We all have a unique blend of “good” and “bad” traits, but we are largely unaware of them. If we want to self-reflect objectively on these traits, we need to quiet our minds and open our hearts, forgive ourselves for our imperfection, and offer ourselves kudos, but only where we deserve them. In other words, we must cultivate our self-awareness if we want to self-reflect. Everyone builds self-awareness in their own way, but there are a few things you can do to get you on the right path. One useful way to inspire more self-awareness is walking in the quiet of nature. The mind tends to wander along with our feet, so with a little conscious walking, we can examine our part in something that is happening in our lives now. Becoming a good listener can also make us more self-aware. When we learn to be open to what someone else is saying, we can learn to listen objectively, even lovingly, to what that person needs to share. This, in turn, helps teach us how to listen to our own inner dialogues and opinions objectively and lovingly as well. Need more tips for cultivating self-awareness. Have a look over here.
