1: emphasizes the recognition of something sensed or felt
2: state of elementary or undifferentiated consciousness
If someone were to ask you, are you "aware", your answer would be "aware of what?". Your answer should have been, "yes", because your awareness should span anything and everything that you can witness or contemplate, and not just things you put your mind on. You should be as aware of everything you can at any given moment in time. Sounds stressful, doesn't it? Perhaps... at first at least.
Awareness: Being fully conscious of things around you. Neglecting nothing, registering in your brain an event or group of events and all the details you can.
Most people don't question their level of awareness and therefore don't seek to increase it or even analyze it, which is a sad thing considering it is one of the most forthcoming skills you can better yourself on. Not easy to change, but easy to identify and work on, unlike many other personality traits.
Okay, sounds great. How will this miracle trait help me?
Loved Ones
Being fully aware of your loved one's likes and dislikes aids you in avoiding things he or she dislikes, and doing things that he or she likes.
Being fully aware of your loved one's trials and triumphs gives you moments where you can utilize your knowledge of their likes and dislikes to uplift them, or celebrate them.
In return, you will gain insight into who it is that you love... you will understand and in fact know them. This will make you a very loved person, since people seek to be understood and empathized with. In other words, knowing someone's likes, dislikes, experiences and feelings allows you to empathize with them, and as a result, love them. The more you understand, the more love they will feel, and love you back as a result.
On another note, being fully aware of your loved one's actions will also give you insight into how much they care about you. Observing their body language, tones, words and actions (what they do or say, but more importantly what they don't do or say) will provide you with all you need to feel secure, or anticipate betrayal.
To learn everything you can about your loved one, you must be observant, which is a large component of being aware. Observe your loved one with as little bias as possible to learn all you can, and then apply it.
That Special Someone
Nothing impresses a date more than the intelligent awareness of the person they are with. Men can only love women they respect, and women can only trust men they respect.
An aware man is almost all a woman needs. A man that can understand her needs and act on them is irreplaceable. Knowing there is electrical energy soaring through the man's mind at any given moment makes his eyes seem godsend, omnipresent, and entirely gazable.
An aware woman is sexy, plain and simple. Sure, insecure men will be intimidated, but real men will recognize this rarity and want more. An aware woman will take good care of you and know exactly what you need at exactly the right time.
You will notice that this is highly recognizable in the embryo stages of any courtship, but as time progresses this level of awareness tends to drop. Why? Well, because you move from "That Special Someone" to "Loved One". If you master this section, you can only court. Don't expect a relationship because then you'll to master the previous section as well.
Work
Office, business, or entertainment jobs all share the same overall job description: You are working for someone that wants results, and the quicker you get them the more valuable you will be to that person, and as a result make more money and be happier.
If you work in an office, that someone is your boss. If you work for yourself, that someone is your customer. Your boss's boss is also a customer. Hence, it all comes down to customers. Everybody wants it now, everybody wants it the cheapest, and everybody wants it the best. Your best friend, in any business, is therefore, efficiency. But to make it, you have to be more efficient than your competitor, which means you have to know and do things that other people do not.
Enter awareness (read the definition for re-reference) and all the glory it holds. You begin your job, and are fully aware. You observe all the mistakes your coworkers are making. You observe all the mistakes your boss is making. You hear and absorb all the gossip there is. You hear about opportunities. You read notes on your desk, you read into the words at the big boss's speech, you steal ideas from the careless words of competitors at a bar...
You go home, and while you sleep your mind puts ALL this information into a blender and starts to mix it all up, spewing out conclusions that are used as premises for even bigger conclusions. And then, when you wake up, you have a path, and clear aware sight of how to walk that path.
Which ALL equals money, money, money.
Self-Evolution
The level by which you evolve and improve yourself as a human being (and hence become more intelligent) is directly related to your level of awareness. Nothing else matters.
Anything new you want to learn will be learnt faster if your mind absorbs tricks and tactics and information quickly.
Have bad habits? Well, being aware of them prevents you from doing them... at least by mistake. If you want to lose weight slowly and therefore want to use the stairs all the time, you WILL always use the stairs if by the time you walk to the elevator something in you clicks and reminds you.
Don't have any bad habits? Yeah, right. Being aware will remedy this self-deluded notion and point out the many bad habits that you DO in fact have.
Wit, often characterized in a good sense of humour is the result of awareness. Observing life and commenting on it is a popular form of comedy nowadays. You need to be aware to catch these humanistic quirks, and you need to be aware to know when to comment on them, so that it is funny.
How to improve awareness?
For your convenience, here is a 3 step system:
1. Slow it down.
2. Dig.
3. Rest when you sleep, aware when you wake.
Slow it down: Stop your immediate reactions to anything in your life. Imagine looking through your life in slow motion, except your thoughts are full speed. When someone says something, you stop, and inhale it as deeply as you can. You not only observe it, you register and acknowledge consciously at that very moment that you have indeed observed it.
Dig: Once slowed and inhaled, take this event and think about it. Dig through it like there's no tomorrow. Apply all you know to it so that you may analyze it as much as possible. If someone asks you if you want coffee, don't say yes, even if you want a cup. Stop, think, and examine everything there is to know about drinking coffee, as well as accepting an offer from this person.
Rest when you sleep, aware when you wake: Don't ever let your efforts fizzle. It is tiring, and hard, and difficult to constantly analyze everything you can, but it is worth the effort. It will get easier with time, as much of your conscious efforts will eventually be assumed by your subconscious mind and nervous system. In other words, it will become habitual to analyze things to their fullest, and you won't even have to make the effort. Sleeping is the ultimate peace, where you rest and your conscious mind takes a breather. That is what it is for, which means that your awakened moments are for exactly the opposite: To push your conscious mind to the limits it can go, and work it so vigorously that it appreciates the sleep it gets. |
