Without it, we could go years thinking we’re on track, only to realize we spend all that time moving in the wrong direction.
How to build self-awareness?
Well, let’s not complicate this—you simply have to spend time turning your awareness onto your self.
A good way to guide this practice is to work your way through some tough, meaningful questions. Some of which might include:
- What are my most important priorities? Is how I’m spending my time reflective of what’s most/least important to me? Where am I spending too much/not enough time?
- Am I enjoying the work that I’m doing? Or am I using work as a means to get to an end? How can I focus more on the means and less on the ends?
- How can I simplify my life? How can I add more meaning to my life? How can I accelerate my personal growth? How can I remove desire and add presence?
A few minutes per day sure beats losing a few years in the wrong direction.
