Advance Your Success with the Power of Awareness

Awareness Is A Skill!

Like any skill, awareness can be perfected with practice. The more you cultivate awareness, the more you increase your ability to achieve success.

So, what are you aware of in this moment?

The chair beneath you? Is it soft, hard, comfy?

The soft hum of the A/C? Now that you are aware of it, is it annoying or rather soothing?

The sunlight streaming through the window? Is it happy-making? Or so bright that you need sunglasses?

Maybe it’s a combination of things. Every one of these details, when noticed, deepens your connection to the present moment.

Awareness is about being fully present

And, it starts with listening and observing. Here are some simple practices to expand your awareness:

1. Become a better listener. The next time you’re in a conversation, try something radical: stop talking! Most of us are guilty of thinking about what we want to say next rather than truly hearing the other person. Instead, notice how they communicate. Do they focus on what they want or what they don’t want? Are they very animated when they talk?? Do they use certain words over and over? Your awareness here will guide you toward more intentional responses.
2. Expand your reading horizons. Make it a habit to explore different publications, blogs, or articles. Notice what grabs your attention. Why does a particular story or argument resonate—or provoke discomfort or alignment with the opinions expressed? This is your awareness in action.
3. Challenge your thinking. Forming your own opinions is key to sharpening your awareness. You don’t have to agree with everything you read or hear. In fact, when you disagree with an author, newscaster, or speaker, your awareness grows stronger, helping you better understand where you stand.
4. Disconnect once a week. Turn off the news, social media, and endless notifications, and step into nature. Whether it’s a walk on the beach or a hike through the woods, let the sounds, smells, and sights around you fill the space once occupied by constant chatter.

Awareness encompasses everything

Awareness encompasses everything—your thoughts, actions, and experiences, as well as those things you haven’t yet explored. The deeper your awareness, the more you uncover hidden potential that can transform your life and business.

Through the conscious development of awareness, you will notice a greater understanding of yourself—leading to deeper insights, smarter decisions, and ultimately, more success. Awareness is a skill—and like any skill, it can be perfected with practice. The more you cultivate awareness, the more you increase your ability to achieve success.
