Awareness increases your self-confidence. You may not understand what is behind a hunch or an impulse, but mindfulness allows you to study motivation and intention. Instead of immediately acting on a hunch or ignoring an impulse, do a mindfulness practice. Listen to and analyze your impulses. Give each moment your intention and awareness. Don’t waste energy battling all the little waves, the ocean is full of them and they keep coming; just pay attention and correct the course when necessary.
As you wake up, welcome the new day with a mindful smile. Ask that you may live each moment with mindfulness and awareness. Ask that you walk on a path of peace and do no harm. Ask that you become more aware.
