Your level of self-awareness affects how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you!

 Hi, I'm Myrna. Let me explain what I mean: 

See, self-awareness is about understanding both the visible and invisible aspects of ourselves and how it influences our behavior. 

Let's use the iceberg as an analogy. When you look at a large iceberg, often what is visible is only about 20% of the total iceberg. Between 75% - 80% of the iceberg is submerged.

Let's compare that with ourselves as people: 20% of what is visible to others about ourselves are our behaviors - the things we say and do. 

A staggering 80% of who we are and what drives our behavior are not visible to the naked eye.  It is not known to others, and if we are not self-aware, not even known to us!

Sobering Truth:

The 80% that is not visible to others, is often also not known to us but is the biggest influencers of our decisions, behaviors, and interactions.

Let me share a story:

Very early on in my career, I worked myself to a state of burnout. I worked 60 - 80 hour weeks. I was determined to "succeed" and work my way up the corporate ladder. 

This situation became so bad, that I ended up in hospital for about 3 weeks - lung infection and pneumonia!

Why did this happen? Only after deep introspection and self-reflection did I have some insights.

I understood Why:

• I was fearful that I was not good enough and that my efforts will not be noticed.
• Because I was rejected for my "dream job", I felt I had to prove myself.
• I had difficulty saying no and setting clear boundaries.
• I only felt excepted when I went beyond my call of duty.
• Perfectionism: I was never happy with my first, or even second try. Nothing was ever good enough for me.

Does some or all of my experience resonate with you?

Can you see or identify similar scenarios that play out in different areas of your life?

• Your Health.
• Your Friendships.
• Your Intimate Relationships.
• Your Job.
• Your Sense of Purpose

Are there behaviors in one or more of these areas of your life that may be sabotaging you? 

Behaviors that you know are holding you back or negatively influencing you but you just simply cannot help yourself and you do not understand why?

Dare to Dream ...

What would it be like for you when:

• You can get a deeper understanding of some of your behaviors?
• You can gain insight into the unseen things that drive your behaviors?
• You can stand in your power and make the decisions that are best for you AND those around you?
• You can empower yourself with the knowledge and tools that will transform every aspect of your life for the better.
• You can communicate and behave in a way that is in alignment with your thoughts, feelings, and intentions?

It is possible to transform your mindset, behaviors and develop your self-awareness!

Self-awareness affects every aspect of our lives.
