I’m talking about the cartoons you take notes of. That isn’t a bad thing at all. It is just another way that we humans are trying to figure out our own self-awareness. And it’s a good thing.
As you can see, the more time we spend on these “self-aware” cartoons, the more we realize how little we actually know about ourselves.
In our own minds, we imagine that we know how to get to know ourselves better, but in actuality, we don’t. Our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions are what keep us in our current state. The only way to get out of it is to stop trying so hard to become a better person and just let the habits, routines, impulses, and reactions do their thing.
The problem is that we tend to forget those habits, routines, impulses, and reactions (even when we do become aware of them) because our minds are so busy. If we took the time to think about what we are doing or thinking then we could be more aware of what we are doing or thinking so that we can reorient our routines, habits, impulses, and reactions in a way that makes them easier to change.
I wrote a blog post about this a while back. If you’d like to read it you can go here. It’s a good way to take a day or two to really think about all the things that we do in our lives, and how much we can change.
The reason is that the more we are aware that we are doing or thinking something, the more that we can change it. That way we’re more aware of what we are doing in our lives and more likely to be more present in the world.
And that’s where the ability to take notes comes in. Taking notes is a way to not only increase awareness, but also to make it easier to change our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions. The more you do this, the more you can make it harder to act out of line. This is why I am a fan of the quote above. Because it teaches us to take action when we are aware that we are but not aware.
Now if you are the sort of person who takes notes on a regular basis, your brain will automatically take notes when its in a good mood. And when in a bad mood, it will take notes to remember itself. This is why I love my iPhone so much. I take a lot of notes.
You will also take notes for a variety of reasons: to remember to take notes, to remember to take a nap, to remember to take a shower, to remember to take a shower, to remember to take a shower. But I can’t think of a single reason why we would ever take a shower if we were to take notes.
I just hate taking notes. I wish I would have been more creative when I was an introvert. I don’t remember taking a bath, I’m sorry. I really don’t. That would have been a big reason for taking notes in the first place. But I’m sure you’re not the only one.
