During your life, you are running after people.

You want to be socially connected and accepted.

Perhaps, you want to make others happy, because it makes you feel good.

You want to be loved. You want to be understood. 

But even for a minute, have you ever asked yourself what YOU really want?

You see, most people are not aware of who they are and what makes them happy.

They go through life without taking the time to get to know themselves. They don’t do any self-discovery…and therefore, they may struggle with self awareness for various reasons.

And that’s sad… because if you don’t know yourself, you will never be able to unlock your full potential and be truly fulfilled.

You become so busy with other stuff that you forget about your own self, your own identity. In the end, you may even get away from your existence.

But all you own is ‘you’, so why not take time to understand it correctly? You know that you are very important, right?

Self-awareness is the first step to inner peace and happiness. If you are not aware of who you are, how can you be happy?

You are important

Who is the most important person to you?

The answer should be obvious, your own self.

Observe what makes you happy, what makes you anxious, what you truly want, and what you want to remove from your life. This will make you aware of yourself more and connect you with your inner world, which can also be congruent with the outer world.

The most important person in your life is YOU! 

Get to know yourself better and be grateful for all that you are and have. This will help you lead a happier and more fulfilling life.

Communicate your needs

Once you know your needs, wants, and struggles, it is crucial to communicate them to others. Have you heard about personal boundaries?

Are people around you aware of what you are going through?

If you silently keep expectations, you are indirectly hurting yourself and others. If something is bothering your peace of mind, share it with a friend, your loved one and vent it out. You will feel much better and lighter.

Don’t keep everything to yourself. Have people who can help you rise, who can hold your hand in times of difficulty, and who can make you feel happier and lighter. Do you have these people around you? We bet, you do!

Have clarity of your goals

Self-awareness helps with focus and clarity. If you know what you want in your life and your goals, you will automatically be more focused.

Once you know what your heart truly wants and what you are made for: challenges, struggles and difficulties will not be able to stop you. In fact, they would motivate you more to keep going.

Be clear about your goals and what you want out of life. Every decision you make will carry you closer to your goals and sustain your progress.  

Grow and Glow

If you are not self-aware, you can’t grow. Self-awareness leads to self-improvement. It turns you into a better decision-maker, it boosts your confidence and self-esteem and as a result, you grow and glow.

You become a better version of yourself, leading to a happier and more fulfilling life. 

Self-awareness is not an option if you want to lead a more conscious, happy and meaningful life.

It is the first step towards personal growth and inner peace. So make sure to take some time out to get to know yourself better. It is non-negotiable, really!
