Self-Awareness for Everyone
Applied Guidance for Mindfulness
Meet Your Host
I am MJ Blehart - a dreamer, philosopher, geek, writer, editor, amateur photographer, and medieval fencer/herald/
re-enactor. I’ve been writing fiction since I was 9 and have been blogging regularly for more than 10 years.
I believe that Consciousness Creates Reality. Thus, I’m certain that we have the power to make our lives into whatever we believe we can. And that begins with self-awareness.
I have the pleasure of serving as your guide through easy-to-use mindfulness tools, conscious reality creation, and other devices for unselfish self-awareness.
Currently, I live in New Jersey (near Philadelphia) with my wife and two feline overlords (cats).
S4 Ep18: Why Do We Need More Genuine, Non-Toxic Positivity in the World?
What does genuine, non-toxic positivity look like?
First and foremost, it does not apply to anyone other than you. You recognize and acknowledge the world can be an imperfect, illogical, even awful place. Bad things might be happening/have happened, and they’re not to be disregarded. Then, you practice mindfulness to be consciously aware of yourself.
What this looks like is recognizing something has happened, but that either/and/or it’s a learning opportunity, a blessing in disguise, an unavoidable change, or a chance to start something new, change direction, and so on.
This comes down to making choices and decisions for how you approach life here and now and then moving forward. Genuine, non-toxic positivity is working with potential and possibilities to live life on your terms and in your control.
S4 Ep17: What If There’s Nothing You Can Do About That?
Is there anything you can do about that?
The world seems to be going quite mad, right? Yet, there’s an important question about this that you might not ask. Is there anything that you can do about that?
The answer is going to vary from person to person. For the most part, it’s “that depends”. Overall, however, the answer is going to be no. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing at all I can do about these things. It comes down to self-awareness and mindfulness.
S4 Ep16: Mindfulness Isn’t Only About The Mind
Mindfulness isn’t just about the mind. The whole body is impacted by active conscious awareness practice. That superpower is how you can be virtually anything you desire to be. Via mindfulness, you can recognize your options and make conscious, active choices about what paths to walk - or not - to the desired end.
S4 Ep15: Why Is Self-Awareness and Just Being Yourself So Challenging?
Learn self-awareness to be yourself.
Nobody lives in a bubble. You should have some awareness of the people, places, and things around you. This applies to both the direct and indirect. But what about knowing who, what, where, how, and why YOU are?
The key to being yourself is self-awareness.
S4 Ep14: Why Be Mindful of What You Consume?
No matter what it is – food, media, entertainment, drugs – you have ultimate control.
Consumption isn’t only about food and drink. It’s also about what you watch, read, listen to, see, and take in.
When it comes to what you consume, more mindfulness of it allows you to choose healthy versus unhealthy options, whether they’ll impact you physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or all the above.
This empowers you to take the control that is your right for how to live your life.
