Tip of the Day: Self-Awareness

Another week, another fresh start, and yet another delightfully unapologetic post – this time on self-awareness.

Here’s a short list of self-scorching habits you might want to take heed of if you wish to navigate safely to the shore of the weekend.

• We overthink.
• We don’t give it enough thought.
• We say yes when we mean no.
• We say no when we’re afraid of saying yes.
• We apologize too much.
• We don’t apologize when we should.
• We overexplain things.
• We don’t give enough explanation.
• We pretend to care.
• We pretend not to care.
• We try to fix things we didn’t break.
• We ignore the things we broke.
• We solve other people’s problems.
• We postpone dealing with our problems indefinitely.
• We hope people will change.
• We hope change will not come for us.
• We take responsibility for external circumstances.
• We don’t take responsibility for our actions and behaviors.
• We rationalize when people treat us poorly.
• We take for granted people’s kindness.
• We have no boundaries.
• We have walls around us.
• We think we’re too much.
• We think we’re not enough.
• We stay when we’re not wanted.
• We leave because we’re afraid people won’t want us.
• We are who we think the world wants us to be.
• We are everyone except who we really are.

And that pretty much sums it up. Does it, though?
