Self-Awareness in Relationships

Relationships are easy until there is emotional turmoil. This is the same whether you are at work or in your personal life. When you can change the
interpretation in your mind of what you think you can change your emotions and shift the emotional quality of your relationships. When you can change
the emotions in your relationships you open up entirely new possibilities your life.

Having a clear understanding of your thought and, behaviour patterns helps you understand other people. This ability to empathize facilitates better
personal and professional relationships.

Develop Self Awareness

Self awareness is developed through practicing focusing your attention on the details of your personality and behaviour. It isn’t learned from reading a
book. When you read a book you are focusing your attention on the conceptual ideas in the book. With your attention in a book you are practicing not
paying attention to your own behaviour, emotions and personality.

Think of learning to be mindful and self aware as learning to dance. When learning to dance we have to pay attention to how and where our feet move, our
hands and body motion, what our partner is doing, music, beat, floor space, and other dancers. Self awareness isn’t learned from books and dancing isn’t
either.

If you have an emotional reaction of anger or frustration, you notice many of the thoughts and small triggers that build up towards those emotions. You also
notice moments when you can change the interpretations in your mind, or not believe what you are thinking. In this heightened awareness you instinctively
make better choices in your thought process long before an emotional reaction or destructive behaviour.

Making changes in your behaviour is much easier to do when you catch them early, before the momentum of thought and emotion has gathered steam. The
changes in your mind, and behaviour become simple and easy steps when you develop self-awareness.

Self-awareness relates to what you are not who you are. Understanding your true self is the key to unlocking your real potential. Keep an open mind
and try not to pre-judge the information until you have had a chance to verify it from other sources and work with it in your own life.

Science has proven that our world is composed of pure energy. This energy is intelligent and operates according to specific designs or patterns. Some designs
are fixed and remain constant while others are in a state of constant change. It is through our interaction with this energy that we gain control over our conditions
and results. Improved results are waiting and the ball is in your court.
