Self-awareness has become a buzzword in this era of self-improvement and personal development. It is a critical tool in our evolution, allowing us to understand ourselves better, interpret past experiences, manage unpredictable situations, and improve our relationships. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the profound connection between self-awareness and personal growth. From understanding our motivations to dissecting past traumas, they shed light on how these elements empower us to make superior decisions. They underscore the value of stepping outside our comfort zones and embracing the positive changes that self-awareness brings.

Speaker 1:

We hope you enjoyed our latest episode, episode number 1488. Make more time to practice your passions. Part two Today for episode number 1489, happy Saturday.

Speaker 1:

Another reason self-awareness is so important. I was on a wonderful podcast today Travis his name was I think it was chats with Trab or something like that. Awesome, very into self-improvement, very self-aware, a very deep conversation, one of my favorite podcasts I've been on. And he asked me a very simple question that I've been trying to create better answers for. He said why is self-awareness so important? And I'm thinking well, I could talk about the hyper-conscious podcast acutely aware, change the way you think, change the way you act, change the way you live.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I don't know, I've done that before, I don't know if that landed very well and I said, all right, I'm going to try a totally new thought. That is not really. I don't have a runway for this, I'm just going to see what happens. And he's like risky game, risky game. But at least I called it out. I said, hey, this could be garbage what I say next. So, just so you know garbage.

Speaker 1:

And he said, awesome, let's do it. And I said, okay, life is coming for us all. There will be adversity, there will be challenges, there will be failure, there will be tragedy, there will be struggle. Self-awareness allows you to understand what all of it actually means. It allows you to get closer to the truth of what all of that actually means when it affects you. And I said just as an example if you have an insecurity around someone who has a high level of confidence or a high level of success or whatever it may be, and you get to the level of self-awareness where you say and we've talked about this a lot over the last week that's not a them problem, this is a me thing.

Speaker 1:

I got to deal with this for myself. It almost becomes, it's almost like a headache. When you get a headache, you know what medicine to take to make the headache go away. Self-awareness ibuprofen. I don't. I very rarely take ibuprofen, just for the record. I almost I don't. I woke up today with me with the worst headache ever and I just went to the gym. I will not.

Speaker 2:

I don't like taking medicine Well usually you hydrate a little, see if that works. No, I slept wrong. I slept wrong, oh you slept wrong.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I slept wrong. It's, it was my trap. My neck is all tight, I'm falling apart, I am becoming old, but when you have a headache so even that, when I have a headache I drink water and it goes away you understand what the remedy for the symptom is, and I think self-awareness is the same thing. Unfortunately, oftentimes the ego is the thing that we use as the remedy. So it's screw Allen, he's so this, or screw Kev, he's this, or whatever, whatever it may be.

Speaker 1:

So I was trying to explain my new quote unquote thesis on this and I said it just allows you to understand and be more in control of the stuff that you don't have control over. Unfortunately, something bad will happen to us all. Self-awareness allows you to understand how that actually affects you and it can kind of affect you less. The things that happen to you in the present will affect you a little bit less if you understand what's happened to you in the past and how what happened to you in the past affects your present. So that was really the depths at which we explored that when I was on this podcast today and I just thought self-awareness isn't really a sexy topic.

Speaker 1:

A lot of the stuff we talk about isn't super sexy. But what if I came to you and said hey, I have something that I can give to you and once you have this thing, it's going to make your life so much, it's going to make your life make so much more sense. So the point where, if something happens to you today, you're going to be able to connect how that thing felt today was based on something that happened 15 years ago and you can kind of go back into your past and understand that and change the way it makes you feel about today. Are you interested in that? And someone might say yes and I might say okay, self-awareness, I can't really give it to you. You have to, you have to take it for yourself, but it might be one of the most powerful things on the planet and something, very clearly, that you and I are both passionate about, definitely.

Speaker 2:

I believe it's one third of the equation. I think there's three. If you're a long-term listener to this show, you know that I adore deeper understanding. Kev loves tactics and strategies, I love deeper understanding. So together we have we have it all.

Speaker 2:

The three things that I think you have to understand on the deepest level in order to maximize the probability that you have a rich, dynamic, positive life are number one, a deeper understanding of self self-awareness. Number two, a deep understanding of other people people in general, other people and number three, a deep understanding of the world. So you have to understand how you work and why you work that way. You have to understand how other people work and why they work that way, and you have to understand how the world works and why it works that way. And I feel like my early life I was really good at the third one, not so good at the second and it's honestly interesting. It's in my the first decade of my life and my Teens, I think was focused on how the world works and why it works that way. As an engineer, becoming an engineer again, this from 20 to 30 I feel like it was mostly focused on how people work physiology, neuroscience, that kind of thing. And then my 30s have been a lot about understanding. I actually screwed this up. From 20 to 30 it was mostly understanding self self-awareness, and then from my 30s, I'm really starting to understand how people in general work Through particularly this modality of therapy called internal family systems.

Speaker 2:

I've talked about it a lot. If you've seen the movie by Pixar, inside out it's kind of like that. But essentially we all have these parts and they all have different aspirations, different beliefs, different values, and I'm not going to go deep into IFS right now, but what I do know is that we all have these different parts of us that drive at different times and they get triggered in different ways. So, for example, if you're in the gym and you're around someone who's in really, really, really good shape, you might get triggered and it might trigger a part of you that feels not good enough, and then your reaction to that might be to villainize that other person Versus.

Speaker 2:

If you were self-aware, you might go oh, I feel not good enough because of this trigger, because I'm not proud of my own physique. Instead of getting upset with them, what can I do about that? Okay, I can learn how to do this other lift. Or I can learn how to work out more consistently, or I can work on it, and so, instead of reacting to what you can't control, which is pointing the finger outward, you instead React, contemplate why you're reacting, the way you're reacting, and then say okay, what can I personally do about this? That is within my control or within my influence, and I think that that's a big difference between someone who is hyper conscious and self-aware and someone who is just kind of on autopilot.

Speaker 1:

Well, the other thought is how how much clarity can you have if you don't really have self-awareness right, I think? Naturally, when we talk about clarity, we assume external, like how clear am I on what I want externally? Not, how how much clarity do I have on who I am internally? I don't know if anybody's ever asked me that when they've asked about clarity, it's almost like what do you want? What do you want to accomplish? What do you want to happen? Where do you want to be? Not who do you want to be, or how do you want to think, or how do you want to react to problems. So that's another reason self-awareness is so important.

Speaker 2:

Well, there's a huge bottleneck to getting what you want right there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah and Normally I mean you and you hear that often right, clarity is. Clarity is always the first step, but there is internal clarity and external clarity. For sure. One of the other things Me, I don't know maybe the most important. I don't know, it's really hard to say, but when it comes to relationships, I'm understanding, now more than ever, the importance of self-awareness, not based on my relationship, but just based on reflecting on old relationships and old experiences and looking at other people's relationships. And it's just, it's very telling the way somebody talks about themselves. I don't know if you've ever seen this. Where you'll? You? Maybe you either know a couple, or maybe you've coached a couple, or you've seen a couple and One partner seems like they're, it seems Like they're very self-aware, because they say they're very self-aware but you can tell they're just not at all. Yeah, and I've had those moments where it's like, oh, my goodness, I feel so bad for that other partner I know there's a trouble there, in trouble because, yeah, because that's the worst case someone thinks they're self-aware.

Speaker 2:

who isn't? If they think they're self-aware, why would they work on self-awareness, Whereas you might be very self-aware and be like I don't know if I'm that self-aware I said?

Speaker 1:

that today on that podcast I said a tell if you want to know whether or not somebody's self-aware. If somebody comes to you and says, yeah, I'm as self-aware as I can be, they're not that self-aware.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, definitely not. If somebody comes to you and says I'm the most self-aware I've ever been.

Speaker 1:

Okay, good, that's great. Growth mindset I'm the more. I'm the most self-aware I've ever been, but I know I have a long way to go. Awesome, you're probably super self-aware, yep, and then, even if somebody says I'm not self-aware at all, it's like I don't know. Based on the fact that you know that, I think you probably are.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1:

We had.

Speaker 2:

I don't think I'm that humble you know you really like well, that's exactly what a humble person would say it's like right. Oh, my god, am I humble. Which then takes away the humility Isolation we used to have when.

Speaker 1:

So when people would join next level nation, we would say, on a scale of one to ten, how confident are you? And we would have all the data. So we because we would, we're trying To learn about people we wanted to know who's the audience, what do they deal with, how do we add value? And I remember we had that same conversation of yeah, on a scale of one to ten, you put one as your level of confidence the lowest it could possibly be. Doesn't it require a level of Confidence to say that you're a one, yeah, and then there's, and then we knew people would put ten. It's like there's no way you're a ten. I know you behind the scenes. Yeah, 100, so Even that okay.

Speaker 1:

Another reason self-awareness is so important. Imagine you join a group and the question is on a scale of one to ten, how confident are you? Or on a scale one to ten, how much help do you need? Or how much supports you need? And you put I don't need any support. Almost every experience you have I know my wife has, jeff, and almost any every experience you have, almost every expectation you have almost every Conversation. You have almost every lesson you learn, almost every action you take is probably gonna be in alignment with the way you answer those questions in the beginning. And if you're off on yourself awareness, you're gonna be off on, you're gonna be off on your approach. I and everything and everything I. Self-awareness is maybe my favorite thing in the world talk.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you love it, it's good, it's super important, it's me fired up, all right. So let's break down self-awareness a little bit, because we've got some time here. It's Friday night for us. This is dropping tomorrow, so it's Saturday morning for everybody. Morning for the folks, yeah, for the fam folks, saturday morning, happy Saturday morning. Self-awareness. What are the components of it? How do you get?

Speaker 1:

it? You asking me a question? Yeah, oh, I don't know what the components are Self and awareness. Those are the two, two main components.

Speaker 2:

No, how do you get it? How do you build self-awareness?

Speaker 1:

either asking yourself, asking yourself Powerful swash, swash my goodness it's just fun for me it's good, uncomfortable questions.

Speaker 2:

I swept wrong and I swash.

Speaker 1:

This is great or having someone ask you questions and sitting with you until you answer them. Yeah, it's, it's you and I had a conversation right before this, and I won't I won't give details because it's private conversation but you asked a couple questions and I dug and I dug and I dug and I said, oh, I think this is like the truth of it. And he said why didn't you just tell me that? Not, you didn't say it like that kind of you actually kind of did say a little bit, yeah, and I was like I don't know, man, I didn't know.

Speaker 1:

Until you asked me the questions, I didn't realize that was what's running me. So, yeah, you, you have to create some sort of perspective. If you want to look at something differently, you have to look at something different and it'll allow you to look at that other thing differently. So it's almost like hey, have you ever thought of? I Don't know? Hey, kev, I notice you tend to be early all the time and you get frustrated when people are late. Do you know where that comes from? Like, well, no, yeah, I just like being early. Well, if you had to guess why you like being early, what is it, do you think? Yeah, and then I might say like probably certainty. And we might keep digging and, digging and digging and eventually.

Speaker 2:

Why do you want to feel certain Right and then, well, I was very uncertain growing up or whatever.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, yeah you keep digging and digging, as oh. I used to work at a job where I had to be certain that I was there on time, and if I didn't if I wasn't there on time my bosses would get disappointed to me.

Speaker 2:

And when they got disaffired me, and then you'd lose money. Yeah, and then if you lose money now, you have massive uncertainty.

Speaker 1:

So questions, I think asking yourself questions, somebody else coaches, listening to, listening to content, whether it's books, audio books, whatever that Make you question Yourself, not in a toxic, deconstructive way, but I've never really, I've never really thought of that about myself before. Interesting Okay, okay, what does that mean about me? But I think you need external Inputs To create that conversation. I would say, and I just think it's, it's the understanding of yourself as a human. It's understanding why you feel certain ways around certain people, why you feel certain ways around certain things, why you're confident in submarine is why your ego Runs you in some, why you're different around your family, why you're different around certain friends. Self-awareness is almost like the understanding of the, the human. We. We have awareness around our phones. We have awareness around Makeup. I have awareness around Fighting mixed martial arts. It's just how much knowledge do you have on a certain thing? And the amount of knowledge you have on something, the amount of understanding you have on something, allows you to Understand it and influence it at a deeper level.

Speaker 2:

All right, I'm gonna try this. Imagine you're in a car and you're driving and You're listening to your favorite song or your favorite audiobook Okay, song for me, song for kev, audio book for me and you're driving and it's all good. It's all good and all of a sudden there's a detour and you're almost to where you're trying to go, but you're all confused. Now the GPS isn't working anymore and you don't know where to go and there's traffic and you just your. There's a detour. You've never been this way before. All of a sudden, you got to turn off the audiobook or turn off the song, all right, everybody quiet. Because you got to figure out where you're going. What I? What happened there is you were on autopilot, just driving down the road and then, all of a sudden, when you got lost, you had uncertainty and you needed everything to be quiet so that you could come back onto or off of autopilot. So now, all of a sudden, you need your conscious mind again. You need to think about where you are and where to go. Blah, blah, blah. We've all been in scenarios like that. It's like everybody just be quiet for a second. I need to figure out. We get my bearings.

Speaker 2:

I Think that self-awareness Helps you identify when you are on autopilot and when you are not. And when you are more self-aware, you can choose when and when not to Ignite autopilot. So, for example, if Kevin were to say something that triggers me, if I'm not self-aware I'm just gonna react and say a few kev and then Not think about it, whereas if I'm self-aware, I'm gonna take a moment and feel the trigger and be like, okay, what's that about? And then, oh, that's right. Okay, so he made fun of me, or I thought he made fun of me because I got triggered by XYZ. Instead of that, I'm just gonna say, hey, kev, in the future, do you mind just being a little more kind around this Subject, because I'm a little insecure? That's the difference between self-awareness and ego. Ego is I'm not insecure at all. Man like you're kind of being a dick.

Speaker 2:

Self-awareness is listen, I didn't realize it, but I think I'm insecure about this and I didn't want to villainize you in that moment. I'd rather just talk about it. And and in the future, can you just please understand that and maybe Work with me. Which one takes more time and effort? The second one you got to figure out where it comes from.

Speaker 2:

And the other vulnerable part about this. You don't actually know for sure. It's not like I can go into that and go oh, that's because of XYZ. So instead, and even more vulnerable is I'm not really sure why I'm triggered, but I think it has to do with this, this and this. Can you please just just understand that in the future? Now, then it's the balls in Kevin's court and if Kevin doesn't want to adapt or evolve or Try to be a better friend, then then that tells you about Kev and then you can Decide not to be Kevin's friend if you want. But all of that process takes work. It takes so much, so much effort, and I think that that's a lot of the reasons why we don't do it is because we'd rather just stay on autopilot. Listen to our favorite song.

Speaker 1:

Well, and it's challenging. It's challenging asking yourself questions and sitting with the answers a lot of times. Self-awareness it sucks. When you get a new, when you get a new piece of information, sometimes it sucks, it's not like. Can you give us an example? When I when I learned about the fact that one of my biggest triggers is disappointing people, I was excited. There was a piece of me that was excited but that was like oh my goodness, how am I gonna overcome that? I'm gonna be dissapointing people for the rest of my life forever yeah, forever. There's no. And if you let that control you, you're in so much trouble. I know, if I let that control me, I'm gonna end up disappointing myself. So it's like I have to choose you. I mean, they're gonna disappoint myself, I'm gonna disappoint others.

Speaker 2:

You just hit the nail on the head. Now you have a choice. Yeah whereas before it was just a reaction, now you can respond with a choice.

Speaker 1:

Self-awareness going to do? We talk about this. There was a post by someone somebody shared on their story, so I don't know who it was, but it said trauma is an, an explanation, not an excuse for for potentially other people's behaviors. And I think self-awareness is very similar where it's an explanation. It's an explanation of why we're responding to things in the way we're responding to them and ultimately, to your point, it becomes, hopefully, empowerment, but it does become a choice and that's hard, it's hard to have. You've heard the quote ignorance is bliss and it's not really, because eventually it catches up, but it kind of is in the moment.

Speaker 2:

I think ignorance is short-term, bliss yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I think ignorance is short-term bliss for long-term pain. I think awareness, self-awareness is short-term pain for long-term gain.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I would agree. I would agree. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, not really. You know, there's a I'm gonna do a movie reference the Dark Knight, batman movie one of the best movies of all time. Heath Ledger one of the best performances of all time. Rest in Peace. There's a scene where there's a boat full of convicts and there's a boat full of civilians and they are both given a switch that says there's a bomb on the other boat and one of them has to pull it before midnight or they both blow up. I'm sure this is probably like a psychological experiment somewhere in the annals of time, but I don't know. I don't really think that has anything to do with what I was saying, but I kind of wanted to tell the story.

Speaker 2:

You were nodding your head along with it.

Speaker 1:

So I feel like I probably told the story pretty well. You did a good job.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, something about ignorance is bliss Tie that into the Batman Tie that into self-awareness. They need to be self-aware enough to realize that the other person might pull the trigger.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but that's not real. That's other people's awareness.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I know, you just did.

Speaker 1:

Maybe. Yeah, I just did for sure.

Speaker 2:

This is fun for me.

Speaker 1:

The self-awareness is I would rather get blown up than blow someone else up and live. That's dark, but that is self-awareness. I don't think I would rather die with nobility than live with regret.

Speaker 2:

Nice, well done Bringing people behind the scenes real quick. As podcasters, as speakers, it's fun for us to watch each other go down a story and then realize mid-story that it's not going to connect to the original point. The second I took that shot.

Speaker 1:

I knew it was going to be a big risk. Yeah, you knew you were in trouble.

Speaker 2:

And then imagine trying to tell a story well and accurately and then, on top of that, trying to connect it back, knowing that you can't. It's like hilarious. It all worked. It did it worked.

Speaker 1:

Strong work. This is one of those episodes. I don't know if you watch us on YouTube, but I look pretty terrible. My eyes are pretty much closed at this point, alan. You look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, but you can tell you look a little weathered. I'm cooked. Yeah, a little weathered. It's been a week, but I'm glad we again. This is a really good example.

Speaker 1:

This is a really good example of fulfillment. Before we were recording this, I was like dude, come on, I need to get out of here, I need to sit down, I need to be done. It's Friday night, I am burnt out, I am cooked, but there's nowhere. I'd rather be than doing this. I enjoy this more than anything. It's good stuff.

Speaker 2:

One last thing, please Next level nugget. Next level nugget.

Speaker 2:

Mother goose, okay, so the goose that lays the golden nuggets, the golden next level nuggets here we go. All right, this is one of the reasons why I actually like being wrong. I have a weird thing about being wrong. There's a part of me that doesn't like to be wrong, because that part of me likes to be right. But I actually get excited when I'm wrong, and the reason why is because that means there was something I was missing. So recently I've started to understand. There's a part of me that I'm calling little Alan that feels not easily lovable unlovable. Now that I understand that, which I never used to think Like. If you had told me that five, six, seven years ago, I'd have been like no, probably not. I feel super lovable. What are you talking about? Right? So I was wrong about myself.

Speaker 2:

Self-awareness, get excited about being wrong about yourself, because that is how you grow. It is impossible to grow your awareness without realizing that you've been wrong. There's a great quote I forget the philosopher but they say I'm not right, I'm just less wrong than I used to be. That's what Kevin and I are saying. We are not right, we're just less wrong than we used to be, aka less optimal than we used to be. Aka, less accurate than we used to be. Wait, more accurate than we used to be.

Speaker 1:

More accurate than we used to be.

Speaker 2:

That's the cool part about being wrong. Now you have a chance to be more accurate, and when you're more accurate you can make better choices. So that's my next little nugget.

Speaker 1:

My next little nugget is Batman, next level nation. Our next monthly meetup, which I am excited for and the crowd goes wild. Let me lean in here so I can get a good set of eyes on it. I know my glasses on. It is November 2nd, 6 pm Eastern Standard Time, the first Thursday of every month, unless there are scenarios where we're traveling or something like that. How to communicate a vulnerable truth? We talk often about vulnerability. We talk often about how it will bring you closer to people, but how do you do it? It is one of the hardest things in the world. I struggle with it for sure. I'm getting better, I'm improving, but I think we all struggle with it. What are you doing? I'm trying to figure out this mic man. The reason I always call you out when you're smiling at me is because I'm insecure and I think I'm either saying something wrong or you're laughing at me. No, it's just funny.

Speaker 2:

Not in a negative way. I was laughing at me, man. I haven't been in the center of this shot from the get this YouTube. One is going to be me in the corner, hey man, whatever. Or me in the other corner and trying to figure it out.

Speaker 1:

You think we'd have it?

Speaker 2:

figured out after 1,490 episodes. We never will ever.

Speaker 1:

We'll never have it fully figured out Not fully, but we'll have it figured out more than we used to, more than we used to. Speaking of more than we used to, the meetup is going to be better than it used to be. That's fact, because this is number 20. I don't know what it doesn't say 23. 23. 23.

Speaker 1:

So we're doing meetups every month for most two years now. So yeah, how to communicate a vulnerable truth. Oh sorry, November 2nd, 6 pm, Eastern Standard Time. As always, our meetups are totally private Behind the scenes. You can participate as much as you want. You don't have to participate at all. It's not recorded, so you can show up and be yourself. That's it. That's all I have. I gave it all I had.

Speaker 2:

You did. Please join us. One of the cool things we're doing on meetups now is when we present these frameworks or these understandings, these lessons and stories. We also have a right in the chat slide at the end of every sort of deeper understanding so that you can really gain self-awareness. We've really started to implement that. More we're encouraging people to be in the chat, more you will leave that meetup understanding yourself, others and the world at a deeper level. That is what I can promise you. Also, we have a book club called the Next Level Book Club.

Speaker 2:

We have a book by Jim Quick called Limitless that we are currently reading the next chapter, which is actually today, by the way. So if you're listening to this in the morning, you can register. The link is in the show notes and you can join us today at 12.30 pm Eastern Standard Time. It's every single Saturday and this book is all of the fundamentals motivation, methods, mindset, all of the things that are going to get you to the next level of your life. It's very, very well articulated in a simple but powerful way. We pick three of the biggest ideas from each chapter and we all discuss them. Again, similar to the monthly meetups. You can participate as much as you want or as little as you want. You can totally just listen in or you can participate in the chat. You can participate on video and camera or none of the above.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what episode we're going to do tomorrow. Still to this moment, I have a thought. I don't know what I would title it, but you got this.

Speaker 2:

You're a rapper man. Title this thing. You know what? I'm going to freestyle it right here. Huh, give us a quick rap and then the title.

Speaker 1:

No, I have no raps to be.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

You ever just look at the words and you're just like no, it's, yeah, it's that. I see the words, but I can't. There's nothing to do with it. I've been talking a lot. I actually have never said this to another human until this moment, so I haven't been talking. I've been talking internally about this. I was in the shower the other day and I was like I'm logging on with a client today I haven't talked to in a minute. What do I want to talk about? And I said, hmm, I feel like they're struggling with clarity. So I said there's three steps New framework, clarity, implementation, results on a scale of one to 10. How clear are you On a scale of one to 10, how much are you implementing your clarity? And, on a scale of one to 10, how much results you have? Your results will never be more than your clarity slash implementation so we're going to do an episode on that.

Speaker 1:

What is it titled? Clarity, implementation and results? Probably not the three ways to get what you really want. Well, results aren't ways, results are results. That was where my hang up was. Oh yeah, the three key. No, it's two, three, three is the wrong number Two. No, there's three though, I know. But results is a result.

Speaker 2:

Okay, two keys Are you getting what you really want?
