Exploring the Impact of Meditation and Self-awareness on Personal Growth
Self-awareness involves being conscious of the space between stimulus and response, understanding why actions are taken, and making intentional choices in the present moment. Many individuals feel like they are drifting through life because they grow up reacting to external influences without self-awareness, leading to autopilot behaviors. These reactive patterns become ingrained, and individuals mistake them for normalcy and their true selves, hindering personal growth. Increasing self-awareness allows individuals to realize that they have agency in shaping their lives and empowers them to make intentional choices, breaking free from reactive behaviors. Meditation plays a vital role in enhancing self-awareness and facilitating the shift in perspective from life happening to them to them happening to life.
