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).
S5 Ep7: How Do Choices and Decisions Tie Into Self-Awareness?
Leaving the rote, routine, and subconscious living behind can be done by working with active conscious awareness.
To use active conscious awareness to make choices and decisions is a matter of mindfulness. To begin practicing mindfulness, you just need to be present, here and now.
Action often implies the physical. The truth is, it’s not literally what you do as much as it’s choices and decisions that you make. Actively choosing and deciding is how you can gain what little control over your life experience is available to you.
S5 Ep6: Broken Happens But Beaten is a Choice
You might get broken, but you won’t be beaten.
The modern world is obsessed with extremes. So many things are viewed as either/or, rather than the far vaster middle between them.
One Size Fits All never fits all. Yet you’re constantly bombarded by messages to conform, to find your accepted place in society, and to be a cog in the machine.
When it comes to your mental, emotional, and spiritual health, wellness, and wellbeing, lots of things might break you along the way.
S5 Ep5: What Does it Mean to Enter The Void or The Flow State
Tapping into this place between the subconscious and conscious mind.
The Void or The Flow State are references to that place outside of time and space where you simply are. They’re the ultimate expression of the here and now — the present moment. In the flow, you ride along aware and unaware at the same time. It’s an amazing disconnect where super cool things happen.
Creativity directly connects you to The Void or The Flow State. That is one of the best ways to see, recognize, and develop your empowerment.
S5 Ep4: The Incredible, Amazing Power of Gratitude
Tangible or intangible, big or small, gratitude is always empowering.
There is no such thing as negative gratitude. Sure, there’s false gratitude, but that’s not gratitude. Genuine, true, real gratitude is always positive.
Genuine gratitude is an expression of appreciation. Appreciation is a direct pathway to kindness, compassion, and empathy. Everyone, everywhere, desires kindness, compassion, and empathy.
S5 Ep3: Positivity Learned from the Uncomfortable
Getting mindfully uncomfortable can lead to positivity.
Mindfulness around this topic begins with acquiring conscious awareness of my thoughts, feelings, actions, approach, and intentions. Just thinking and feeling this out is a step away from your comfort zone. That’s because it points me in the direction of the unknown and uncomfortable.
Mindfulness can only be practiced by each of us individually.
