Month 8
The Commitment to Upgrading The Power of Self-Awareness.
Right at the start, let us set this month’s alarm:
What is my question for the day?
Socrates said, KNOW THYSELF.
Aristotle taught, KNOWING YOURSELF IS THE BEGINNING OF ALL WISDOM.
Lao Tzu was known to share this incredibly wise teaching:
“KNOWING OTHERS IS INTELLIGENCE.
KNOWING YOURSELF IS TRUE WISDOM.
MASTERING OTHERS IS STRENGTH.
MASTERING YOURSELF IS TRUE POWER.”
Dr. Joe Dispenza is someone I have chosen to follow and learn from for years. He teaches, SELF-AWARENESS LEADS TO SELF-ACTUALIZATION.
Wendi Jensen wrote in one of her books:
THOSE WITH THE MOST POWERFUL AND POTENT QUESTIONS WILL CREATE THE MOST POWERFUL AND POTENT LIVES.
There is SO MUCH POWER in Self-Awareness. The better we know our current self, the more we can do to align it with the highest version of ourselves that we can imagine and visualize.
Self–actualization is the complete realization of one’s potential, and the full development of one’s abilities to create and appreciate life. Self-actualization is a life-long journey.
The first step to experiencing a personal awakening is to really get to know our self. Until we really know who we are, and how we are choosing to identify, it is impossible to truly love our self. Until we truly love our self, we are less capable at truly loving others. Once we know our self, and understand who we are in a continuously increasing, significant way, we will be empowered to do, and create anything we want. Knowing ourselves makes it easier to explore what EXACTLY enables and empowers us to heal and live more effectively, efficiently, and more optimally.
Dr. Joe Dispenza teaches, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ONSELF IS SELF-EMPOWERMENT.
Sometimes, listening to others in a presentation or a podcast is an excellent way to upgrade our Self-Awareness experience! Hearing the knowledge, experience, and wisdom that others have accumulated in a lifetime sometimes sparks ideas, thoughts, and questions within ourselves that lead to deeper understanding of our self, and how we can more optimally interact in this world to produce our deepest desires, most sought-after results, and the most beautiful personal reality available to us.
So where do we begin? How do we REALLY know ourselves better? How do we become more self-aware? How do we become better versions of what we think ourselves to be?
Jim Rohn taught that for thousands of years, not much has changed. The sun still rises and sets. The seasons come and go, and have with regularity, for thousands of years. The hopeless people exclaim: “If things don’t change, how will things ever change for me?!” The answer: “When YOU change.”
The beauty of this months challenge is that next year, if you choose to do this again, you will observe a MASSIVE amount of personal growth and a personal perspective-shift that will be unbelievable. As WE change, our responses, reactions, and actions change-as do our opinions, beliefs, and perspectives. Completing this months project each year, and answering the same questions each year, is a sure way to notice, measure, and track personal progress.
This month, at the beginning of each day, you’ll be writing down a question to contemplate throughout the day that you believe will empower you to up-level your own self-awareness.
I have created a page at www.goodinthehead.com called The goodinthehead Self-Awareness Challenge. At the bottom of this page are questions you can read through and pick out each day, if ever you find it difficult to think of questions you want answered on your own.
While answering your daily questions, be as descriptive and detailed as you possibly can. Be RAW, REAL, AND HONEST. Full transparency is a great habit to practice, as it allows anyone you choose to be transparent with an opportunity to more deeply and fully connect with you. WE ARE AS SICK AS OUR SECRETS, and to alleviate ALL secrets from our lives is to peal back each layer of all we are NOT, revealing the beauty of our TRUE SELF.
UNBECOMING ALL THAT WE THOUGHT WE HAD TO BE FOR OTHERS, only to reveal all we actually ARE, is a life-long process and practice that will produce significant and magical results.

CONGRATULATIONS ON COMPLETING MONTH 8 IN THIS WORKBOOK! It is my hope that this month has led you to a deeper understanding of the “SELF,” and that you have realized and considered things by using as many perspectives to view the same things in as many different ways as possible. The way we view ourselves is most likely one of the most important things we can choose to consistently upgrade, and I challenge you to repeat each month of this workbook every year, for the rest of your life, and doing it in YOUR ways, at YOUR pace, and to the best of YOUR abilities.
What was the MOST SUPRISING revelation about yourself that you realized throughout this last month?
What are things you have decided to do on a daily basis, based upon what you learned about yourself this last month?
What are things you desire to discontinue or STOP doing on a daily basis, based upon what you learned about yourself this last month?
Think back to the day you started this workbook. What have you realized about yourself since beginning this project?
What are the things you are MOST grateful for in your life, right now?
