The Mind Solution PodcastWhy Self Awareness is The New Super Power in The WorkplaceWhy Self Awareness is The New Superpower in The Workplace We like to believe that we're in control of our lives — that we're consciously choosing how we respond, what we think, how we behave. But here's the truth: more than 95% of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are driven by unconscious conditioned responses. And if you can't see those responses? You can't change them. That's why self-awareness isn't a nice-to-have — it's a superpower. It's the only way to interrupt those automatic patterns that keep you in emotional loops like anxiety, self-doubt, and impostor syndrome. And...
