lack of awareness it'll keep you in the dark not truly seeing yourself or knowing yourself or understanding yourself so I think about the people that we know and we all know them they're like the most negative people we've ever met in our lives and they have no idea they are like if you were to tell them that they're very negative they would be like me

And so that's what I mean, like so unaware of the way in which they see the world and the way in which they show up that they can't other people see them in a completely different light. So spirituality then. The let, the surrender, the going within, the starting to meditate, being out in nature, things like that, you know, not so focused and busy all the time. It let me calm down.

It let the ego start to move to the side. It let me start to be an observer. So many people are so busy in life. In life, living life, doing life, they're in the busyness, the go, go, go, go, go. They leave absolutely no time to observe themselves and to observe the world around them, observe without judgment. So that's the other piece is we also observe, then we judge.

So we're like, oh, I just realized I'm a negative person. Oh, that's horrible. And then you feel bad about yourself. So I always say, observe without judgment. So I started to just observe my thinking. I started to observe my habits. I started to observe people's reactions to me every day. I started to observe the world outside of me. And so when I just started to watch it,

So I started to just observe my thinking. I started to observe my habits. I started to observe people's reactions to me every day. I started to observe the world outside of me. And so when I just started to watch it,

And just pay attention to it. And even journal it. I started to journal some of my thoughts, things like that. That's when I started to become aware. You know, you had talked about thoughts and negative thoughts. So I did not know how nasty I was to myself until I started this observation. I started to observe my own thoughts. And so I thought, okay, let's get in front of the mirror here.

So after I'd get out of the shower naked standing in front of the mirror, I started to notice what I was noticing. And I started to hear it. And I'm like, oh my gosh. I was saying the most nastiest things to myself in front of that mirror. And it was like, now I get it. That was happening always. I was just unaware. And if you're unaware, you can't change it.

So being the observer is always the first step. It's always asking the questions. I always give my students... tons and tons and tons of questions to ask yourself. We do interviews all the time. You and I, we're doing one right now. And we ask each other questions. We go out on dates. We ask each other questions. But when are you asking yourself these deep questions?

So I'm very inquisitive with myself now. I'm like, oh, why did you think that right now? Or like, oh, why did you just do that? Or like, huh, what was the pattern or the habit that caused you to behave in this way right now? Why are you really triggered by this guy in this moment? And that observation and inquisitiveness, curiosity, it opens the door. But I want to say one other thing, Ryan.

I am all about beliefs. And I believe that whatever I believe to be true will be my truth. And so as I started down this journey, I thought, what is the best belief for me to have about self-awareness? And so now you'll see me say this anywhere. If you watch any of my podcast interviews or anything, I will say I'm the most self-aware woman you'll ever meet. Never used to be.

But I told myself to believe that. And now it's truth.
