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).
Self-Sabotage and Second-Guessing – The Elephants in the Room
Second-guessing and self-sabotaging originate as thoughts. And the combination of thought and feeling gives them agency in our heads.
All this plays into our subconsciousness. While we could do a deep dive and try to root it out – that’s not all that productive.
Instead, we need to be here, now. Mindful. Consciously self-aware of our current, conscious thoughts, feelings, and intentions.
Self-Awareness Isn’t Selfish
Being self-aware makes you more aware of everyone and everything else, too. Mindfulness empowers you to experience more fully and completely all that life has to offer. That is not selfish, because it allows you to pull others to the light, too. How can that be in any way selfish?
Self-awareness is not selfish.
How do Self-Awareness and Applied Mindfulness Work Together?
Self-awareness and mindfulness are one.
Mindfulness is a matter of being aware of yourself. To put it simply, mindfulness is recognizing, acknowledging, and knowing what is inside your own head.
Mindfulness is self-awareness. It is knowing what you are thinking, how you are feeling, what you are feeling, what actions you are taking, and the intentions behind them.
Awareness That You Can’t Please Everyone
Trying to please everyone will drive you mad. Because you can’t. Try though you might – not everyone can or will be pleased.
Like it or not – it is impossible to please everyone. And though this can be frustrating and infuriating – it’s actually a good thing. Being mindful of this and self-aware allows you to be better balanced and not be a good-natured doormat for anyone.
Situational Awareness and How Awareness for Everyone Works
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. Situational awareness is mindful, present, conscious awareness for everyone.
