his and hers sinks

I see this phrase a lot on my Instagram and Facebook feeds. I suppose you could call it self-awareness. I see it as a mixture of self-awareness and self-consciousness.
In order to be in the “know” about the world we live in and to be able to recognize the self-awareness we need to develop, we need to be aware of our own thoughts, actions, and feelings. This is why people who are self-aware (and who don’t just live one life-style) are able to exercise meta-cognition.
Meta-cognition is the ability to recognize patterns in our own thoughts and behavior. For example, I can recognize that I’m having a conversation with a friend on Facebook, or that I’m watching TV. I can also recognize that all of those actions or thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are all related to knowing about myself. It’s actually the ability of the brain to recognize patterns and relationships that are the basis of self-awareness.
Meta-cognition is one of the core components of self-awareness. You do not have to be born knowing you’re a genius (your life will be fine) to take self-awareness seriously. The key is knowing how to recognize your own patterns, thoughts, and behaviors and changing them as often as possible. You don’t have to be a master of everything to be aware of what you’re doing.
The other key to self-awareness is knowing how to recognize the patterns of your own behavior. You have to know what your own patterns are, what they look like, and what they sound like. Because as hard as it is to change the patterns of your own behavior, it’s easier to change them if you recognize the patterns of your own behavior.
You must also know how to recognize patterns in other people. You must be able to tell when someone is trying to change them in a negative way. Or when they are trying to do the same thing over and over, but the pattern is getting worse.
In the new Deathloop trailer you learn that the pattern of Colt’s behavior is the exact opposite of the pattern of the Visionaries. They want to be left alone, and they want to change. The pattern of Colt’s behavior is the exact opposite of the pattern of the Visionaries. He is trying to change, but the pattern is getting worse.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a trailer that is so much fun to watch. We’ll see if this trailer is any indication of how Deathloop will be a fun game. I’m also interested in how many more of these things Arkane will come out with, as well as how much time we’ll have to spend in Arkane’s offices to get a good look at this game.
Arkane is releasing a game for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac sometime in January. So far, the PS3 version looks to be the most polished and impressive to date, so I think we can expect a lot of interesting features and a lot of gameplay here.
We can probably expect a lot of things from this game. I can’t wait to play it. Just like how I was pretty excited to start Darkstalkers for the PC, I can’t wait to start this game.
