How Self-awareness Has Helped With My Negative Relationships
I recently started working on personal growth because I wasn't really happy. I read a lot about astrology for self awareness and started applying this principle in my daily life. Being self-aware is about paying attention to the things you think, do and say. It has really helped me with a number of things, including my negative relationships.I used to have relationships with a few co-workers and even with some friends that weren't always great. I would often find myself in a bad mood after talking to these people and would not look forward to seeing them. I used to think that these issues were caused by these specific friends and co-workers.
Some of my friends that I was wrong to consult an astrologer, but I looked deeper into it and in the past use of astrology world leaders even sought out this resource. Then I decided to have an astrology reading from a really good astrologer recommended by someone I respect and it opened my mind to so many reasons why I was attracting problems and negative relationships in my life. Practicing self-awareness has taught me to be more focused on my thoughts, my behaviors and my reactions. After a few weeks of practicing self-awareness, I found that the negativity I perceived in these relationships was in fact coming from me and not from my friends and co-workers.
Thanks to my astrologer who encouraged self-awareness, I was able to change my thought patterns. This is a process that took time and that required some hard work but I am really glad I went through it. I can now use these strategies to improve any bad situation I am in. I started using this strategy when I was around the friends or co-workers I didn't really care for. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of these relationships, I found myself looking for positive things to say during the conversations I had with these people. I used to resent some of my co-workers for being judgmental and for constantly talking about work-related issues that cause me stress. Self-awareness has helped me focus on more positive things when I am around these people and I can now stir the conversation in a direction that is less stressful.
I have also used self-awareness to change the way I interact with my friends. I had relationships that were occasionally negative with some of my friends because I overreacted to things they said. I am now more focused on my own feelings and reactions and can move the conversation towards a more positive topic when I feel that I might be overreacting to something.
Self-awareness has really helped me and I think it has improved the relationships I have with my friends and co-workers. I have really benefited from having an astrology world and individual reading, it awakened my to practicing self-awareness and I think everyone could benefit from using this approach.
