On Cultivating Self Awareness…

Through Desire and Radical Self-Honesty

{April 19, 2022}

- 2 Ideas from me -

“The impetus of change is desire. You cannot create change without first wanting something different. That’s not say what you have/where you are isn’t enough, it’s just that there is more out there for you to grow into and experience.”

“Radical transparency and honesty with yourself lifts the veil and allows for a clear and objective perspective. Take the time to look around you (i.e., gain awareness) by being totally honest about what you see within and out.”

- 2 Coaching Questions -

  • What areas in my life do I desire change? What can be improved upon?

Coach nudge: Try not to dive into the “Why?” just yet. Right now, we’re simply in the awareness stage. Curiosity’s place is in the reflection stage.

  • Placing any need for justification or praise aside, what do I need to be honest with myself about? How I speak? Where I put my attention on?

- 2 Affirmations -

  • I desire to change because I desire to grow into the best version of myself.

  • By being honest with myself, I’m building trust with myself.
