I wanted to write what @eddiecorbyn wrote, to which I am very grateful!

I suggest two simplest and most effective way to reach awareness through self-observation, that I have personally experienced obtaining excellent results.

1. A best seller, that teaches it, is "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.
   If you haven't already do it, read it: it will open your mind!
   If you've already read it long ago, read it again: every time, you'll capture aspects that had escaped you before.

2. If you want to pass intensely to practice, a 10 days Vipassana meditation course - if you are sufficiently motivated to complete it - will definitely change your life for the better.

Best wishes, and let me know... thank you! ;)
