A BENEFIT OF SELF-AWARENESS (inspired by the writings of Maxwell Maltz)

By becoming observers of ourselves,
we can increase our awareness of how we react
in various situations.

When we see ourselves
doing anything which is not constructive
and which we wish to change,
or thinking negative thoughts,
we take note of it and remind ourselves
that these are old ideas, thoughts, or acts
which we wish to let go.

We presently replace these negative
or self-destructive old ideas
with more positive or more constructive ideas,
thoughts, or acts.
