Conscious situational awareness

Recently, I have been exploring practical mindfulness not to create change – but simply for situational awareness. That is in-the-now conscious awareness.

True conscious awareness involves recognition of what’s going on inside of myself. Since I’m the only one inside of my head, heart, and soul, I alone can employ this.

Where does mindfulness come from?

MindfulnSituationaess comes from my sensory input combined with my thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions. That makes me consciously aware – here and now, in this present moment – of my mindset/headspace/psyche self.

That conscious awareness extends further inwards to my subconscious mind and my beliefs, values, and habits. Together, they help me to recognize my ego – which is who, what, and how I believe myself to be and then project to the world at large.

Situational awareness is a regular necessity

The important thing to note here is that practicing mindfulness is not one-and-done. It’s ongoing. Because it is utterly rooted in the moment. The now. And it only works at the time of its application.

By regularly using practical mindfulness, I know myself at the moment of its employment. And that empowers me to make choices for my health, wellness, and wellbeing.

Via mindfulness, I gain conscious awareness of everything that impacts my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. And from there – I see how to find and/or create ways to push through whatever my day might hold.
