We lose self-awareness in our lives when we are:
1. Directionlessness
How can we feel and sense life if we don’t have the intention to do so? Bring more conscious choice into your days and you will feel enlivened.
2. Detachment
If we detach from all negative feeling, we also risk losing connection with positive feeling. You have to feel your experiences and moments again.
3. Disassociated
It’s easy to go through life and look at our bad behavior and say, “Well, that just wasn’t the real me.” But that was you. And it’s time to own it, to stop trying to disassociate parts of who you are. To feel aware, we must own our entirety, the good and bad.
4. Distraction
This is the ultimate thief of real awareness. We must do all we can do to minimize the inconsequential in our lives. If we’re constantly scatter brained we can sense or immerse in the magic of each moment.
