It can be tough to understand the abstract concept of Awareness. What does it even mean? You’re surely aware right now, so isn’t that enough? Well, real Awareness goes deeper than that.

Therefore, next time you’re replaying negative thoughts or limiting yourself, think about it this way, instead of taking it for good. Focus on your Awareness and zoom out from the vicious cycle of negativity.
