Cultivate Awareness

All my clients know this. After 2-3 sessions, they started to tell me, “Now I’m more aware of how my voice changes in different situations; more aware of how I breathe and more aware of how I use the breath in voice projection.” I smiled back, “You got the key in the first place.”

All improvement starts from awareness. Most of us live our life from unconscious habits. When all our behaviors remain unconscious, we are slave to them, let alone improve them.

All great minds know this:

Lao Tzu – The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.

Stephen Covey – Every human has four endowments – self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.

The good news is, awareness can be cultivated. When you pause and ask yourself, “What am I doing?” or “Why am I doing it?” You open doors to self-awareness, thus “the power to choose, to respond, to change”.

I’m recently cultivating my awareness on anticipating possible problems before I act so I won’t burn my fingers while reaching out to the freshly served hot pot or jumping into the swimming pool without knowing how deep it is, ever again! 😉

What awareness will you cultivate?
