Awareness Illuminates Stuckness
Awareness is essential in navigating internal conflicts, as it precedes the ability to exert control. Understanding one's own experiences of feeling stuck reveals that often individuals mistakenly seek external solutions for internal issues, such as loneliness, leading to further anxiety rather than relief. The true nature of willpower is more about monitoring these conflicts rather than overcoming them. When an individual struggles with willpower, they are actively engaged in managing their inner conflict. However, once they relinquish that struggle, the conflict fades, highlighting the importance of sustained awareness in maintaining the struggle necessary to foster willpower.
