Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and we’ve all had moments where we’ve felt like our emotions or reactions are out of our control. You might have even found yourself wondering, “Why am I acting this way? This isn’t who I really am.” If that’s you, know you’re not alone, and there’s a path forward.
What helped me, and what I want to share with you, is the power of conscious awareness. We often hear terms like “mindfulness,” “self-awareness,” or “presence,” and while they may sound like buzzwords, they all point to the same concept: the ability to be truly present, aware of our thoughts and emotions, and able to choose how we respond, rather than simply reacting on autopilot.
I first encountered the term “conscious awareness” back in early 2012, when I visited a counselor in Brisbane. At the time, I didn’t fully grasp its meaning, but his words were a turning point. They set me on a journey that led me to become an NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) Coach and dive deep into Leadership, Teams, and Men’s Coaching. Over the years, I’ve come to realize that conscious awareness isn’t just about managing emotions; it’s about learning how to live life to its fullest—without being weighed down by old patterns, past traumas, or negative conditioning.
As leaders—and as human beings—it’s so important to embrace this awareness. It helps us make decisions aligned with our values, respond with clarity instead of reaction, and lead with authenticity. But here’s the thing: sometimes, subconscious wounds or unhealed past traumas can block us from this awareness, making it feel like success and happiness are always just out of reach.
For me, I came to understand that my reactions were often rooted in childhood patterns and unresolved emotions. These subconscious blocks kept me from stepping into the best version of myself. And that’s why the work I do today is so important. Healing those past wounds, becoming conscious of those patterns, and releasing them allowed me to experience deeper peace, success, and joy.
This journey is far from easy, but it’s worth it. Through my coaching programs, I help people work through those blocks, heal, and develop the kind of conscious awareness that leads to higher states of success, happiness, and abundance.
If you are a small business owner struggling to get to the next level, or a partner struggling to understand your partner’s behavior, if you’ve ever felt like giving up or even thought about taking your life, or if you find yourself constantly wanting to save the world but not yourself, or stuck in old patterns, constantly choosing the same partners or facing the same results, then chances are you haven’t yet reached full conscious awareness. These old patterns and subconscious blockages may be keeping you from stepping into your highest, most authentic self.
Be aware that even your leaders in the workplace may not be entirely conscious or have worked through their challenges so if they are often angry, judgemental, impatient, dismissive, closed or overly eager to please others and so forth then the chances are they could be suffering silently and are likely to benefit from working on themselves in this area.
The good news? You can change it. By becoming more conscious of yourself—your emotions, your triggers, and your actions—you can start living with more clarity, intention, and fulfillment.
If you’re ready to take this journey of growth and healing, I’d love to help you unlock the power of conscious awareness and create a life full of purpose and abundance. No pressure but let me know if you're keen, I'm here to help without judgements.
Yours in success!
