In my therapy group mindfulness exercises, I often suggest that people breathe in gratitude, acceptance, unconditional self love, and awareness.
For me, awareness includes understanding and letting go of old, outdated, and unhelpful beliefs — for example, if I put myself out there, something terrible will happen. My awareness tells me that old belief is born from an awareness of superstitious fears in my family as well as terrible things happening (including scary heart problems and painful hospitalizations and operations) when I was just starting to put myself out there as a child.
People who regularly read this blog may have an awareness that I will be putting myself out there in a matter of weeks in a concert/album taping of my original songs. My awareness tells me that something terrible might happen but good things are more likely.
Do you see awareness in my images for today?
