ADVICE

Self-Awareness Through System Thinking

Differentiate between your initial reactions (system one) and more thoughtful responses (system two).
This is the first step towards greater self-awareness, according to Jay Shetty.

INSIGHT

Noise vs. Inner Voice

External noise, like expectations from others, can drown out your inner voice and hinder self-awareness.
Changing your social circle can help reduce this noise and clarify your thoughts.

ADVICE

Identifying Limiting Beliefs

To identify limiting beliefs, ask yourself key questions about your worldview, like "Do you live in a hostile or friendly universe?".
These questions can reveal your frame of reference and uncover hidden assumptions.
