Bring Awareness to your Habits
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
-James Baldwin
Taking a hard look at our current reality can be challenging, but also incredibly empowering. You are most likely looking for some positive change in your life because you are reading this. You are looking to live a life of deeper fulfillment while working towards your higher purpose.
The first step in accomplishing this is doing an honest assessment of where you are currently. When you take the time to understand yourself deeply, you take control over your life and can lead it in the exact direction you desire.
This exercise will challenge you to look at many different areas of your life, perhaps even areas that you didn't even realize you had 'habits' in. However, in many places in life, when we look at them a little closer, we will notice patterns. Negative patterns can usually be identified with "Why does this always happen to me?" "How come I never....?" "People always treat me..." Positive patterns can show up in the life long friends you have, your good health, or any other aspect of your life that generally goes well. Ultimately, patterns are habits you have that you are unaware of.
