Cultivating self-awareness is really the starting point to this journey of getting to know yourself. Without self-awareness we’re at the mercy of our lives and unconscious behaviours, which include our triggers, traumas, wounding, limiting self-beliefs etc. Without self-awareness we’ll continue to replicate the same patterns of behaviour, the same dynamics of relationship, not much will really change because we’re not in the driver’s seat of our lives. Life is happening to us instead of through us, as they say.

Think of it like this: You have been moving through life with a flashlight. You can only see as much as that flashlight illuminates within the narrow tunnel of light that it encompasses. Self-awareness is turning on the light. All of a sudden you see so much more of what is around you that was once in the dark. At first, yes, you will see all the clutter but at least now you have the choice to “clean it up” and make the space what you want it to be rather than remaining in the dark where you keep on bumping up and stubbing your toe on god knows what, but it bloody well hurts every time that you do!

Cultivating self-awareness is the first step to ultimately feeling free within yourself. You become the witness, the observer, of your experience and within that space between yourself and life, you get to choose how you respond (vs react) to life as it arises. Hopefully all of this is held in the container not just of awareness, but of love.

Tune in for more…
