Instead of having a to do list what about creating a to be list, would that make life more meaningful?
First of all, how are we showing up for ourselves?
Am I listening to myself
Am I aware of my needs
Am I able to express them in a kind manner
Is my self talk kind to me
Am I soothing myself in emotional situations
Am I understanding the connection between my emotions and thought process
Am I behaving in a way that is beneficial to me and kind to others
Am I able to say no and create boundaries around my values
Am I aware of my values
Am I living with virtue and do I have my own ethical standards
Am i aware of my connection to life force, the essence of life
Am I able to detach myself from the chatter in my mind
Am I accepting of myself without expectation
An interesting list for ones self awareness, but are we aware socially?
The natural world can look after herself but we need to be respecting and loving her as we are connected to her even if we are not aware of that, we are connected to the whole universe and our being alive effects it as it effects us on many levels, whether we are aware or not!
So how socially aware are we?
Am I listening to others
Am I aware of others needs
Am I allowing others to express themselves
Am I speaking kindly to others
Am I soothing others in emotional states
Am I striving to understand others
Am I behaving kindly to others and true to myself
Am I accepting others no and boundaries
Am I understanding others values
Am I making the effort to understand different beliefs and cultures while being myself
Am I accepting of others without expectation
I believe that if we all became aware of ourselves on this level then things would start to run a lot more smoothly and peacefully in the world, better communication and connection in families and business, politics, all levels of society.
It takes some time, my personal growth has been a journey of 35 years but I wish i had been aware of many methods earlier on, so I could of been aware of generational trauma, the strategies we adopt as children and take into adult life and the communication styles we adopt which don't serve us as adults, there is so much to relearn but i find it fascinating and I hope you do to.
