Self-Awareness and What Kind of Person You Are

-

If you consistently work on increasing your self-awareness, you become a certain kind of person, usually someone who possesses the following qualities:

  • You’re comfortable with yourself because you’ve worked on healing your inner hurts and resolving the challenging issues in your life.
  • You don’t have to boast about how great you are or be superior to others. Your confidence comes from knowing yourself so well that you just live life as yourself and celebrate others who are doing the same.
  • You tend to build positive relationships.
  • Your thoughts and beliefs are integrated with your behaviors. For example: You’re consistently kind to people in all areas of your life.
  • You’re comfortable with your entire range of feelings.
  • You function based on hope and compassion rather than fear and competition.
  • Your public life matches your private life.
  • You don’t worry about what others think but you also make sure you’re compassionate and work to promote as much good for as many people as possible.
  • Your life has meaning and purpose.
  • You genuinely like yourself deep inside.
  • You live life as the real you.

The great thing about being a human being is that you can choose how you think, feel and behave, which determines what kind of person you are. What will you do to keep building your self-awareness and moving in a positive direction?

Self-Awareness and Fixing Your Relationship Problems

-

A lot of people who lack self-awareness try to fix their relationship problems on their own rather seeking help. They may ask for advice from friends or family but with limited success because people can only offer help based on what they know and, even if they mean well, they usually don’t really know how to fix a relationship problem. Most people end up not asking for help at all because they think their only options are to take care of things themselves or get bad advice from others.

The good news is that there are resources available to you to fix relationship problems. The stigma associated with looking for outside help is going away and people are more open to getting help from an impartial, outside person. The benefit of getting outside help is that the person does not have any interest in the outcome other than helping you find solutions that work for you. Therapy is an excellent way to work out issues but there are also alternatives such as coaching when you don’t require mental health related services. I always recommend that if people have a mental health issue they benefit from seeing mental health professionals. For issues related to our functioning in relationships a coach can often be helpful.

When I consult for people we don’t go into mental health issues or dwell in the past. It is not because these things aren’t important but rather because self-awareness consulting deals with the here and now and what you can do to improve it in the future. I literally help you change the way you do things now and do them in a way that works for you. You make all the decisions with guidance and support.

I work with people to help them figure out a new way of doing things. Self-awareness consulting is helpful for people who just need a supportive outside person who can motivate them to move in the direction they choose. It’s like having a friend listen to you who is actually qualified to help you resolve your problems.

If you have been looking for a way to deal with relationship issues or problems perhaps coaching is a good option for you. A self-awareness consultant helps you get what you want out of your relationships by clearing away that obstacles and helping you design your new path to happiness. Feel free to contact me at the link below if you have any questions about how my consulting can help you transform your relationships.

What will you do to develop self-awareness and fix your relationship problems?

Self-Aware People Decide How to Live Their Lives

-

If you possess self-awareness, you decide how to live your life, not anyone else. I wish I had known this a long time ago.

For too many years, I followed everyone else’s lead instead of my own. I would let other people tell me what I should do with my life, what kind of relationships I should have, and how I should think and behave. It made me feel horrible about myself, to the point where I was self-destructing.

People are amazingly adept at telling you, in both overt and more subtle ways, that you shouldn’t be yourself. They make suggestions and demands that keep you from being the authentic you. The key to living a great life is to increase your self-awareness so you can do your own thing and make your own choices. Move forward courageously, and positively, based on what your inner voice is telling you. Do what you love doing.

I’m so glad I figured out that I could follow my own path. What will you do to develop self-awareness and live your own life?

Self-Awareness Helps People Be Less Broken

-

The world teems with people who are broken and don’t yet have the self-awareness to heal themselves and live healthy, balanced lives. To clarify: I don’t believe anyone is actually broken, I’m using the word to refer to people who don’t yet realize they could be significantly happier and more whole by:

  • Discovering who they really are; their talents, passions, dreams.
  • Healing their hurts and unresolved issues.
  • Loving themselves so they can live healthily and feel empathy toward others.
  • Letting go of the need to be right, win, or dominate others.
  • Living their lives as themselves, doing the things they really find meaningful.
  • Behaving with love, kindness and empathy toward themselves and others.
  • Finding strength inside themselves instead of from an outside source.
  • Being comfortable with all their emotions.
  • Doing away with negative thoughts and behaviors.
  • Waking up each day full of joy, peace and balance.

Imagine how powerful you would be if you did one of these things, or if you did most or all of them. As a person striving to increase your self-awareness, you get to decide what kind of life you live. If you already do the things on this list, you know how wonderful they make you feel and how they help make the world a better place for everyone. What will you do to move past being broken?

Lack of Self-Awareness and Missed Opportunities

-

A lot of people who don’t value self-awareness live lives of missed opportunities; unconsciously reacting to their environment and passing up the chance to do things that really matter to them.

You get to decide how your life unfolds. If you choose to live with courage you might do things like:

  • Tell people you love them.
  • Promote peace.
  • Build positive relationships.
  • Work on resolving your inner hurts.
  • Do nice things for others.
  • Follow your dreams.
  • Do things that create a better world.
  • Increase your self-awareness.

While these types of actions might seem daunting and complex at first glance, taking small steps each day can build amazing things over time. Each positive action you take has a way of reverberating in the universe; at very least, you’ll feel good about what you’re doing.

I truly enjoy connecting with self-aware people because they focus on the things that really mean something in life. What will you do to develop self-awareness and avoid missing opportunities?

7 Benefits of Self-Awareness

-

The more self-awareness you possess, the more positive your life can be. Here are seven benefits of self-awareness:

  • Greater ability to manage your thinking and behavior.
  • Getting to know yourself more fully.
  • Dealing with your personal issues at a deeper level.
  • Becoming healthier and happier inside.
  • Understanding who you really are as a person.
  • Living your life authentically.
  • Treating yourself and others well.

It takes deliberate time and effort to build self-awareness but, the more you get to know yourself, the more in-tune you’ll be with who you really are and what brings you happiness in life. What would you add to this list?

Self-Awareness and Fear

-

Many people live in fear rather than actively working on increasing their self-awareness so they can live more courageously and happily. When you know yourself deep inside you have the power to resolve the issues that scare you rather than repeating them unconsciously. Here are some of the signs of living in fear:

  • Afraid of new experiences.
  • Fear of people who are perceived as different.
  • Resistance to new ideas or change.
  • Strict adherence to routines.
  • Mistrust of anyone not in one’s inner circle.
  • Constant feeling of lack of safety.
  • Uncomfortable with uncertainty.
  • Lashing out toward people and things perceived as threats.
  • Reluctance to acknowledge or heal inner hurts.

People don’t do these things because they feel happy and balanced inside, they perpetuate them because they don’t know what else to do. Thankfully, there are ways to alleviate fear and they all start with the person’s willingness to change direction. Eliminating fear is a gradual process where the person in question deliberately decides to move in a positive direction and replace the old thoughts, feelings and actions with new ones that aren’t based on anxiety or alarm. What will you do to not live in fear?
