Awareness

Self -awareness is the ability to know yourself and how you relate in the world. It's the first step to change and growth. Self -Awareness, and self-reflection are similar and they usually go hand in hand. Awareness is recognizing our actions. Self-reflection is our ability to examine our motives and any patterns that influence our actions. Awareness is our ability to bring thoughts, emotions, unhealthy coping strategies, and our emotional needs to the surface for examination. Both awareness and self-reflection are meant to be gentle and compassionate in nature. Without these two components, we are left with disciplining our way to change and growth. As children of God, we are meant to be changed from the inside out, from glory to glory, and at the heart level.

(Ephesian 5:13 NIV) everything exposed by the light becomes visible and everything illuminated becomes a light

(Luke 8:17 NIV) there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealing that will not be known or brought into the open
