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).
Is Mindfulness of Our Fear the Vehicle to Disempower It?
What can we do about this to disempower fear?
Mindfulness gives you control of your life experience because it puts you behind the wheel of your head, heart, and soul.
And since nobody but you is in there – shouldn’t you be the one driving?
Why Does It Take So Long to Get Over Feeling Hurt?
Why does getting over feeling hurt take so long? Because hurt is a complex blend of thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness makes us consciously aware – self-aware - and practical mindfulness helps us in the process of getting over feeling hurt. But it will take time.
What is an Abundance Mindset?
Simply put, an abundance mindset is one of potential, possibility, positivity, options, and the like. An abundance mindset looks at the world with wonder and creativity because you see abundance in all that’s available to us.
How Do The Arts and Things of Beauty Impact Self-Awareness?
For the most part, art is never created mindlessly.
Even the most random artistic creation was intentional.
Paintings, books, sculptures, and the like speak to us. Though they are products outside of ourselves – how they make us think and feel tends to be in the moment and mindful. That, in turn, can awaken more mindfulness and overall self-awareness.
Art is empowering – whatever form it takes. And that’s how the arts impact self-awareness the most. For everyone.
How Do We Stand Up to Fear and Uncertainty?
Stand up to fear and uncertainty!
When we recognize and acknowledge fear and uncertainty – and that suffering tends to be the overarching issue – we empower ourselves to stand up to them.
How? Be practicing practical mindfulness and reason.
Practical mindfulness is being consciously aware and present in the now. It’s a matter of knowing what we’re thinking, how and what we’re feeling, what our intentions are, and how we’re acting. By being consciously aware we become mindful.
