One of the most important accomplishments in our lives is also the one that is least achieved. Becoming self-aware allows us to change for the better and eliminate habits that are preventing us from being successful in various aspects of our lives.
So, what is it to become self-aware?
Like love and other strong emotions, it is difficult to fully grasp their intensity and meaning without having experienced them yourself first. Therefore, instead of attempting to answer that question, I challenge you to try it yourself.
There are several activities including yoga and meditation that allow you to become self-aware. The first thing you must become aware of is your breath and how it fills your body. Our breath is something we take for granted, and yet without it, we would be dead. Take a minute and concentrate on your breath, how even or uneven it is, where it goes in your body and how it makes you feel. Interesting, isn't it? Something we take for granted all of a sudden is so complex and multi-layered.
Learning about your breath is the first (and quite possibly the most important) step to becoming self-aware.
