Today I'm Grateful for Self Awareness.
Far too many people stride through their days, neither knowing or caring why they do the things they do. They tend towards the mindset that if they keep moving, they will eventually end up where they want to go. I was wondering if they had ever really considered their actions. After all, if you keep running in circles, all you are getting, is exercise!
Did that make sense? If not, let me explain a little... If we keep doing the same things, we will keep getting the same results. A lot of this is caused by people just not having any self-awareness. They simply do not stop, take a breath and question their own motives for their own actions. For instance, do they ask themselves why they get angry when someone else doesn't take their advice? Of course they don't. They simply think the other person is being unreasonable and ungrateful and then resentment sets in.
Asking ourselves why is a very good start to self-awareness. Remember to not only ask the original why, but keep on asking why until you get to the root of the problem. It is only by asking ourselves the hard questions that we can get to understand ourselves better and allow ourselves to move forward in our lives and our journey to connecting with our higher selves. And yes, it is important to keep moving forward, because it is only then that we can connect with other human beings in meaningful ways.
I have a fairly high level of self-awareness, although of late, it seems as though I have not asked why nearly enough. This is probably one of the reasons I am feeling flat and 'not me' as I said yesterday. So for the next few days, I will put aside some time for myself to do some of my self-awareness exercises... no, I promise I won't bore you with the details...lol. but I may give you some of the more relevant highlights. For now, I'm going to do some more work for the baby shower on Sunday, then go to bed. Love ya all.
Kisses
Julie
