This is Awareness for Everyone, an exploration of Conscious Reality Creation, and living the best lives we can for ourselves. I am MJ Blehart, writer, blogger, editor, and 21st century philosopher. Welcome to Episode 86 – Situational Awareness
What is this?
Situational awareness is the knowledge of others and how they impact you and vice versa.
Situational awareness is a common matter in sports, military operations, chess, and anywhere else that applies tactics, strategies, and logic.
But it goes into multiple aspects of life.
Situational awareness in life is part of mindfulness and conscious reality creation.
Literal situational awareness
We have all encountered people who lack situational awareness.
My current neighbors upstairs seem to be utterly unaware that we live below them. They step heavily, have a child who jumps a lot, and either blatantly or blindly ignore that we live down here – and they make a lot of noise.
This is a choice. Ignoring situational awareness leads to disagreements, confrontations, hurt feelings, and other negatives.
Figurative situational awareness
This is the intangible aspects that exist in everyday life.
For example, let’s say I decided to get in my car, abandon everyone and everything, and drive west to start my life completely over. This might be massively beneficial to me – but it will have an impact on other people in my life.
Just because I am striving to live the best life I can for myself doesn’t mean I do so in a vacuum. I count on certain people and things – and they, in turn, count on me.
This is where The Secret and the Law of Attraction can get abused. The lack of situational awareness on the part of those attempting to consciously create reality in one way or another will impact others. Nobody lives in a vacuum, and though the impact may be tiny it can spread in unexpected ways.
Awareness for everyone may be largely about being aware and mindful of yourself – but you don’t live in a vacuum. You cannot change anyone else – only you. Being aware of who you are doesn’t mean ignoring, neglecting, or disparaging anyone else.
