Awakening to greater consciousness is to become aware of certain aspects of your inner state of being. Knowing yourself allows you to do personal work to let go of limiting of negative thoughts and behaviors. These aspects of your life utilized as a sounding board to release fears in order to create a happier, healthy life.
There are many, many types of fear you can experience. Fear of Abandonment, Fear of Conflict and Fear of Trusting just to name a few. The really hard part is to identify your core issues. These fear create a narrower perception of your daily life experiences.
Your perception of reality creates the many illusions you face day to day. An illusion is a wrong view and can color what you see or feel in any situation.
Your illusions can keep you cornered in and not offer you the view of other available options. In any situation we have many different options to choose from.
You often see things in life with a black and white view. This is bad, that is good. The categorization process is very limiting. Everyone does this process to a certain degree. This duality can actually create additional fears. Learn to see all situations as a growth opportunity. Neither good nor bad.
If you have fears triggered in a life situation, then the world you know comes in two polarized views. Knowing yourself can help you to see more than the two extremes (good and bad) and expand your point of view.
Perception is everything. You must know yourself and your core issues to fully realize the potential in your life.
Ask yourself…
Am I happy with who I am? -- Are my relationships the way I would like? -- Which things work or don’t work well? -- Am I having a good day? -- How often to I feel frustrated? -- What makes me scared or insecure? -- What makes me happy?
Knowing yourself …
Helps to alleviate fears.
Creates greater growth opportunity.
Opens doorways to greater consciousness
Gives you many more choices in your life. Creates more happiness and satisfaction in your life.
Ask yourself, how well do I know what I’m afraid of? How well do I know what triggers me in the moment.? We may still be triggered knowing both answers however we can realize that our actions and reaction is a choice we make.
You have a precious human life that deserves happiness and joy. Knowing yourself is half the battle. Your choices are the other half.
Take some time with yourself today to really look at yourself through loving but open eyes. It’s worth it. It may be the one thing that empowers you to get the most out of your life.
