Sixteen Practices that lead to Self Awareness
Ever wondered how some people are so self aware and don’t stress out over small things and seem to always be calm and collected? This is because they have mastered the ability of being self aware. What is self awareness? It is the conscious knowledge of one’s own character, feelings, motivations and desires. Here is a list of Fifteen different things that will help you become more self aware. Research suggests that when we see ourselves clearly, we are more confident and more creative. When we are self aware, we make sounder decisions, build stronger relationships, and communicate more effectively. We’re less likely to lie, cheat, and steal. We are better workers who get more promotions. And we’re more-effective leaders with more-satisfied employees and more-profitable companies. Research has revealed that even though most people believe they are self-aware, self-awareness is a truly rare quality: We estimate that only 10%–15% of the people we studied actually fit the criteria.
There are two types of self awareness. The first being, internal self awareness, which is how we see ourselves and our own values, character and goals. A study of self awareness by Haley M. Woznyj at Longwood University and Phoenix Van Wagoner, Leeds School of Business found internal self-awareness is associated with higher job and relationship satisfaction, personal and social control, and happiness; it is negatively related to anxiety, stress, and depression.
The second type of self awareness is external self awareness which is understanding how other people view us, an our values, characters and goals. The research from this study showed that people who truly know how others see them are more adept to empathy and understanding others’ perspectives.
This is why it is important to focus on these principles to achieve a balance of internal self awareness, and external self awareness, which all of these characteristics on this list will help you achieve what you desire.

Gratitude- Pay attention to what you are grateful for and actually tell the universe thank you daily. Just like when you are at a server at a restaurant and you aren’t grateful for the table to come in, when it comes time for you collect the check and tip, most likely there won’t be one or it won’t be high. Giving gratitude makes our hearts soar.
Self Esteem - love yourself first, because you certainly can’t help others unless you help yourself first. Feel confident in the beautiful soul you are. Recognize the importance of progress not perfection and understand. Once we truly love ourselves we build confidence with further builds. Once one understands they are a loving worthy vessel for God, you will begin to understand many of these other concepts on this sheet.
Neutrality- Find yourself a place of true alignment with all and with source. Try not to pass judgment on anyone else or on their situation. We don’t always know the whole story so we can simply stay neutral and kind.

Sphere of Influence - As you expand your consciousness so will your sphere of influence expand not just in your reality but in the world. Observe the impact of your energy on others and be cognizant of it. Bring awareness to everything you speak and speak your truth always. This is mean what you say and say what you mean.
Overcome Fear - Fear is the only frequency that represents physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bondage. It destroys our capacity to do the things we were put on this earth to do.All of us have the power to transmute darkness into light so if you don’t fear something in the other realms it cannot hurt you. The negative alien agenda uses fear and the fear belief that some reptilian might run off with you, but fear is what puts you on their radar to being with.We cannot bury trauma and must confront it head on. Ego causes a lot of fear based reactions. Try to stay away from letting your ego control you.
Control your emotions - The state of one’s emotions determines what kind of an experience they are having in this life. We determine the quality of our lives, friends, relationships and experiences and it is based on controlling those emotions that will cause you problems. If you don’t confront your emotions they will fester and then keep us from doing the very thing that we love and ultimately we will impede our own spiritual growth.
Forgiveness - This is a big one. In order to love yourself truly, you will have to let go of anger and resentment and forgive people for things. It is truly the best thing you can do for yourself. Once we forgive others for their transgressions we free ourselves from those emotional cords and self sabotage. Trust me it’s a wonderful thing to forgive someone, you feel 10 pounds lighter once you do. It is a lot of weight carrying around that kind of baggage.
Confront Beliefs - Do you know who you really are? Are you living authentically? If not, then start. Confront beliefs within yourself that do not resonate as being yours and get rid of them. So often we take on the beliefs of others because we want to be cool like them or because we want to be liked and not different but you are not acting in your highest good. Humans tend to be critical beings, by beating yourself up you actually serve no one and and harm our well being. You must also cut cords from those who no longer serve you.

Wake up every morning knowing its going to be a fantastic day. This alone will change your life. Like i said earlier, you create your own reality. As above so below. If you change your above (thinking) and tell yourself today is going to be a fantastic day, your consciousness will follow suit. If you wake up and think ugh I don’t even want to get up today, then your day is going to be a living hell. Using positive affirmations first thing in the morning sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Attention - What do you focus your attention on? Mastering your focus is essential in self awareness. Meditation, Trance and even lucid dreaming can help you focus your attention in the right way. Learning to develop your own psychic abilities an innate gifts will help you understand how to master your focus.
Empathy - Empathy is being able to understand and share the feelings of another, not everyone can do this completely but I can be developed with practice. Having empathy increases leadership, teaches you to ask the right questions, boosts teamwork and much more. Just by listening more you can develop your empathic abilities, by being around those that you have less natural sympathy with, even enemies and trying to empathize with them is very effective.
Acceptance - Learn to practice acceptance and adapt to wherever you may be in your life right now and be ok with it. Believe in a higher self and greater reason for your being here and accept yourself for the beautiful soul that you are. Once you accept something you know you can change it. It is through denying it that it festers and becomes something much bigger than it need be.
Reclaiming Sovereignty or personal power- Take responsibility for your actions and state out loud that you reclaim your person sovereignty and that no one who wishes you harm may stay. Light some sweetgrass or sage and cleanse the place out and you will find out you feel lighter. Be aware of congruency, make sure you are living your life in alignment with the words you speak, out loud and to yourself. Without personal power we often become involved in toxic relationships or get involved for the wrong reasons.
Practice Unity Consciousness- In the Law of One books we are to understand that all things are made of universal energy. Unity Consciousness is the understanding that you are one with everything and everyone. It connects you deeper to the creator and it also activates the Light of Christos. The inner light of Christos allows you to establish yourself as a God yourself in so much that you are in alignment with the earth and all creation fully and its waves of energy cycles that will keep passing through.
Sense your own energy- The ability to sense one’s own energy is an innate ability that requires a bit of practice but will help you understand your own energy levels and ultimately be able to know others energy as well. It will help you understand the condition of your energy and if you are low on vital life energy or have too much, and either can lead to an imbalance. Sensing your own energy will directly increase your awareness. Giving attention to your body and you give body energy. Because energy follows attention, your attention strengthens the energy flow in the body.This allows you to develop a powerful aura that attracts you a successful life. Through this process you can also get rid of disease and pain in your body.
