Self awareness is the key to knowing what matters, what path to take?

A deeper dive into self awareness, maybe with the help of others, and we might just unlock our potential, energy and ability to focus on what matters.
Whether it is the high school kids I work with or the seasoned business folks or any of the many categories in between, spending our time on “what matters” not only feels good but its what fills us up, it is healthy for us. The big question seems to be how to determine my “what matters”. I suggest the search begins with a review of dreams, goals and a deep dive into our current reality. We are all in different places so there is not a one size fits all process but maybe a check list that’s not in any particular order. Some check list items worth asking ourselves might: be how do I feel about how I spend my time, do I spend my time with the right people? Am I energized and fulfilled with my career or in class? Where am I with regard to my physical health, mental health, social life, career, education, family relations, finances, community involvement, spirituality? Where do I want to be with regard to each of these pieces of my life? Then if you’re up to it challenge yourself to pick a couple areas to focus on and actions to take in those areas of focus. Sometime tough any of this work is overwhelming. Sometime we are just trying to take a deep breath and gather ourselves so we can get out of bed. Regardless of your current state, reach out to others for help, support, guidance or as sounding boards. Sometimes “what matters” is breathing other times it is a clear pursuit of personal fulfillment. Either way aligning ourselves with people that care is essential to our growth.
