Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, they're amazing humans. Welcome back to Builder stoic R,
your daily dose of strength, resilience, and balance, brought to
you by yours truly, Madison Lane. Today we're diving into
a superpower that often gets overlooked, self awareness. Think of
it like this, with that self awareness, or kind of
like a ship sailing blindly through the ocean. You might

(00:21):
catch some lucky waves, but chances are you'll end up
lost at sea. Now I know what you're thinking, self awareness.
Isn't that just another fancy word for knowing yourself? Well,
let me tell you it's so much more than that.
It's about actively tuning into your thoughts, feelings, and physical
sensations throughout the day. It's about understanding your triggers, your strengths,

(00:43):
and even your weaknesses. And guess what, the more alway
you are, the better. A crypture to navigate lights ups
and downs with gray SunPower. So how do we unlock
this incredible superpower? Here are five key takeaways that will
help you on your journey. First, practice mindfulness. Ever, feel
like your mind is a runaway train, constantly racing from

(01:04):
one thought to the next. Mindfulness is all about bringing
your attention back to the present moment. Take a few
deep breaths, really focus on the sensation of your breath
entering and leaving your body. When you catch yourself drifting
in to worry or daydreaming, gently guide your attention back
to the now. It's like hitting the pause button on
your mental chaos mix up. Keep a journal. This isn't

(01:26):
just for poets and aspiring novelists. A journal can be
your best friend in self discovery. Weight down your thoughts, feelings, experiences,
anything that comes to mind. Don't censure yourself, just let
it all flow onto the page. You might notice patterns
in your thinking, identify triggers for stress or anxiety, or
even uncover hidden desires and dreams. Now here's a real

(01:49):
game changer. Seek Honnus feedback. We often get stuck in
our own heads, creating an echo chamber of opinions and beliefs,
but stepping outside that bubble can be incredibly valuable. Talk
to trusted friends, family members, and mentors who know you well.
Ask them for their honest perspectives on your strengths, weaknesses,
and areas for growth. Remember, true friends want to help

(02:12):
you become the best version of yourself. Listen to your body.
It's not just a vehicle, it's an incredible source of information.
Pay attention to how different foods make you feel, what
activities energize you, and when you need to rest. Learning
to listen to your body's cues is crucial for self
awareness and overall well being. Finally, practice empathy. Stepping into

(02:34):
someone else's shoes can be a powerful way to deepen
your understanding of yourself. Try to see things from different perspectives,
consider their experiences and emotion, and cultivate compassion. You might
be surprised by how much this practice enriches your own
self awareness journey. Okay, let's bring it home with the
real world example. Imagine you're in a meeting and someone

(02:56):
throws out an idea that seems completely ridiculous to you.
You feel a surge of irritation, and before you know it,
you're in Our critic is going off on a rent.
Behold on. Instead of letting those feelings take over, take
a moment to pause and ask yourself, why am I
reacting this way? Are you feeling threatened? Insecure? Maybe the
person simply has a different perspective. By acknowledging these emotions

(03:20):
and understanding their root cause, you can choose a more
thoughtful and constructive response. See how self awareness can turn
a potentially stressful situation into an opportunity for growth. So
there you have it. Five powerful takeaways to help you
unlock the power of self awareness. Remember this isn't about
achieving perfection. It's about making conscious choices every day to

(03:40):
be more present, where and in control of your own
well being. Ready to level up? I challenge you to
pick one of these strategies and put it into practice today.
