How Can I Become More Aware So I Can Live Effectively?
Too often, we may be blinded by pride, selfishness, or lack of awareness. Which means we don’t do anything about our issues, and our problems become a downward spiral of denial. That all changes when we embrace awareness as a key step to life improvement.
How can you increase your awareness and live more intentionally?
Face Your Issues to Prevent Problems
We all have personal issues that affect our well-being. Sometimes we ignore them, and they become big problems later. Instead, always have at least one issue you’re working to improve. It will be easier than waiting to address it, and you’ll be glad you acted sooner.
Build Self-Awareness and Self-Control
Each of us has strengths and weaknesses, and it’s good to be aware of what they are. Then, just as exercise strengthens our muscles, we build resilience with our actions. You’ll get stronger every time you right a wrongdoing, resist a temptation, or drop a resentment.
Open Your Eyes So You Can Truly See
A great way to be more aware is to intentionally focus on what’s around us. When we seek truth, God, gratitude, and kindness we will find them. We are all blind at times, but by opening the eyes of our heart, we will see God’s amazing grace and treat others better.
Here are some useful resources to help you increase your awareness:
- A Healthy Self-Awareness
- Regular Inspection and Maintenance
- It’s Okay Not To Be Okay
- It’s Okay, We All Have Issues
- Developing a Healthy Sense of Self
Next Right Steps: Think of an area where you will become intentional about increasing your awareness.
