Become AWARE of your thoughts, feelings, and actions

The human mind-body operating system embodies life experience 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 self-identity and storyline that we reflexively operate within, a brilliant design of evolution, that helps us unconsciously navigate familiar conditions.  Yet our minds also possess the amazing capacity to be self aware and self reflect, in other words to 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 venturing into the unfamiliar.

Shift out of the reactive state into self awareness by breathing slowly and deeply while noticing thoughts, feelings, and actions as they come and go, without judging.
