261 | Using Metacognition to Connect With Higher Consciousness & Self-Awareness


Listen Later

Ever feel like there's a deeper awareness waiting just beneath your daily thoughts, guiding you toward something more aligned with your true self? In this episode, Kevin Carton dives into the powerful practice of metacognition—essentially learning to observe and understand your own thought processes, emotions, and behaviors. He shares how tapping into this awareness can transform everything from personal growth to spirituality, bridging the gap between what we know scientifically about the mind and the deeper, soulful layers of consciousness. Kevin explores what it really means to “notice what you’re noticing” and how that simple practice can lead to breakthrough moments of self-discovery.

Kevin also shares his personal journey from pharmacy to life coaching and how metacognition became a cornerstone in his path to living his soul’s purpose. If you’ve ever felt stuck in limiting patterns or wondered how to shift into a mindset more aligned with your higher self, this episode is for you. How would your life change if you could truly observe your thoughts and emotions from a higher perspective? Could this be the missing piece to living a more fulfilled, purpose-driven life? Tune in to find out, and don't miss Kevin’s free guided meditation to help you start practicing metacognition in your daily life.
