3 Ways To Increase Your Self-Awareness & Truly Know Yourself

Am I self-aware? If you want to know if you truly know yourself, this video is for you.
A video about how to be self-aware, truly get to know who you are and develop unconditional self-love.
I have been on a self-development journey and during this time I've discovered about myself I never knew before. I used to think I knew who I was based on my interests and personality type, but I'd never taken the time to really discover the person I was outside of these external factors.
I wanted to share the 3 factors that have helped me to develop self-awareness and accumulate real self-knowledge.
Self-awareness isn't about self-criticism but discovering aspects about ourselves we never knew before, enabling us to learn and grow and develop unconditional self-love for who we really are.
I hope you find this video helpful and thought-provoking. Slightly more philosophical but I wanted to share my experience on this topic and why we need more introspection.

Wishing you a happy and peaceful day wherever you are!

Do you think most of us are self-aware? Let me know your thoughts!☺️✨

Nope. I hate to admit it, but I'm not either quite often.

No, I believe most people may be self absorbed, but not self aware.

@Transamandy Ай бұрын

Yea but….As people we only can be at the level of self awareness according to our life experience and what we choose to learn and believe this is why it’s so important to be able to find new perspectives on things and expand our world view…..it was once said..in order to change the world we must first start by changing ourselves

I wish to mention something here important to acknowledge coming from the third world. We should acknowledge our blessings of material wealth as many in our world struggle moment by moment just to get to the next meal. May we be ever mindful of them.

Holly, we are indeed strangers in our own bodies, going through life like zombies! Dark is the night and our souls are asleep. Awake oh sleeper, arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you! I love your profound thoughts and it takes much reflection to return equal value. Suffice it to know that your words here this day will go on echoing beyond your life. Your careful thoughts will spread forth bringing light and healing in its path. Please know these words help me and I believe others will be affected in time as well, so thank you for creating them!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic and for the very apt analogies! I do agree it is like an "awakening" almost when you delve deeper and discover aspects about yourself you never knew before. This is why I find feedback from others particularly useful as we're often oblivious how we're perceived from an outside perspective and I find this helpful to know for areas to improve and reflect on! 😊 Really glad you enjoyed this one! A bit more deep and philosophical but I enjoy discussing these type of topics! ☺

I think it is great that you are thinking and talking about this Holly... there is a step you mention that I have always struggled with, so it's nice to hear a fresh insight on it and your video is helpful... watching this reminded me of some wise words I was once told, which is a way to know thy self through being an observer of everything, most importantly being an observer of our own thoughts, then a shift of awareness can occur from being a thinking being to a conscious being, I know the theory, but in practice it's not that easy... lol 😀

@lagomholly Ай бұрын

Thank you for sharing this, I completely agree that the act of observing our thoughts is a lot easier said than done! I struggled with this at first a lot! It's a skill that takes time and practise to strengthen though and with persistence it does become easier to simply observe our thoughts and not allow them to dictate 😊 In the meantime don't be too hard on yourself, it's a lifelong journey I believe ☺

I absolutely love this video Holly :-) so deep, but in a good way, I may have to rewatch this a couple times to truly take it all in. I journal almost every day and have been for years, like I'm documenting my own life, I have spent hours writing sometimes, especially when I'm going through something difficult that I don't understand. It helps me to know myself better and brings clarity to my thoughts, it's my own form of therapy in a sense. By the way, you are a beautiful painter! A woman of many talents :-)

@lagomholly Ай бұрын

Thank you for sharing this Stephen! It was a little deeper but I do enjoy getting philosophical from time to time and I think it's an important topic 😊 I love that, journalling has almost a cathartic feel to it and being able to look back at your past experiences/thoughts will (I hope) give you courage and pride to realise how far you've come and there are always brighter days ahead ☺ Wishing you the best! ✨

@lagomholly Thanks so much Holly :-) this is what I love about you, you have so much depth to you, it really is a beautiful thing to see in a world where so much shallowness is promoted. It reflects through your videos like a painting with many layers. Thank you for sharing your beautiful wisdom with me Holly, wishing you the best too :-)

Very thought provoking as always...I journal and meditate as often as I feel the need, but ensure at least twice a week in order to learn and reflect 😊

I’m in the middle of introspection and self-awareness assessment. I’m looking at all aspects of my life. What I truly treasure and what no longer serves me. Thank you, Holly for a great video and a reminder of how important we humans are as a total package.

I like when you said that we as the author (or our own stories) have the opportunity to rewrite it. It's important to realize towards the direction we want to go in, even if everything seems like everything is out of control. This video was great to watch. I lost myself in it, with all the wonderful visuals, Holly.

Very nice video, Holly! Actually, I'd love to know myself! lol ... I just know that I loved my today's tea, it just tasted somehow exceptional; much better than on most days. Have a nice day and enjoy the weekend! Greetings to the UK! (Btw. In the Matrix movies, there was "Know Thyself" in the Oracle's kitchen)
