What if, as if waking up from a dream, you come to such a point of awareness and clarity, that you clearly know your purpose and what can fulfill you, and you know what situations and relationships that have hindered you from being happy? Would you begin doing things differently with your new realization? Here are a few ways to help with conscious awareness in your life:

1. Your unconscious mind must respond to your commands. Sometimes you may not realize the things you think or say are commands, but that’s how your unconscious mind processes them, without judgment. So overhauling your inner dialogue can help you with clarity and motivation. Say positive, affirming statements in the present tense in relation to staying in the moment, being fully aware, being focused and calm, etc.

2. Sure, it’s important to understand how you feel about a situation but did you realize how valuable it is to understand how the other person feels? “Emotional Intelligence” works both ways. The more you make it a priority to understand where the other person is coming from, the more complete information you have.

3. When you feel overwhelmed or stressed, there is an awareness exercise that helps you with acceptance, solutions and resourcefulness. Imagine taking yourself out of what feels like the “eye of the storm”. Suspend yourself over the situation, only as an observer. See what led up to this point, and all of the sides of it, with clear emotional intelligence and logic. Take your time.

Patiently build these new changes as habits and you’ll see obvious results. Use them to help with new awareness on a daily basis.
