I find myself “waking up” more year by year but I have also felt myself “falling sleep” some years where I haven’t been challenging myself. So one way for me at least to increase self awareness is to constantly improve. Is this the only way to build self awareness?
I think this is the number component to REAL success as everyone’s definition of success is different.
Self awareness is so important as it can literally make life seem like heaven in a “poor” situation or life seem like absolute hell and terror in a “good” situation.
In fact looking back at my life if I had the self awareness I had now I would’ve made soooooo many better decisions and used more of what I had to create a better life and even have the faculties to appreciate it more!
I think modern society has numbed our awareness down to quick pleasure which is why most people lack self awareness and are into massive delusions (most celebrities and Instagram celebrities). Sure they may have what “success” means in society such as designer clothes and material objects but what about their spiritual life? Their essence? Are they totally in the physical not even aware? How are their relationships? Do they have real relationships or is everything based off of manipulation?
Even in business having self awareness allows you to genuinely connect with your audience with no strings attached.
So far I believe exposing yourself to pain (physical exercise, cold showers, approaching that girl you think is cute, facing your fears)) and challenging yourself to higher goals promotes self awareness as these things show out flaws in your character when you DONT get the results thus forces you to confront yourself.
Anything else that promotes self awareness you guys want to add?
