I was recently honored by an individual to be a “Guest Speaker” at the 2017 PEN World Voices festival in London. I’ve written about self-awareness and awareness of one’s limitations and disabilities, the concept of the personal self-portrait, and how to be more attuned to the self. I also interviewed author-turned-co-founder of the National Disability Rights Network, Larry Indian Wells, on the topic of self-awareness.
Larry Indian Wells is an attorney and activist who writes about the topic. He tells us that he was able to come up with the name “Self-Awareness” because the concept of “self” is so multifaceted, but that “self awareness” is just that, self awareness. Larry tells us that as an attorney, he often sees cases where people are not aware that they’re handicapped or have a disability.
Self-awareness is the key to self-policing. Self Awareness is the most basic of all of the self-policing tools I’ve mentioned. Self-awareness is not the same thing as self-policing. Self-policing is about doing the things you do without thinking about them or worrying about it. Self-policing is doing the things you do automatically without thinking about them, without thinking about what you’re doing.
larry is a good example of what works. Self-policing means consciously thinking of what youre doing and how youre doing it. Self-policing is an attitude. Youre not just doing something automatically, youre thinking about it. So instead of just automatically doing something, you decide to think about it. That is self-policing. Once you have decided that youre doing something, you apply self-policing to it.
Self-policing is probably the biggest difference between the way we live our lives today and how we lived our lives a few decades ago. When people in the mid-30s lived lives based on automatic response, they didn’t have any self-awareness. They automatically did things such as buying a house, going to college, and so on. They didn’t think about what they were doing.
This is similar to the idea of the “automatic pilot” theory when it comes to driving. The theory states that the automatic pilot is a conscious decision system that makes sure the vehicle is still running after you hit the gas or brake. If you really think about it, you would think that this would be the first time in history that someone would have to actually stop driving to take a breath.
This is kind of like that, although it’s more a conscious decision. It’s like a human’s decision as to whether or not to stop driving. There are thousands of accidents, thousands of deaths, and thousands of crashes that happen every day, but we usually don’t think about them (maybe we just choose to ignore them). The only time we actually do think about them (and usually we do), is when we get arrested.
There have been several recent studies that show that even under the best conditions, most people don’t inhale for more than 20 seconds without blowing their nose. This is due to how our bodies and brains react to even the smallest amount of stress. The fact is that it’s going to be impossible to stop driving and just inhale for a few moments. We have to actually stop driving as well.
We can’t just ignore it. You will at least have to inhale. You will at least have to breathe. You will at least have to be aware of what you are inhaling and exhaling. You will at least have to take notice of your mind and body. You will at least have to get pissed off. You will at least have to die.
It is the smallest change that you can make that could have a big impact on your life. Stress, like most problems in life, is something that changes you. It takes the stress away from you and puts it back into your body. This is something that you can do without putting yourself into a situation that could potentially kill you. The most important thing is that you are aware of the fact that you are stressed and that you are taking care of yourself.
