How to Become More Self-Aware

In this episode of Being Well, Forrest and I explore what it takes to develop self-awareness over time, where different forms of awareness come into play, and why maintaining awareness can be such a struggle. We then spend some time considering the heartening notion that the majority of what we have to look forward to when we become more self-aware is the recognition of our own positive aspects, and the natural movement towards health and integration.
