What are Blind Spots?

If you are thinking that a blind spot is that specific area you CANNOT see that appears when you are driving your car or truck, you are right. However you can also have blind spots in your personal life that you cannot see and it can also be detrimental to your every day living habits or behaviors. So how do we become more  self aware of our blind spots in order to deal with them in a healthy way?  Having extremely high self awareness and mindfulness concerning your overall thoughts, feelings and behaviors is a great way to start. When you exhibit this type of self processing you begin to evaluate exactly what it might be that is causing so much unrest in your life.  Once you start becoming more aware of the specific thought that leads to the emotional feeling and then the reaction or behavior you may start becoming much more aware of your own blind spot and start making the changes you desire. Making the change does require defining what it is you want to change and replacing it with the new concept of thinking, doing or being. We will always have blind spots in our lives. That is living life on life’s terms. Once you start working on one another may pop up from time to time so don’t get to bent out of shape trying to perfect your own life. You may also ask someone you trust, and that you are close to to be honest with you about whether or not there are things in your own life you do not see but they might see. Make sure you are ready to hear the truth and not take it so personal and get offended. Remember you asked them to be honest. So start working on becoming more self aware and mindful of those blind spots you may be unaware of in your own life. You may see changes that are encouraging and empowering!
