Become AWARE of your every thought, feeling, and action

The human mind-body operating system embodies life experience of by cross linking elements of thought, feeling, and action.  Awareness of how we operate is the doorway into understanding ourselves and relationships with others.  We unawarely took on a sense of self-identity and storyline that we reflexively operate within, a brilliant design of evolution, that helps us survive under familiar conditions.  Yet our minds also possess the amazing capacity to be self aware and self reflect, in other words observe the thoughts, feelings, and actions it is generating.  This provides us with abilities to adapt, adjust, or change how we operate, i.e. shift into new ways of thinking, feeling, and acting, when challenged by the unfamiliar.

Shift out of reflexively operating and drop into self awareness by breathing slowly and deeply while noticing thoughts, feelings, and actions as they come and go.
