In our society, nobody ever really teaches you about your inner world. Everyone is always so focused on the outer world, business goals, awards, money, and material success that we often overlook the importance of understanding our inner selves. In this episode, Hallie and I explore how to begin to cultivate awareness, and gradually move towards pure awareness. And, yes, we talk about what pure awareness is too! We also cover why it’s important to be more aware of your emotions than to control them, the three levels of awareness and consciousness, and how surrendering may lead to less motivation – for a time. Remember, pure awareness is an infinite game, so start small and stay in the present moment.
