I used to think “working on self” “self-awareness” was rubbish + useless. Little did I know it would completely liberate me/give me more confidence + freedom to see things for what they are, take accountability for self + respond to situations with more integrity + clarity. ..

Noticing when I/others are reading or hearing what they want to as opposed to the clear message being presented. This can often lead to confusion, misunderstanding, frustrations, upset etc. But it can be avoided with clear and intentional and honest communication + listening....
You’ll end up offending yourself and others more by not expressing your thoughts and feelings honestly at the time. It’s more likely to blow-up if you try to brush it under the carpet which is likely to fuel conscious/subconscious resentment...
We’re taught a lot about how we should behave and often this is more about performative actions and bringing our most palatable self forwards as opposed to our true selves forward which would lead to more genuine rapport and relationship building.
Has anyone else who is reading this experienced anything similar and would you be willing to share your experiences?
