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).
How Does Accepting Ourselves – Good AND Bad – Empower Us?
Nobody goes through life without both good and bad.
Accepting that is empowering.
How does acceptance empower us?
Mindfulness lets us see – here and now – what we’re thinking, what we’re feeling, how we’re feeling, what we’re doing, and what our intentions are. That knowledge opens us to see who, what, where, how, and why we are.
Do You See Your Birthday as a New Level or New Devil?
You always have a choice when it comes to your Birthday (your personal New Year )
Approach with sadness and sorrow or approach with excitement for both what has been and what has come before
Mostly I see three approaches to birthdays:
• Joy
• Dread
• Utter nonchalance
These are, respectively, positive, negative, and neutral.
New level or new devil?
Self-Awareness Explains What, How, Who, Where and Why We Are
Why we are – and all else – depends on circumstances both in and out of our control.
All elements of who, what, where, how, and why we are occurred through various combinations of choices made and not made, extenuating circumstances, and/or random happenstance.
What Are We Doing and Why?
Do you ever stop and ask, “What am I doing?” When you get the answer, does it sometimes raise the additional question of “Why am I doing it?”
How does this happen? There are, of course, many reasons. But we frequently don’t question them.
How do we reclaim this?
How Does Mindfulness Build Habits?
Habits are the result of mindfulness that becomes rote and routine
To change anything at all, or to develop a new skillset, we need to find, create, and build new habits.
All habits can be changed.
It’s a matter of recognizing and acknowledging what our habits are. After that, we need to take mindful actions to change them.
