For myself, awareness of self, genesis of self through time and
   the slow dissolving of unconscious fictional self-images and the
   growth of a new model of self-image that is based upon a variety
   of potential futures of past selves within my timeline (roads
   not traveled), informed by my present self (while attempting to
   create a 'present' self-image that is accurate in as many
   regards as is possible for me) - and projections into my
   possible futures from this point forward.

   I do this by noticing.
