Self-Awareness is Tough! Fortunately, Our Tradition Helps

There are three steps in the ancient prayer of self-awareness and self-disclosure (confession).

Step 1: We pay attention to our negative emotions

Step 2: We undertake a thorough self-examination

Step 3: We engage forthright self-disclosure

The second step is tough! It’s hard to see what is going on in us under the surface. Fortunately, our tradition has left us some tools to help.
