Self-awareness is hot, but it's not enough.

Quoting some of my fav portions from the article:

Acknowledging your issues, but refusing to make any real, active change is the epitome of self-centredness.

Being aware of why your destructive and harmful habits exist does not absolve you of any responsibility to heal. It amplifies it. And while it can feel scary and hard to take that responsibility head on, it’s a huge gift. That pit of devastation that opens up when you realise you’re the problem? It’s there to save you. Sit there a moment, accept that life has thrown you opportunity to heal and, when you’re ready, lean on in. It’s worth it, I promise.

Book Recommendation:

book-recommendation, rising-strong, brene-brown

The author of the article recommends to read this book "Rising Woman" by "Brene Brown". I have added this to my reading list. [
