The fact is that most of us are self-aware. We know ourselves, know our own thoughts, actions, and reactions that affect our lives. Because we’re so self-aware, we’ve learned to keep it all in the front of our mind.
If we want to do something, we usually do something because we know we should. But we have a hard time being aware of the parts of our lives that affect us the most. This is because we live pretty much on autopilot – we don’t think about, we don’t feel, we don’t care about anything but our next move.
So to become aware of our own thoughts and actions, we need to keep them in the forefront of our minds. For this to happen, we need to stop living almost completely in the present. We need to get out of our head. A good way of doing this is to take a few steps.
We need to be aware of our everyday habits, routines, impulses, and reactions. In our lives we tend to act on autopilot. When we get out of our heads, we can then become more aware of the ways that our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions affect our lives. Let’s take a look at an example.
We all use the same bathroom. It is a place where you need to go to take care of your body, and if you forget to flush, you end up with an overfull toilet. Most people also use the same sink. The sink is the location where you put your dishes and you don’t want to be using the same sink as everybody else. You also need to go to the kitchen to wash your hands.
Then again I can see how it’s possible if we have an active habit like this, but it is possible if we have no habits. We all have habits that we follow. Some of us are more aware of them, and others are just more habituated. For example, you need to take your dog to the bathroom often. You need to keep a journal of your habits, and you need to wash the dishes.
The same goes for us. We need to put our dishes in the sink, we need to wash our hands, we need to go to the kitchen to put away our food.
When we do that, we have a few things to show off (like a costume or something). When we’re not there, we can just go. We can go through life by ourselves and it’s not hard to become a successful “self-professed” person in a way that’s good or bad.
To be honest, we don’t really do much when we don’t have something to say. Like the dog in the bathroom, we don’t really have much to say when we don’t have anything to say. We’re always going to be talking to ourselves and we do that so that we can tell the world that we’re awesome.
