be unpleasant. The key to successfully moving past the pain is to acknowledge it’s there and do everything in your power to resolve it and move past it. Once you understand and deal with the thoughts and emotions related to difficult issues, you provide yourself a new opportunity to live based on the wonderful things about you rather than being held back by the pain. What will you do to use self-awareness to start healing your hurts?

Cheers,

Self-Awareness and Inner Peace

October 28, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

When you possess a high level of self-awareness you also experience inner peace because, when you know yourself well, you let go of a lot of the noise that gets in the way of feeling great about yourself and living the life you want to. Here are some ways self-awareness leads to inner peace:

You actively work on healing your hurts so you can feel better about yourself.
You look deep inside and discover who you really are and then live your life accordingly.
You become familiar with the things you do well and the things you need to improve so you can be a more effective person.
You let go of superficial concerns and focus on the things that really matter.
You attract healthier relationships because you’re healthier.
Each day become an opportunity to learn and grow.
You feel a sense of calm inside because you are more in tune with who you are.
You do kind things for yourself and others.
You make the world a better place for yourself and others.
Your life is more fulfilling and joyful.

A lot of people never achieve inner peace because they forget to look within. Self-awareness allow you to intimately understand who you are and live life as the real you. When you wake up each day able to enjoy being yourself, your whole existence changes.

Self-Awareness and Envisioning Your Future

October 18, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

A lot of people stumble along their self-awareness journey because they forget to visualize what they want to achieve. The key to successful personal development is to be able to envision yourself as being the person you want to be. Take some time to picture what your goal is; what it feels like; what you see; what’s happening around you. Let go of negative thoughts that tell you can’t do it or other noise that only gets in the way. Picture success and you’ll head in that direction.

You might find it helpful to consider the following ideas to help you build your self-awareness and vision:

Look deep inside yourself and identify what you really want to do in life.
Pick one thing to start working on.
Do one small thing each day to work toward your goal.
Keep doing small things until you feel like you’ve reached your goal.
When you reach your goal, evaluate what you did well and what you would improve.
Start the process over again.

Picturing your future doesn’t require some magic insight, all you have to do is take action each day to move in the direction of your dreams. Remember that it’s the act of continuously doing small things that will get you where you want to be. Along the way you’ll learn and grow and become more self-aware.

What will you do to develop self-awareness and envision your future?

Self-Awareness and Finding Your Own Level

October 13, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

An important part of building self-awareness is understanding the reasons why you surround yourself with certain people and how they affect the trajectory of your life. Ever notice that people tend to hang out with others who mirror or reinforce their behaviors? That’s great if they’re doing wonderfully positive things but quite another if they’re not.

Water seeks its own level because it doesn’t want to be out of balance. People are the same way because they can only achieve at the level they are ready for and seek out others who are at a similar stage. Difficulties and complications arise when individuals are deeply wounded or hurt inside and connect with others who join them because they are feeling the same way. It’s how groups of people band together and do all kinds of awful things.

Thankfully, you don’t have to live your life stuck in one place, you can keep increasing your self-awareness, improving yourself, building your self-esteem, and working on being a wonderful person. As you live more fully and authentically, you will attract people into your life who value how genuinely healthy you are and want to accompany you on your journey.

What will you do to develop self-awareness and find your own level?

Self-Awareness and the Key to Achievement

October 8, 2023 - The Self-Awareness Guy

When I help people figure out what they want out of life a common theme arises time after time: that every movement in our lives starts with us. This seems like a basic concept but it can have profound implications. We can choose to build self-awareness and move in a different direction at any time, but we have to start. Here are some steps you may try to get going:

1. Think of something you want to achieve in your life.
2. Think of one thing you can do today to achieve your goal.
3. Take action and do it.
4. Praise yourself for actions you complete.
5. Ask yourself, “What did I learn about myself?”
6. Repeat.

People just like you create amazing change in their lives by being self-aware and taking action. It’s incredible how much control we have over our lives if we consciously do things to change it. All it takes is deciding that we are going to do something and then following through.

What will you do to develop self-awareness and achieve what you want in life?
