Conscious situational awareness Recently, I have been exploring practical mindfulness not to create change – but simply for situational awareness. That is in-the-now conscious awareness. True conscious awareness involves recognition of what’s going on inside of myself. Since I’m the only one inside of my head, heart, and soul, I alone can employ this. Where does mindfulness come from? Mindfulness comes from my sensory input combined with my thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions. That makes me consciously aware – here and now, in this present moment – of my mindset/headspace/psyche self. That conscious awareness extends further inwards to my subconscious mind and my beliefs, values, and habits. Together, they help me to recognize my ego – which is who, what, and how I believe myself to be and then project to the world at large. Situational awareness is a regular necessity The important thing to note here is that practicing mindfulness is not one-and-done. It’s ongoing. Because it is utterly rooted in the moment. The now. And it only works at the time of its application. By regularly using practical mindfulness, I know myself at the moment of its employment. And that empowers me to make choices for my health, wellness, and wellbeing. Via mindfulness, I gain conscious awareness of everything that impacts my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. And from there – I see how to find and/or create ways to push through whatever my day might hold. For your practical mindfulness Take a moment at least once a day to ask these questions aloud · What am I thinking? · What am I feeling? · How am I feeling? · What am I doing and what’s my intention behind it? https://mjblehart.com (My website) https://www.amazon.com/MJ-Blehart/e/B00BKITBKQ (My Amazon Author Page) author@mjblehart.com https://www.instagram.com/mjblehart/ https://twitter.com/MJBlehart https://www.facebook.com/blehartmj/ mjblehart.medium.com Cover artist Fe Mahoney: veinsofink2017@gmail.com and https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaliasInspirations Learn more about your ad choices.
