How to Become More Self-Aware Through Mindfulness

In this video, you will learn how to become more self-aware through mindfulness.
Self-awareness is the state of being conscious of your thoughts, feelings and actions.
It is a state which can be tapped into at any given time. However, for people who do not regularly practice awareness, this divine-like state is often obscured by racing thoughts and undigested feelings.
You can train your awareness through mindful meditations. Meditation, at least mindful meditation, is simply about witnessing your thoughts and feelings, recognising when you’ve gotten lost in thought, and then bringing your attention back to the present moment.
Contrary to popular belief, success in meditation is when you’ve noticed you’ve gotten lost in thought and can return your awareness back to the moment.
Training your awareness through mindful meditations has profound benefits. The most glaring benefit for me was learning that the real you is the being who witnesses and experiences your thoughts and emotions, not the thought or emotion itself.
Scientists and psychologists together concluded that after 8 weeks of daily mindfulness practice, the brain showed increased cortical thickness (which is generally associated with improved cognitive abilities) in 4 key areas:
1. Posterior cingulate, which is involved in mind wandering and self-relevance
2. Left hippocampus, which assists in learning, cognition, memory and emotional regulation
3. Temporoparietal junction, which is associated with perspective taking, empathy and compassion
4. Pons, where a lot of regulatory neurotransmitters are produced
Essentially, science indicates that making meditation a daily habit puts you on track to becoming a much more developed person. From my own experience, this is without a doubt true.
