The Power of Self-Awareness with Ryan Hennessy of Picture This

Self-awareness is power. It has the power to change things that we think are written in stone. It can shine a light on our behaviour and remove the self-judgement that holds us back, which stops us from appreciating and enjoying all that life has to offer.

The great news is – it’s not hard to find! Sometimes one conscious breath can be enough to tune us in to ourselves and snap out of the busyness inside our heads.

This week’s guest, Ryan Hennessy, is the front man for Irish music sensation Picture This. They have had two number one albums, have gained over 450 million total streams and are selling out stadiums including a five-night stand at Dublin’s 3Arena, with more to come later this year. They’ve also headlined Electric Picnic’s Main Stage twice and sold out their European tour in 20 minutes. They have a brand new album launching April 26 called Parked Car Conversations. Ryan has also produced a book of poetry called Syncopated Blue and is one of the most interesting, humble and authentic fellas I’ve ever met.

In this discussion we explore things like:

What is self-awareness?

What happens if we’re not self-aware?

How can it help us deal with criticism?

Can self-awareness help us stop beating ourselves up?

What exercises can I do to feel a bit more excited by life?

I’ll also share with you my experience of gaining self-awareness through meditation and guide you through some simple steps to cultivate it in your life.

We’ve also got a special longer guided meditation to get you started on the path to feeling more tuned in and up for the craic!
