On Self Awareness
Self Awareness
What do you know about yourself?
Have you had to sit down to think critically about why you do what you do? Why you think the way you think? Why you buy the things you buy?
Well if you haven’t, it is high time you started.
Self awareness is about noticing stuff about you and the reason behind those stuff.
We are often used to ignoring ourselves and trying to live life as it comes.
We want people to understand us yet we do not want to understand ourselves.
Earlier, I saw a video explaining how to live with an overthinker.
Why would I want to live with an overthinker?
Shouldn’t the overthink find a way to stop being an overthinker?
An overthinker is someone who hasn’t taken time to reflect on themselves. They have not paid so much attention to themselves to deal with that problem.
You see, a lot of us are roaming around with the idea that we know ourselves but we truly do not.
Self awareness is being honest with ourselves enough to assess ourselves to better understand why we feel what we feel and why we act the way we do.
A lot of us a stuck becuase we do not practice self awareness. If we do, we would have a better understanding of who we are and we are then able to build on our strentghs and work on our flaws.
We have a funny way of telling ourselves stories of who we want to be rather than who we actually are. We often project our ideal self instead of our actual self.
The moment we begin to explore, we will begin to live a free and unique life
