Awareness

The simple idea of noticing what is within you is the foundation for a beautiful journey. You can easily be missing out on who you are or on having the life that feels right because your attention has moved in so many other directions. Turning your focus on yourself is the first step to opening your life to possibility.

Awareness is the path towards knowing yourself and towards your purpose. It allows for a deeper understanding of you and your interactions and therefore brings growth. Changes come about once you are aware. This is when you hear a call to move forward.

The point where you find yourself asking questions about your life, wondering who you are, and where you should be, shows a readiness for exploration. This is a time when you can welcome awareness into your life. This curiosity is an indication that there are new opportunities for you beginning in the present moment.

Awareness is planting the seed. Paying attention is the first step to being able to: take action in your life, follow your dreams and know yourself. Each moment of awareness that you receive will uncover the next. These discoveries lead to an expanded understanding and more frequent moments of clarity. You can cultivate the ability to bring ideas forward into your consciousness when you are ready to see them from a larger perspective.

There came a time in my life where I was just going through the motions and an even more poignant time when this no longer acceptable to me. I feel fortunate that this feeling came into my awareness so that I was able to explore it.  I used feelings of depression and a diminishing ability to connect as an incentive to listen to my own thoughts and messages.

If you would like to hear yourself you can begin by paying attention. To do this make note of the thoughts that you are having. Realize that you are able to notice these thoughts almost as if you are a separate person hearing a conversation. As you grow in awareness you will be able to be mindful of where you are placing your attention. There is no need for any judgment of these thoughts, only listening.

Thoughts are things that can be changed when you focus on them. As you continue this practice you are allowing more space for your subconscious to reveal new stories or meanings. This will allow you to maintain what serves you and release what does not serve you.

There are many areas where you may want to turn your awareness. Putting your thoughts into perspective can give you insight into what is limiting you in your life, what you are attached to, and what your ego is presenting you. It shines a light on what causes your different emotions.

If you would like to open your heart begin to pay attention to your fears. If you would like to be aware of your ego begin to pay attention to your thoughts. If you would like to know your spirit begin to pay attention to your stillness. If you would like to understand your energy begin to pay attention to your body.

This new awareness will create momentum, uncover revelations and bring you into your life. I would love to talk about how to bring awareness into your life, please leave a comment about awareness, life coaching or about living inside out.
