40 Days Soul Fast (Dr. Cindy Trims)

Awareness

God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are (Romans 8:15).
Today, the first day of your journey to a more authentic life, begins with a focus on awareness. This is the first of 40 characteristics that define a person who is living authentically-for how can you be truly yourself if you’re not aware of who you truly are?

For now, I want you to simply focus on being more self-aware. Without cultivating self-awareness, nothing else you do will move you toward living more authentically. It is the first step you must take in making the adjustments necessary to correct the course of your life.

If you are to grow as a person, you must be aware of what your thoughts are telling you about whom you are now and who you are capable of becoming. You must have an objective understanding of your own mindsets, habits, challenges, strengths, and weaknesses.

We shall not cease from exploration - and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. -T. S. Eliot
