Step 4 to Create an Invincible Attitude:
Practice Self-Awareness

The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. - J. Krishnamurti

Why is self-awareness important in preparing to fight a bully?

Because your primary weapon in fighting a bully is YOUR ATTITUDE. If you want to succeed, you don't have the luxury of being unaware of your own strengths, weaknesses, limitations and vulnerabilities.

A bully studies your weaknesses and uses them to control you. You can only get the upper hand if you become aware of your weaknesses and work through them and around them.

Self-awareness is the foundation for becoming a powerful fighter. To achieve self-awareness, you must pay attention to your own emotions, attitude and behaviors, particularly in relationship to other people.

Don't worry about fixing your faults. Negative emotions and vulnerabilities tend to dissipate under the scrutiny of self-awareness. Then you become free to focus your energies in a positive way.
