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).
What if the Pursuit of Happiness is Just a Distraction?
What if rather than pursuing happiness we’re seeking conscious awareness?
The pursuit of happiness is a notion often repeated in stories both fictional and nonfictional, inspirational quotes, and from lots of sources you encounter frequently.
When you’re mindful you are empowered. That empowerment allows you to take control of your life experiences.
Acknowledging Impermanence and Change
Change is inevitable, and impermanence is reality .
The one and only constant in the Universe is change.
Change can, will, and does occur all the time. No two moments are the same. Alike, maybe, but the same? No. That’s how frequently change occurs.
Everything and everyone you know changes. It’s a constant, a given, a universal fact, and proof of impermanence.
Why Is Focus So Important to Self-Awareness?
Focusing within empowers you to take control of these and align them to best suit your life.
Active conscious awareness is mindfulness. This is the act of being present, here and now.
When you focus on your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions, you can see if they suit you. And you have the power to change them.
That’s empowerment. Focus on yourself, and you empower yourself.
Recognizing and Acknowledging When You Need to Change
Choosing to change begins with recognition and acknowledgment.
Change happens. It’s the only constant in the universe. As always, you have a choice of approach and the direction for you to make.
Mental Health and Combatting “Resistance”
Mental health (emotional health and spiritual health, too) gets insufficient attention. But self-awareness depends on your knowledge of your health, wellness, and wellbeing.
Resistance is a force that stands against your work to be your best self. It frequently manifests as procrastination, excuses, indecision, and anything and everything that keeps you from doing your work.
