“Personal awareness precedes personal transformation”
If you’re tired of people, look no further than yourself.
That’s right – take a look at you.
There’s only one person you can change, and that’s you!
Self-awareness is having the ability to step back and see yourself from a distance, to analyze your internal dialogue, and to examine your agendas and expectations.
The most important part (and the hardest part) is to observe all these things from a nonjudgmental perspective. When it comes to personal perspectives we are all guilty of cognitive biases and blind spots that work against our quest for self-knowledge.
Follow these steps:
- Awareness of the internal dialogue
- Clarify and evaluate the thoughts (don't judge)
- Acceptance (change what you can change - let go of what you cannot)
“Know thy self; the unexamined life is not worth living” - Socrates
