AWARENESS 👁 becoming aware of our True Self – (The "Art" of Self-Discovery: 2 of 8)

We come to self-discovery for many reasons.

We may have always felt a longing to know our "true" selves and now want to dig deeper into who we are. We see patterns of behavior and wonder if our behavior is serving our needs. Our relationships are often strained and we wonder if we could be playing a part in that. Our desire to know and understand ourselves can feel like an immediate need or our ultimate, lifelong adventure, or both.


Remember this:
• We are on a quest of SELF-DISCOVERY.
• We are not broken.
• We do not need to "be fixed".
• We have learning and growing to do (no matter what our age).
• Part of that learning and growing is releasing what no longer serves us.

The first step to self-discovery is self-awareness.

The practice of observing ourselves without analysis or judgment and documenting our findings will lead us to ask questions that bring clearer understanding.

We can use our feeling place as a guide to becoming aware.
How you "feel" will undoubtedly be painted with conditioning but it is our habitual conditioning that we are uncovering. Own those feelings without judgment. Document them without analyzing them.





Can we become AWARE of ourselves and just notice, through observation, the beauty in all of our states of being? I believe we can.
Your ability to acknowledge your feeling place, no matter what it is, is the key to authentic, lasting growth. If you can put to rest the "shoulds" or "if only" or "can'ts" by identifying them but not allowing them to take hold, you can answer with your own authentic truth.


Spend the day observing your feeling places and documenting those feelings.

If you are at work keep a post-it note near you to jot down these feeling places. Be specific enough on your post-it to remember, when you document in the evening, the person, place, or thing that contributed to that feeling.
