In this introductory episode, I share why I believe self awareness is the ultimate foundational tool for self-care, authenticity, happiness and achieving your goals.  We're all connected and everything we do is connected.The painter Antoni Tapies on the connectedness of things:"Take a look at the simplest of objects. Let's take, for example, an old chair. It seems like nothing.But think of the universe comprised within it: the sweaty hands cutting the wood that used to be a robust tree, full of energy, in the middle of a luxuriant forest by some high mountains. The loving work that built it, the joyful anticipation of the one who bought it, the tired bodies it has helped, the pains and the joys it must have endured, whether in fancy halls or in a humble dining room in your neighborhood.Everything, everything shares life and has its importance! Even the most worn down of chair carries inside the initial force of the sap climbing from the earth, out there in the forest, and will still be useful the day when, broken into kindling, it burns in some fireplace.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today we walk through what I've called the "4 Styles of Self-Awareness". My theory is that we've all got a self-awareness style or strength – a way that we connect to ourselves when we’re stressed and taxed (or happy!). We're either using it in a deliberate, intentional way that connects us to the present moment, or it's like a subconscious program running our lives and preventing us from creating the goals we want.If you haven't taken the Self-Awareness Style Quiz yet, you can here: https://www.jenpillipow.com/quiz/Homework to take this work deeper with journaling questions:What does safety feel like to you?How does it feel to you?And how do you recognize it when you have it?Next steps:Join the Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/selfawarenessstyleSubscribe to the podcastFree Quiz: https://www.jenpillipow.com/quiz/https://www.jenpillipow.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"If you don't have any shadows you're not in the light." ~ Lady GagaToday on the podcast I start with a grounding, so if you typically listen to this episode while driving or walking, I recommend you find a cozy seat and settle in for this 20 minutes. Today is one of my favorite topics: the shadow side.We each have a self-awareness style. A way we connect to ourselves when we’re stressed and taxed. And we're either doing it in a deliberate, thoughtful way that helps us; or, we are getting sucked into the vortex of automatic, subconscious behavior that leads us to toxic habits and negative outcomes. I call this the shadow side of our self awareness style and that's what today's episode is all about.“Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.” ~ Rumi https://www.jenpillipow.com/Self-awareness Quiz: https://www.jenpillipow.com/quiz/Perfectionism Workshop: https://jen-s-school-ee17.thinkific.com/courses/perfectionismAuthenticity Workshops: https://www.jenpillipow.com/work-with-me-11/Acknowledging the land and water that sustains us: I live on traditional lands, refereed to as Treaty 6 Territory, encompassing the traditional territories of numerous First Nations, including the Cree and Metis Homeland.

In this episode I refer to knowing your own personal self awareness strength – if you’re jumping in at episode 4, you can discover your own self awareness strength by completing my short, free quiz on my website – but I highly encourage you to start from episode 1 as each episode builds on the last, is in a specific order.In this show I share tips on when to practice your self-awareness style, how to slow down, and how to start looking at this habit we all have - to escape the present moment.

As you're practicing your self-awareness style you might first realize how un-aware you are. And then you might notice it gets harder and you feel "tested". This is good news!"Tests" are designed to come up before big shifts. It's a sign you're doing it right, going in the right direction.Here’s what I invite you to do: ask yourself these 3 questions: 1.    What are your distractions teaching you? 2.    Who are you becoming in the process? 3.    What’s the real lesson?You can download this week's worksheet HERE.Self-awareness Quiz:Perfectionism WorkshopAuthenticity WorkshopsWebsite See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A conversation with Fabienne Corinne Thommen, Optician, Vision Trainer, and RTT Therapist who helps people improve and recover their vision.We talk about how some people create a need for glasses in their mind as a protection system and I think this perfectly describes my fascination with trying to improve my eyesight naturally.I could just go get laser eye surgery ... but to me, that's missing the point. I want to understand myself better and understand why I created a need for protection.It's not like I had a traumatic childhood - far from it! But I love this definition of trauma from Psychology Today:trauma is.... "anything that's too much, too soon, or too fast for our nervous system to handle, especially if we can't reach successful resolution."If you wear glasses, and are also curious about why and what layer it may reveal for you, check out Fabienne's program starting soon!Diamond 20/20 Vision And Sight Alchemy MasterclassFabienne's Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/fabiennecorinnethommen/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
