Are you self aware?
We all think we are. Just like we all think we’re right, as we learned from Paul Gadola in multiple interviews.
And, really, if you are taking the time to wonder whether or not you are self aware, you probably are.
Our awareness is one of our greatest strengths. It’s a super power. Awareness is how we pay attention to the world around us. It is the currency we use to relate to the world and each other.
Awareness is the conduit through which we connect our individual selves or souls to the outside world or universe.
We can learn to control awareness using our attention. If awareness is the noun, attention is the verb. We use our attention to set an INTENTION toward the universe. What do we want to spend our attention on?
If you’re like me, you spend too much attention wasting your awareness on your d$%& smart phone. Or looking for the next distraction driven dopamine hit. But we’re trying to do better.
The easiest and most effective way to train your attention is meditation. A lot has been said lately, and over the passed 3500 years, about meditation and it often gets overly complicated.
Meditation is simply how we train ourselves to pay attention. It is the practice of awareness.
I’ll talk a bit about meditation in this Episode and how I came to practice. But don’t worry, the next couple of Episodes will fall under the guise of Meditation, Mindfulness, and Mindset.
Many cogs of the same wheel.
For anyone involved in, or curious about Meditation, Attention, Awareness, Mindset, and Mindfulness will benefit from this series of Episodes. I hope you will join me.
