The Practice Self-Awareness Leads to Self-Mastery

Once you understand the items in your psychology that can block personal growth, you can learn how to get past them.

 There are some tips for self-mastery to lead to self-actualization and a better mental state.

The Practice Self-Awareness Leads And Self-Mastery

 1 Accept Resistance

 Accepting resistance can bring positive change. It is easy to be down on ourselves and we tend to get in our way.

 Feeling guilt or even shave can delay progress and can actually reinforce bad habits.

 Self-acceptance and compassion are needed so we can move forward without being too judgmental or critical of ourselves.

 You need to change the way you look at your mistakes.

 To begin to do so check out the reading The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonical. This guide will help you learn resistance.

 2 Develop a Compelling Vision

 A clear vision will help with both growth and development. Without a vision will be aimless.

 You need to develop a vision that you want to work towards and something that will keep you inspired.

 3 Long Term Practice and Commitment

 A transformation will not happen in an instant. You need to practice it.

 No matter what you are working on, anything from developing communication skills to meditating your brain needs time to make new connections and will need repeated practice.

 The brain is a big muscle and it takes longer to make changes as a person ages. Repetition is needed on a daily basis.

 4 Expect Some Backsliding

 Even when you know this process there will still be some influences.

 Backsliding will happen along this road. If you know this it will not be able to discourage you.

 You need to learn to accept yourself and have some compassion so it will not stop the progress that you have been making.

 5 Moderation is Key

 We often allow excitement to take over our path. We see a change right outside our doors.

 In this time of excitement, we put a homeostatic response at a high alert.

 Self-mastery is not a fast thing, it will take time. In Qigong, you will learn that you need practice with over 70 percent of your mental access. If you put the strain on yourself, you are adding tension to your body including the nervous system.

 When the body operates at 70 percent you will be able to stay relaxed and avoid getting injured. This same thing applies to other areas of your development.

 6 Look at the Bright Side

 If you take yourself or your growth seriously than you will delay your effort.

 The primitive part of the brain will hold you back and ruin your efforts.

 Be light hearted in life. Take the time to have a good laugh. Have some fun and your efforts will be rewarded.

 7 Set Small Goals

 On the path to mastery, you will need to practice your skills without a specific goal in mind.

 While keeping this in mind you will remain focused and these smaller goals can help you keep track of your progress.

 Your attention should not be on just the main goals, these smaller goals can keep you focused.

8 Develop Physical Energy

 No matter what path you take, your physical energy will help handle stress, overcome resistance, and follow through with the process of self-awareness.

 Willpower is needed but when our energy runs low so does the willpower.

 If you begin your practice every morning you will be able to follow through after sleeping.

 After working all day our energy levels are low and practice can be a challenge.

 To increase physical energy, get a good night’s sleep, eat a balanced diet, exercise, have a proper posture, practice breathing, and try stretching to improve overall health.

 9 Honesty

 You need to be honest with yourself and others.

 Do not allow your ego to get larger and do not allow it to deflate either.

 It is important to be honest and keep our lives free from lies. Do not hold in your true feelings.

 In order to stay honest and true keep a journal. In this journal you can write your dreams, hopes, and any fears that you may have. You may keep the feelings in this journal you may not want to share with other people.

 Daily practice can be part of the ritual and keep you motivated.
