SELF-AWARENESS

"The e-book call "SELF-AWARENESS" is written by Shwin J Brad & Aesha Shah. THE GOAL OF SELF-AWARENESS IS SELF-ACCEPTANCE: There's a certain type of person who will read all this and think about it and recognize their shitty emotions and recognize their shitty thought patterns and recognize all the little selfish tricks and traps their mind places and do all the work and practice the self-discovery and open themselves to their emotions and their big takeaway from all this will be: "I'm a piece of shit." They will see all their internal flaws, and come to understand their biases and irrational mechanisms, and they will get a handle on their distractions and their weak emotions. And they will hate it. All of it. It will cause them to hate themselves. Obviously, walking around and calling yourself a piece of shit for every other thought or emotion you have is not exactly what we would call the zenith of emotional health. In fact, this tendency is, ironically, downright shitty itself. Judging yourself for mismanaging your emotions or for having biased and selfish thoughts is a bit of a trap because when you make that judgment, it feels like you're being self-aware. You're thinking to yourself, "Wow, I was really kind of a dick at that meeting because my ego was threatened. I'm such a piece of shit." And there's a little round of applause that goes off in your head because you feel like such a goddamn saint for recognizing how flawed and shitty you are around others. But no, that's not the point. Self-awareness is wasted if it does not result in self-acceptance. The research bears this out, too: self-awareness doesn't make everyone happier, it makes some people more miserable. Because if great self-awareness is coupled with self-judgment, then you're merely becoming more aware of all the ways you deserve to be judged." It is inspiring, uplifting and Motivative."
