Applications - Self Awareness

To be more self aware, I think what I really need to do is communicate better with those I trust. I'm finding that many of the times I lose my focus to my weaknesses it is because I have shut myself off from talking about what is causing me to shut down. By seeking these points of objectivity that know who I am as a person and know the full honest me, they can help me realize what I would say to myself; that is, what a calm and objective me would say to the me that is unable to rise above his failings.

If I can learn to adjust this, I think I can also learn to adjust how I apply myself to my strengths. I can make them more efficient without having to get into my downwards slope of becoming too detail oriented.
