The power of self-awareness.
Learn how developing high self-awareness can lead to breakthroughs in every area of your life.
Hey,
It’s Alex.
High self-awareness is the key to a meaningful, successful life.
I truly believe in that statement.
If you are aware of your:
Beliefs
Behavior
Way of thinking
And… Daily actions and habits
You can experience phenomenal breakthroughs in any area of your life.
But…
No one is born with high self-awareness.
It’s something that you “earn” during your lifetime. And it depends on you how deep your understanding of yourself and the world is going to be.
“You won. I gave up. Your life is a lost case.”
I heard this provocative statement from a psychotherapist towards his patient online.
It was an online dialogue, with the patient remaining anonymous.
This statement?
It’s not something you hear every day…
A therapist, whose role is to support and heal his clients, declares that he can’t help.
But it was a bold provocation.
It was a provocation to shake the person and show him that this time, no one was going to “buy his story” like all the other ten therapists before.
Because this was the reality…
The patient was going from one therapist to another and seeking “approval” that his life situation is so bad that he has the right to give up on everything.
But not this time.
The goal of this statement was to push the person to the corner.
Indirectly, it was telling him: “Wake up… Look at yourself and realize no one is going to save you.”
It’s harsh.
It’s brutal.
But sometimes this is what we need.
And the experience and wisdom of a good coach or therapist is to feel when to use the stick (tough love) and when to use the carrot (soft love).
Because sometimes we aren’t aware that we are the ones creating our own suffering.
Being aware means to take 100% responsibility.
This is why it’s not easy…
When we aren’t aware: we look for excuses and someone to blame, especially when we’re dealing with something significant that requires a lot of energy.
When we’re aware: we listen to ourselves and ask the hard questions that push us to think and find solutions.
Solutions for our problems.
So, it’s a constant process of gathering energy and thinking of solutions for the problems we face.
A “dance” between gathering energy from within or seeking it from the outside
There is no other way.
If you don’t look for solutions, you look for excuses and someone to blame.
This can make you feel comfortable for a while.
But for the long term?
It’s a wasted life of constant suffering, mediocrity, and drama.
Does this mean that we constantly need to be aware of everything and everyone?
Never share our struggles?
Of course not.
We all need warmth and support.
People can share empathy and give love.
But the main idea is even if right now you are:
Down
The energy is low
Life circumstances are painful and hard
The energy and solution are supposed to come from inside of you.
No one can live your life.
No one can know what you want.
And if you ask someone what you should do…
Perhaps you’re shifting the responsibility from yourself to someone else.
Solutions come from asking the right questions.
My favorite is: “What do I want?”
Not “What do I have to do?”.
What do I want?
When we constantly do things because “we have to”, we lose our energy and desire for life.
When there is a big imbalance between “I want” and “I have to,” and most of your life is just things you have to do…
It’s a way to depression.
What do I want?
What brings me joy?
It seems like these questions should be easy to answer.
But this is the beauty of self-awareness.
We can’t always see when we lie to ourselves.
This is why therapy or coaching can be so powerful.
You will not succeed in holding your mask in front of a therapist or a coach for the long term.
Eventually, you’ll begin to see yourself more clearly, and your self-awareness will grow.
And when this happens…
You can finally live your life.
Not a life that you think you should live.
Not a life that you were thinking is good for you.
No…
A life that you want.
Because you finally start to feel what is truly yours and what never was.
