Four Awareness Principles for Opening New Chapters in Your Life

Wake Up to the "Real YOU"

The mind often acts as a barrier to becoming one's best self. Unlearning the influences of the body and mind is crucial in discovering the "Real You." It involves distinguishing between the Body You, driven by cravings and visceral needs, the Mind You, influenced by judgments and criticisms, and the Real You, representing your essence – capable, confident, and belonging. By focusing on understanding your essence, you can avoid being solely driven by the impulses of the body or mind.

Focus On Being and Becoming, not Doing and Getting

Humans are beings, not just doings or getters. True happiness comes from concentrating on what you're being and becoming, rather than what you're doing and getting. Reflect on moments of happiness, such as sitting with a loved one, recognizing that the essence of being in the moment holds more value than specific actions. Acknowledge that your essence already possesses peace and happiness, making happiness a state of being rather than a pursuit.

Discover the Anchor that Halts Your Journey

Sometimes, happiness is found through loss or letting go of old beliefs and thoughts. Identify the thoughts or beliefs that anchor you and may hinder your progress. Challenge and release habitual stories that no longer serve your growth. Life transitions often involve letting go of stories, assumptions, and patterns that no longer contribute positively to your life.

Witness the Moments of Being in Your Essence

Catch glimpses of your best self in moments of living, loving, and leading from your highest self. Envision what your life would look like with the peace of essence, free from external influences. Practice witnessing moments where you respond from your essence instead of reacting physically or mentally. Daily journaling about these moments solidifies the awareness and growth occurring in your life.

In embracing these awareness principles, you pave the way for a new chapter in your life, guided by authenticity, growth, and the realization of your highest self.
