Is it hard for you to be positively aware of yourself?
Take the following actions to be more positively self-aware:
1. Be more curious about everything in your world.
Read books, listen to audio books. Go to seminars and lectures. Seek out and gain counsel from the most successful people in your profession and hobbies.
2. Look at yourself through other people's eyes
Imagine being your parents. Imagine being that person married to you. Imagine being your child.
3. Take 30 precious minutes each day for you alone
Relax and breathe deeply from the pelvis and stomach up into your lungs when you inhale. Exhale slowly. Meditate and let go
4. Be emphatic
Learn to feel how others feel and consider where they are coming from before criticizing or passing judgement.
5. Look for the truth and speak the truth
When you read something that impresses you, check the source. View everything with a certain open-minded skepticism.
