While all of the above is true, there are some individuals that do have a tendency to be more aware of things like food, exercise, or even how we feel. Many individuals may have an inclination to take these matters into their own hands, but they haven’t yet developed the kind of self-awareness that will allow them to take responsibility for their actions and their choices. Being aware of these aspects of our well-being can help you to make better choices in the future.
Having a better sense of your body’s needs, what you like or don’t like, what you like or don’t like, and the things that you like or don’t like can all be ways to self-awareness. What your body craves or you want to know is not something you can control.
The word “self-awareness” is one that sounds so simple, and yet it is a difficult concept to describe. There are so many different ways to use this word that make it so difficult to get your head around. Some people use it to mean “self-knowledge,” and that is a useful term, but that is not how I would use it.
Self-awareness is a way to describe the awareness we have of ourselves. To put it simply, it is awareness of our own emotions, thoughts, feelings, desires, and actions. To self-awareness, we are aware of the sensations and feelings in our body. To be self-aware, we are aware of our thoughts, feelings, and desires. To be self-aware, we are aware of our actions.
I used the term “up” rather than “self-aware” because I feel that the concept of “self-awareness” is a bit of a misnomer. While self-awareness is awareness of ourselves, it also means self-awareness of what we feel about ourselves. So, for example, if we feel sad, we are not “self-aware” of that sadness because we do not know that feeling.
When we feel sad or angry or happy, we are aware that is what we are feeling, but we do not know that, so we do not know the feeling of sadness, anger, or happiness.
Self-awareness and self-awareness of happiness and sadness are two different things. Self-awareness of one is the awareness that we feel something, while self-awareness of the other is the awareness that we feel we are not feeling something. In other words, self-awareness is how we know that we are feeling something, while self-awareness of something is how we know that we are not feeling something.
The only thing we do know for sure about ourselves is that we are not a part of someone else’s body. We are not a part of their thoughts, desires, or feelings, or even how other people feel. We are merely present-at-life, and present-at-life is awareness that we are there. We are aware of our presence, and that is the only thing we know for sure.
Our bodies are our most personal things; we are all the same in this regard. We are aware of our own bodies, and not just when we get out of bed in the morning. Every day, we are aware of our bodies, what they are thinking, the things we are doing, and even the things we are feeling. It is a natural thing to have an internal awareness of our bodies, and it is natural for our bodies to have an internal awareness about themselves.
