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).
Separating Self-Care from Selfishness
Accountability separates self-care from selfishness. Choosing to care for and look out for yourself is not with selfish intent. Not unless you do so without care or regard for anyone or anything else.
You can’t help others recognize self-care from selfishness.
You are worthy and deserving of good health, overall wellness, and wellbeing. Which means you are worthy and deserving of self-care.
Self-Awareness and Your Subconscious Mind
Self-Awareness and your subconscious mind reveals the deeply rooted aspects of you.
Within your subconscious are all your beliefs, values, and habits. You are likely aware of many. But there are also, quite probably, many that you are not so aware of.
Your subconscious takes in all that you experience, learn, see, think, feel, and whatnot. Then, because it lacks the filters of the conscious mind, many things it absorbs sit there and leave a lasting impression that you would not consciously choose.
Depression is a Lying Liar that Lies a Lot
You do not suffer depression alone.
Recognizing this can help you turn to people when it strikes and find better ways to cope with and combat it.
Call it what you will, depression is something far more people cope with than you might realize.
This is a very real mental and emotional health problem that should neither be ignored, nor swept under the rug. Yet there are still many, many people who do not recognize or acknowledge the depth of the issue.
You’re Not the Only One Feeling the Feelings You’re Feeling
You are not the only one feeling frequently distraught and uncertain.
The starting point for dealing with the feelings you’re feeling is self-awareness of self-care.
Who is in your head? You. And you’re it. There is nobody else in there. Thus, if you don’t take the time and make the effort to care for your self – who will? Because you are the only one in your heart, head, and soul, only you can care for your health, wellness, and wellbeing.
Health, Wellness, Wellbeing, and Self-Awareness
Getting healthy is physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
There are things that you and I can do on our own to work on getting healthy on all levels. These four elements make up our overall health, wellness, and wellbeing. Allow me to further illustrate this here.
