Unlocking TRUE Self-Awareness
Unlocking TRUE Self-Awareness True self-awareness takes courage. We have to be ready to look within and find things we don’t like and perhaps feel unable to change. This is why the practice of a form of COMPASSIONATE self-awareness is so important. The practice of looking within, reflecting on actions and words with a strong dose of compassion.
When we receive external feedback, it may come with a strong dose of compassion and kindness, and sometimes it doesn’t. You may have been told you are too harsh, too bossy, or too controlling. When it comes from one person, listen and assess. When it comes from two people, listen harder. When it comes from three people, pause and REALLY listen. Is what they are saying true? If so, can I do anything about it?
Self-awareness helps us to align with our values. If we are not self-aware, how can we know we are being the person we would like to be?
