Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yo, what's up? Fam? Zaden cruz here, and let's be real,
this gen's got a serious case of what am I
even doing? Vibes. We scroll through endless feeds, chasing dopamine
hits like it's our job, which kinda is rip. But
let me tell you there's a whole other level to
being lit. It's called self awareness, and it's way more
than just knowing your astrological sign. We're talking about understanding
(00:23):
your thoughts, feelings, motivations, the whole damn package. Why Because
in this chaotic world, navigating your own inner landscape is
like leveling up your life, fam, And trust me, you
don't want to get stuck at level one. So buckle
up because we're diving deep into five simple ways to
crank up your self awareness. This ain't your grandma's meditation retreat, folks.
(00:45):
We're talking real life hacks you can actually use to
become a master of your own mind. First up, journaling. Yeah,
I know sounds lame, right, but hear me out. It's
like therapy, but way more affordable and less awkward. Just
grab notebook or the notes app if you're basic, and
let those thoughts flow freely. Don't censor yourself. Just write
(01:06):
down everything that pops into your head, even the weird stuff.
You'll be surprised what hidden gems you uncover about yourself.
Trust me, it's like unlocking a secret vault of your
own subconscious Next, mindful moments ever, feel like your brain
is on overdrive like a hamster running on a wheel.
Take a chill pill. Fam Practice mindfulness by simply focusing
(01:28):
on the present moment. Pay attention to your senses. What
do you see, hear, smell, taste and touch. Seriously, take
a break from that Netflix binge and just be. It's
like hitting the reset button on your mind, even if
it's just for five minutes. Then there's feedback. We all
crave validation, right, but real growth comes from getting honest
(01:48):
feedback from people who actually know us. Don't be afraid
to ask friends, family, or even that one awkward coworker
just kidding kinda for their perspective on your strengths and weaknesses. Remember,
constructive criticism ain't a diss it's a gift. Now, let's
talk emotional intelligence. This isn't about being a walking therapist,
(02:08):
but knowing how to manage your own emotions and understand
those of others. It's like having an emotional GPS that
helps you navigate social situations with grace and empathy. Think
of it this way. If you can read the room
and people's vibes better, you'll be less likely to end
up in awkward situations that feel straight out of a
cringe worthy meme. Finally, reflection, we gotta take time for ourselves.
(02:31):
Fam look back at your day, week, or even month.
What were your winds, your fails, what lessons did you learn?
Journaling can help with this too, but simply taking a
few minutes to think critically about your experiences is powerful.
It's like hitting the pause button and rewinding to see
how far you've come. Now for the real deal, let's
talk Beyonce. Queen Bay is literally self awareness personified. Think
(02:54):
about it. She's built an empire on authenticity, constantly evolving
and pushing boundaries. She ain't afraid to experiment with different styles, genres,
and even her own image. Talk about a vibe shift.
Beyonce's journey wasn't always sunshine and lemonade, though, Remember the
whole Bootylicious era that was pure self exploration and owning
(03:15):
her curves. Then there was the Lemonade visual album raw,
powerful and deeply personal. She channeled her own pain and
vulnerability into art that resonated with millions. Beyonce's a prime
example of how self awareness can lead to ultimate success.

owning your flaws, and constantly evolving. It's like leveling up
