Self-awareness is the key to fulfilling your needs
We often find ourselves giving to others what we desperately need ourselves, without even realizing it. It's a subconscious attempt to receive that same care or attention in return. However, this approach rarely works as intended, leaving us feeling used, manipulated, rejected, and neglected.
The root of this issue lies in our lack of self-awareness – the ability to understand our own needs, desires, and motivations. Many of us, especially women, have become so accustomed to putting others first that we've lost touch with our own wants and needs.

Self-awareness is a crucial skill that allows us to identify and address our needs directly, rather than relying on others to fulfill them. By cultivating self-awareness, we can:
1. Understand our emotions and motivations in the present moment.
2. Recognize our needs and desires without relying on others.
3. Take responsibility for meeting our own needs.
4. Avoid the disappointment of unmet expectations from others.

Developing self-awareness is a practice that requires conscious effort and dedication. Here are some practical steps you can take:
1. Reflect on what you give to others: Ask yourself, "What am I trying to force on others?" This may reveal the needs you're subconsciously trying to fulfill.
2. Check in with yourself regularly: Set reminders throughout the day to ask yourself questions like "What do I want right now?", "Why am I doing this?", and "How do I feel about this?"
3. Practice mindfulness: Be present in the moment and observe your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment.
4. Journaling: Write down your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

By cultivating self-awareness, you'll be better equipped to meet your own needs directly, without relying on others or feeling disappointed when they fail to meet your unspoken expectations.
