Be As You Are by Fritz Perls

• ~~ ✰~~
Be as you are
And so see who you are
and how you are
Let go for a moment or two
of what you ought to do
and discover what you do do
Risk a little if you can
Feel your own feelings
Say your own words
Think your own thoughts
Be your own self
Discover
Let the plan for you
grow from within you

AND OTHER SOURCES OF SELF-AWARENESS
Adam Blatner, M.D.

"Part of self-awareness

involves learning

to separate

out the baby

from the bath-water,

what to keep

and what to let go of. 

Some of your reactions

are clues to

present perceptions,

and

you should learn to notice all of them.

But you need not believe

all that you feel.

The key to self-management

is disconnecting from automatic responses,

so that you retain the choice

as to whether or not you believe every thought

that pops into your head,

or think that

every feeling you experience

is valid.

Sometimes it is,

sometimes

it isn’t"
