The Power of Self-Awareness

"When you know better, you do better."

                                                                       - Maya Angelou

This beautiful piece of wisdom applies to all areas of life. If we trudge through each day unaware of the things within and around us that are preventing us from being happy and feeling fulfilled, there is not much we can do to change. But just as soon as we welcome awareness, we begin to feel the need to change and remove those things we know are limiting us. Awareness is often all it takes to solve an issue...but often it's the hardest thing to awaken in ourselves. Being self-aware and heightening knowledge of ourselves can be daunting and sometimes frightening. But the benefits of self-awareness certainly outweigh the temporary discomfort of the journey.

Not only is the journey of self-awareness and self-discovery beneficial to ourselves, but also to those we love, especially our children. Because as the wise quote above says, we will do better when we have knowledge as our ally. And certainly our children deserve our best!

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of attending a V.I.E.W seminar facilitated by Bobbi Beuree. I was amazed to experience an incredible moment of self-discovery that cleared up a lot of the fog surrounding a decision in my life that I was struggling with. As soon as the light of awareness shone upon those long-buried beliefs and assumptions I had about myself, I felt a sense of clarity and understanding and was able to finally feel a sense of peace about this particular decision.

I feel that ever since I began this journey of self-discovery a few years ago, it's like the flood gates of empowerment have opened and it just keeps coming! I love it! And I find myself wishing others may also experience this positive energy! That's why I love this area of work and I am very excited to find and create ways to encourage others to find the power self-awareness brings. 

There are a few projects in the works right now that I'm very excited about! And just as soon as they are ready to share, I will!
