I know this is a little bit of a cliche… but it’s true, it’s so true! So many people, especially women, are so caught up in all the wrong things that they are oblivious to the right things! It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day routine, and forget that we are not at our most creative when we’re in the midst of our stress.
That’s a fairly common occurrence, but there is one very important thing that we don’t have to be caught up in that we can always be aware of.
Self-awareness. Its a way of viewing our own thoughts and actions. It is the ability to notice and control what our own thoughts and actions are doing to us. Self-awareness is like a radar gun, letting us know when we are about to have a headache, or when we have a cold, or when we are about to have a panic attack.
All the best bloggers I know are self-aware. We know when something is not right because we can see it. We can see when we are about to have a nervous breakdown because we know it is coming. We know when we are about to feel suicidal because we have self-awareness. And we have the ability to control it. We can stop it and stop it now.
Self-awareness is more powerful than we give it credit for. It’s the ability to see what is coming, and to act before it comes. It’s a skill that comes from practicing the life skills and practices we’ve learned from our parents, teachers, and parents before us. It’s the ability to stop the self-destructive impulse or whatever it is that leads us to act in a certain way. It’s not the same as having a sense of oneness with yourself.
When you have no self-awareness, you don’t have to do anything to get to the goal you set. You can just do that on the fly. If you don’t know what you’re doing, or if you don’t see it, you don’t know what happens.
You see, some people are so self-aware they dont even have a choice in what they do. Its one of those things that you can look at and say “yes, I’m living in the moment, and yes, I’m doing it right.” But the fact is that the moment you live in is not the same as the moment you want to live in.
So if you dont have self-awareness, you can just do what you want. In life. But if you do, the choice is yours.
It’s a good idea to read a few books, listen to some music, or go on a few long walks. But if youre not aware of your own choices and the decisions that drive them, then you can just keep going. Because if you do nothing, you will always die.
In my own life, I have felt like I was constantly driving myself to my death. I was only ever able to get myself through my teens and twenties alive by doing something wrong. I was never able to take my own life because I was so obsessed with having it all. So reading this article might seem like a good idea, but it also might be a bad idea.
