for being judgmental?” Oops. Yeah, it happens a lot. Most of us aren’t even
aware that we are projecting a lot of our shit onto other people. Why?
Because when we disown the parts we dislike about ourselves, it’s easier to
live with ourselves. But the easy path is the lazy path. Self growth isn’t always
flowers and rainbows, and nor does it need to be. The reality is that if we
want to become truly self-aware, we need to own our projections at some
point or another. By reclaiming and embracing the denied, suppressed, and
shunned aspects of ourselves, we feel more at peace with ourselves and
those around us. This, of course, requires radical self-honesty. Do you have
the guts to own your projections?
11. Read books, take tests, attend workshops
Self-awareness is a life-long process – there is no real ‘end’ point because
we are constantly morphing and evolving. It would be pretty boring if self-
awareness could be condensed into a five-day retreat! With this in mind, it’s
important to have fun on the journey. There are so many intriguing ways to
‘peel back the layers’ of your psyche. This entire website, for example, has
hundreds of articles which can help increase your self-awareness. I’ve also
designed a hell of a lot of free psychological and spiritual tests, which you can
find in our free tests section. So, in essence, have an insatiable thirst for self-
knowledge. Go out there and watch lectures, attend workshops, and gain new
skills. See life as a school and use every opportunity you can to increase your
self-awareness and self-acceptance – it’s such a beautiful way to live life!
