2. 1: Self-Awareness
2.1. Floating the Boat or Sinking the Ship
A big part of self awareness is understanding how and why we react to situations and people. We all have things in our lives that either lift our spirits up or bring them down.
Sometimes when we start
focusing on the negative things in our lives we can neglect the things that
build us up. This is perhaps the exact opposite of what we should be doing.
Simply identifying and focusing on the things that build us up can often bring
us out of a downward spiral. Identifying the things that bring us down can also
be beneficial in the sense of ‘knowing our enemy.’ If you know what you’re up
against you are better equipped to either avoid or fight the things that would
make your life less enjoyable.
