Self Awareness

Self-awareness leads to meaningful change.

You can not expect to change what you are not aware of. To make meaningful change it is important to know what it is you want to change for yourself and not for your loved ones or for external approval. Many people change themselves based on how others want them to be or to achieve a certain status in society. This is not meaningful change, it has no personal meaning and will not give you the results you were hoping to achieve. How can you make meaningful change? The answer is self awareness. You need to be aware of your core values and core beliefs. Values for the foundation for your behaviour and everything you bring into your life. Your core beliefs determine your thoughts, decisions and the emotions you experience. A value is a belief, mission, or philosophy that is meaningful. Whether we are consciously aware of them or not, everyone has a core set of values. Values can range from beauty and wealth to loyalty and trust. If you don’t know or haven’t defined your values, you end up drifting along in life. Instead of basing your decisions on an internal compass you make choices based on circumstances and social pressures. You end up trying to fulfil others’ expectations instead of your own. Clarifying, and expressing your life in alignment with your core values is a primary step in knowing how to be happy and create change. Our core values and beliefs determine our progress and success in life. Your core beliefs are your own personal power. You have the ability to attract what you want. A core belief can originate from a place of positivity or negativity. So when you are thinking in your head “I don’t deserve to be in this persons presence”, this is a negative core belief that you have made up for no reason other than the you have low self esteem. With positive core beliefs and an inner awareness of your own thinking and how it controls your feelings you can become more self confident in many
