Let me educate you through my average sized brain.Now I don't know what the technical defination of self awareness is.I can tell you this only as a self awared person myself that being self aware is knowing who you are and who you aren't.What you can do and what you can't.Believe me every definition roughly translates to this.Why am I talking about this today.Why am I writing this here.What's the point.It's because this is one thing teenagers need to know and realize.In today's life being a teenager is not easy.You have to live up to the expectations of your parents and most importantly your tik tok followers.I'm kidding.If you're self aware you won't be on tik tok.The stress of career can't be explained in this blog.I remember as a teenager how me and my friends used to worry about our careers.We thought that we would end up poor,single and foodless.
But all thanks to god we all share a 1 bedroom apartment with one toilet,one fan,mockery of a kitchen and the best thing is that we get one full hour of water supply in the whole day.So clearly things worked out for us.As I was saying that career is the thing that really affects a teenager's mind.In this situation it's very easy to lose your identity.And teenage years are really important for one to build his or her personality.Being self aware in this situation really helps.If you know
your faults and your good qualities you would be able to get a good hold of your personality and then you can work on it.This only happens when you know yourself well enough to make a change.Remember this statement.This comes when you are god damned awared about every aspect of what you call YOU.
Believe me when you know what you are you would be able to make decisions with your life without anyone interfering.And the earlier it happens the better it is.That's why it's so important as a teenager to realize yourself.Who you are and what you can do.I'm not saying that all your decisions would work out but the fact that you made them is what matters the most.You knew that it was meant for you to do so and you made that call.Another thing that I felt as a Teenager is shyness.The cute name I gave to my low self esteem and introvertedness.It's basically a result of low self confidence or none at all.I used to feel left out in public gatherings.I believed that anything that would come out of me would just lead to chaos and I would be blamed.The only reason behind this is because I had a superficial sense of who I was.Now that life has stroked me hard I finally decided to work on myself.I've realized that maybe if I would have said to my father that I don't want to pursue engineering because I don't like it and if I would have told my crush how I felt about her,Life could've been better.That's why being self aware is important.Again when you start to get the idea of your capabilities you Start to feel more confident,more excited,more curious and most importantly more YOU.This fundamental decides your fate which basically decides your journey of life.It decides your strength of making a decision of your life which is so much important in today's fast paced life.And most importantly when you are what you intend to be,you actually stop living a lie and start living a life which you dream for yourself.
Now how does one achieve this state of self awareness.It's simple actually.You've heard of nirmal baba right.There are a lot of his recitals on this concept on YouTube.
Now if you want to get a good hold of yourself,I'll definately don't recommend watching those.It's a collosal waste of time,money and your precious brain cells.
It begins with a realization that you exist as a fellow member of this society.How do you view yourself at that point of time.Are you happy with yourself.What I mean by this is simple.Are you happy with your personality?If no,what's the thing that's bugging your personality.What changes would you like to see in yourself as a person.Realize that and work towards it.
If yes,Why in the good god's name are you reading this.You're already happy.Go enjoy your life.This post is for depressed teenagers.Just kidding.Its for teenagers who are looking to be successful as an engineer.Yeah I just said that.I'm enough self awared to realize that was a joke and not a fact.
This is the only way I know.I'm pretty sure there is much more inside it but this is the crux of how you can be self awared about yourself.
Also meditation and yoga helps.At least my imaginary girlfriend thinks so.So this is all I have to say about self awareness.
A little thing that I want to add is that being self aware should not be confused with doing whatever the hell you think is right for your joy.Just because you're good at lip synching songs on tik tok doesn't actually mean that you can be a famous pop star.I tried,I failed and now I'm going to pursue engineering where it's clear that I'm going to die a virgin.So it's always good to rationalize and make wise decisions.This power comes automatically when you are self aware enough.So be wise and try to get a hold of your identity.
Thank you and have a nice day.
