Awareness
Life has a way of showing us things. It has a way of revealing what we need to see.
What is the purpose for the need to see what is being revealed?
It provides choice and opportunity. That could mean many things for each person.
It could mean growth. It could mean love. It could mean trust. It could mean forgiveness.
What is being revealed is seen because of the way we are being present with ourselves to see it.
In order for any change in life to occur requires awareness to make the change possible.
Awareness is a piece of presence that offers choices.
It is a form of self reflection. Being present with thoughts, emotions, behaviors.
Without awareness, the same patterns will continue. The same outcomes will continue to unfold. Those outcomes may not be the ones that are desired.
It helps to move away from “always reacting” or feeling like, “things are constantly out of control.”
Being able to shift perspective through awareness aids in the process of desired change.
The internal changes support the external changes to occur.
Our self awareness impacts the way we interact with thoughts, which influence emotions and dictate our behaviors.
How might this affect our daily interactions? How might this affect our daily decisions?
Only presence can bring awareness. Without it, things are distorted and perception becomes misaligned.
How can awareness become part of daily living?
Try to get in tune with listening to yourself and others. Remove the judgements and attachments to thoughts and emotions.
This can be achieved through disciplined activities such as yoga, meditation, journaling, taking time to reflect.
Awareness is the first powerful step in the process of transforming your life and making an impact in the lives of others.
