The Self Awareness Episode
Ever caught your reflection in the mirror and wondered, 'Who's that girl, and why is she making questionable life choices?' Well, you're not alone.
This week we're digging into the grand abyss of self-awareness, inspired by the wise words of Shelly Deval and Robert Wicklund from their 1972 "A theory of objective self awareness" (ah, the '70s, when people were busy asking the real questions....among doing other things).
They tell us we can focus on ourselves or the big, bad world. Then comes the fun part – measuring ourselves up against our own golden standards. Then what? Well, we either bask in our glorious alignment or, more often, scramble to figure out where it all went wrong.
This episode is like a time machine - we're journeying back to my terrible twenties, a time when I majored in Avoidance 101 rather than dealing with those pesky discrepancies. I've had my fair share of foot-in-mouth moments and blind spots that even a lighthouse couldn't illuminate.
But hey, we live, we cringe, we grow. We're also diving into how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) turned my world upside down, and not in an Exorcist kind of way.
So, buckle up, folks! We're diving into the bumpy ride of self-awareness, the art of 'reading the room,' and the awkward dance of setting boundaries. And don't forget that powerful truth bomb dropped by Viktor Frankl, "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom."
Spoiler alert: we're all works in progress. But in the end, self-awareness is a pretty rad tool to have in our survival kit.
