Do you have a deep desire to make a huge, lasting, positive impact on the world?
Become more self-aware.
The better you understand yourself and your motivations, the better you understand others and their motivations. When your interactions come from a place of awareness and compassion, you positively impact the world just by living in it.
Self-awareness is the conscious understanding of your personality, emotions, actions, likes, dislikes and more. It’s being aware of how you work from inside out rather than outside in.
Here are 6 ways to become more self-aware:
1. Pay attention to your thoughts and actions as well as how others react to what you say and do.
2. Ask yourself questions about those thoughts and actions, like: Why do I feel this way? Do I really believe that, or did I pick it up along the way and accept it as my own belief? Is this fear and insecurity talking or is this really not a good idea?
3. Revisit past situations that left you confused, scared, happy, or hurt and try to understand what happened. How did you contribute to the event? How did you react? What could you have done differently?
4. Drop the judgements. Don’t judge yourself or others. It’s a total waste of energy.
5. Take time to recognize what awareness has taught you.
6. Apply this practice every day.
The better you understand yourself, the better you can control your emotions and reactions, leading to deeper connections with others.This growth also enhances verbal and non-verbal communication because you see things through a clear lens rather than a cloudy one.
What happens next? You change the world through acceptance and compassion.
Now that is some next level shit…
