May your actions arise from Self Awareness
May your actions arise not from habit or compulsion, but awareness. Lisa Olivera
How many of us do things unconsciously? Meaning, the action that we take seems to come without thinking, without maximum effort, almost naturally.
We wake up, we pick up our phone, we scroll
or we wake up, we pray
We get out of bed, brush our teeth, take a shower, and go through the day doing activities that come to us.
Now, when these actions are in our best interests we can rest assured that we are in good company however, when our unconscious daily activities does not serve us, this becomes a challenge.
What we do daily becomes our habits and reflects in our lives
Walking daily helps with fitness
Eating fried chicken daily helps with cholesterol
You must be catching my drift by now.
Being self aware can support you in determining what you do consciously or unconsciously . When we find ourselves obsessed with anything, in a type of mindless activity, this is a sure sign that there is room for more self-awareness in our lives.
Changing our habits takes patience, time, discipline and consistency. We must know that there is a habit that require some attention when the action no longer serves us
Stopping compulsive activity also takes a level of willingness and discipline as well - compulsion starts with habits. When they no longer serve us we must become self aware enough to recognise this and take action.
What are the actions in your life that arise from habits and obsession that no longer serve you?
Peace
