Many ask, what is this “conscious awareness” stuff. I’m conscious, I’m awake and I am aware of the phone, the TV and people when they speak to me. I don’t understand what people mean by becoming conscious aware, are there people who are not aware of this stuff? This was the response I got when I first mentioned these words to a woman in her late twenties.
I recognized that we need to spend some time sharing what Conscious Awareness is and what it means to our own personal growth. First off, becoming aware simply means recognizing that something is.
Some know that they want a better life, but don’t know what that means let alone how to get it. They desire more, but what is that more. How do they change to bring more and better into their life? Do the work, become more conscious aware. It begins with exploring and giving yourself credit for your growth to date. Start at the beginning make a list of what and how you have grown. You will become more aware of what growth is, next you will ask yourself “why do I want to grow?” What will that bring you? How will it affect your life? Then start to recognize the patterns that keep you where you are. The way people treat you, how you react, what are you attracted to and why?
Start to become aware of your inner voice, we all have one. I once heard somewhere if you ever say to yourself “self we are going to…” or you may say “I’m going to remind myself to…” who are you talking to? You are talking to your inner self. We all do. It would be a very lonely place if we didn’t have ourselves to talk to. So if you acknowledge that you talk to yourself, you must become more aware of the inner voice talking to you. Now you are on your journey of conscious awareness.
Once you have become more aware of your growth to date, the patterns in your life, the difference between you and your inner self and you begin to hear your body, you are ready for real change.
