Couldn't agree more. I feel that this is essential when really trying to master awareness. You have to make it a "Second Nature" type of thing, as well as a mindset. Practice is useless when you keep forcing your mind to do be aware, you have to take the patient route and eventually your awareness will come on its own, and not only that, but when it does come naturally after some practice, that awareness will automatically be molded to fit you perfectly. My point is Zangetsu, be patient with this man, and you will reap the rewards after some time.
