Selfawareness is the first step towards change from "summary" of Gatilhos da Alma by Gustavo Ferreira
Selfawareness is the light that illuminates the darkest corners of our minds, revealing the hidden triggers that shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is the mirror that reflects our true selves, allowing us to see beyond the masks we wear to protect our vulnerabilities. Without selfawareness, we are like sailors adrift in a stormy sea, tossed about by the winds of external influences without a compass to guide us towards our desired destination. When we take the time to delve deep into our inner world, we begin to unravel the tangled web of beliefs, fears, and traumas that have been holding us back. We confront the demons that lurk in the shadows of our subconscious, acknowledging their existence and their power over us. This act of acknowledgment is the first step towards liberation, as it allows us to reclaim control over our thoughts and actions. Through selfawareness, we become conscious of the patterns that govern our lives – the recurring themes that play out in our relationships, our work, and our personal growth. We recognize the triggers that set off emotional reactions within us, causing us to lash out in anger, retreat into isolation, or engage in self-destructive behaviors. By shining a light on these triggers, we can begin to understand their origins and their impact on our well-being. As we deepen our selfawareness, we develop a sense of empathy towards ourselves, treating our inner wounds with compassion and understanding. We learn to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, releasing the burden of guilt and shame that have weighed us down for so long. This act of self-forgiveness opens the door to healing, allowing us to move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. Selfawareness is not a destination but a journey – a continual process of self-discovery and self-improvement. It requires courage, honesty, and humility to face our inner demons and embrace our true selves. But the rewards are immeasurable – a life lived with greater authenticity, fulfillment, and joy. So let us take the first step towards change by turning inward and embracing the power of selfawareness.
