How Self-Awareness Can Change Your Experience

Hello friends,

Today I'd like to talk about assumptions and how they can backfire and create unnecessary chaos in our lives.

Assumptions are a part of human nature, yet they hold immense power over our decisions and outcomes. Today, let's delve into the impact of assumptions and how they can unexpectedly derail our plans. By recognizing the influence assumptions have on our lives, we can take proactive steps to challenge them and pave the way for more intentional, fulfilling experiences. Let's embrace a mindset of curiosity and open-mindedness to navigate through uncertainties with confidence and grace.

It's fascinating how common assumptions can subtly infiltrate our relationships, shaping our interactions and perceptions. From assuming our partner can read our minds to expecting them to fulfill certain roles without communication, these assumptions can create misunderstandings and frustrations. It's worth exploring how these assumptions develop and how we can foster open and honest communication to bridge the gap between expectation and reality in relationships.

Background

I'll give you common examples here of assumptions that backfire.

• In romantic partnerships, most arguments arise around three things - time, money, space. When a couple is in love with lots in common, and considering a long-term commitment, they may have overlooked the need to fully communicate their needs and preferences. Imagine they move in together and discover oppositional viewpoints. Over time, since everyone changes and evolves, the gap could become too large to sustain the relationship - and they separate.
• A common assumption in many kinds of relationships is to assume another person knows what you want or what you meant when you reacted to something. Without communication, even a 'mind reader' can't be sure of what you mean or why you didn't follow up when the person didn't show up at planned meeting or take care of an errand. The fallout potentials of these dynamics are numerous.
• We are conditioned from an early age to assume all kinds of things impossible to predict or know. Obvious examples include exactly when we will die, how happy we will be "x" person or "x" situation. Think for a moment about all the wasted time and energy people invest in assuming something impossible to predict.
• We are conditioned by ego to question realities and experiences of a spiritual nature. Example: you attend one of my guided global Zoom meditations, afterwards re-listening to the recording. You feel uplifted and calm afterwards, knowing you went deep and had some emotional releasing - yet your mind only recalls images that seemed nonsensical. Since you have been developing your self-awareness, you intuitively know that much more unfolded and transformation took place. Self-awareness is a developing skill. You will discover over time an expanded perception and appreciation of the mystical. As this occurs, your life will get Very Interesting!

I look forward to having your feedback on these ideas and how applying them begins to change your life for the better.
