One quality that I think is SO incredibly important to have is self-awareness. Just being aware of the things we say, the things we do, how they affect people, how we feel, is so crucial when living a healthy life. If I lived my life in denial, I'd be struggling even more than I am. I am aware of the things I need to work on and aware when I say something wrong and I admit it to myself and to others.
Many people drift through life with absolutely no self-awareness. These people think they can do no wrong, think they always say the right thing and usually think that everything about themselves is perfect and doesn't need any improvement. Sometimes it's hard to admit that we need to work on a part of ourselves or need to make something better about ourselves. But it's so incredibly important to just admit it and try to do something about it. Take action.
This is coming up for me because there are a lot of things about myself I think I need to work on. For example, I lose my confidence way too easily. I take things people say to heart too often and I get nervous and uncomfortable way too often. I tend to be shy in certain situations and I am almost always putting other people's needs before my own. The important thing is that I've recognized these things about myself I'd like to change and I'm going to try and change them.
Not only is it important to be grateful for the things we have every day, but we should also do self reflection every day. I think we can all try to be better people on some level. That old saying is completely and 100% true: Nobody's perfect.
That's all I have for today. There are SO many things I could write about today and so many feelings/emotions going on but I think the one thing I can take from my day and share is how significant self-awareness is.
Lead with your heart. <3
