Today I reflect on why we use the term "rude awakening" and how it relates to self-development and mental health. As someone who teaches and practices self-development and spiritual betterment, I can attest that my own awakenings have felt rude. Awakenings are not just one singular moment of realization but rather a series of uncomfortable layers that we expand upon. We resist change, and our ego fights against the new knowledge that comes with an awakening. I share my personal experiences with rude awakenings, the hard work that is therapy, and how to embrace the discomfort of what's coming. We must be open to change, accept that we can only change ourselves, and be kind to ourselves during the process. Ultimately, when we know better, we can do better.
