Relationships: What Causes Caretaking Behaviour?

While relationships can be a combination of both giving and receiving, they can also end up being out of balance. It is then no longer an adult to adult relationship; it is something that takes on the characteristics of a parent-child relationship. This might create the impression that they are therefore functional and healthy; especially if this brought to mind a child that is loved cared for by its parent. However, other than the fact that each person is not on the same level, it has no connection to parent–child relationship.

Happiness: Is Life Too Short To Be Unhappy?

If someone had to choose between feeling happy or feeling unhappy it is clear that in most cases they would choose the first option. When one is happy, not only will their inner world change, it is also going to have an effect on their outer world. This inner change will cause their behaviour to change and how they perceive the world around them is also going to change. And through feeling different and perceiving the world around them differently, it is going to have an effect on how other people respond to them.

Abandonment: Does The Fear Of Being Abandoned Cause You To Please Others?

When it comes to pleasing others, ideally, this will be a choice and not something one feels they have no control over. If one feels that they always need to please others, it is going to interfere with their ability to listen to their own needs and emotions. And when one feels the need to please others, it could be the result of what is taking place exte ally and internally. If one feels this pressure on the inside, they are likely to project their inner experience onto the outer world.

Childhood Abandonment: What Are The Consequences Of Childhood Abandonment?

During the first few years of one’s life, they are emotionally dependent on their caregivers. And so it is vital that they are not left alone for prolonged periods of time, because if they are left it can be extremely overwhelming and therefore traumatising. But this doesn’t mean that one’s caregivers had to physically leave them in order for one to feel abandoned, as they could have been nearby. So they could have been physically present, but emotionally absent. What matters is having a caregiver that is emotionally aware and in tune.

Being Present: Can Trapped Grief Stop Someone From Being Present?

If one is into fashion, they will know that the current trend will soon change and end up being replaced by another trend. And while this could be a new trend, it could also be one that was around in the past. So upon reflection, one could say that fashion is like the weather as it is constantly changing. Yet even though it does change, there are only so many variations available. There is then a wide range of possibilities, but certain guidelines will need to be followed. Stimulation

Truth: Why Do Some People Find It Hard To Speak Their Truth?

Although everyone has their own truth on this planet, it doesn’t mean that each one of them finds it easy to express their truth. And this includes what one says to others and what one says to themselves. There will be things that one needs to say to another or others and there will also be certain things that one needs to listen to from within.

Defence Mechanism: Denial

Defence mechanisms are used to stop the ego mind from becoming overwhelmed, as if they were not utilised, the mind may not be able to cope with the pain that is arising. So they are not good or bad or right or wrong, they simply there to ensure that one survives. Denial will be used during moments when the pain that one is experiencing is too much to handle. And while this can last for a short while and then come to an end shortly after, it can also go on to become part of one’s life.

Therapy: Is Your Therapist Invalidating Your Experiences?

When one is suffering from mental and emotional problems and/or has relationship problems, they can end up looking for a therapist to assist them. This could be because they have taken this approach in the past, or it may be due to other reasons. If it relates to other reasons, it could be a sign that someone they know has taken this approach in the past. And through paying attention to what one is going through and/or one opening up about what they are going through, they have made this suggestion. The Best Option

Projection: Do You Project Your Inner Conflict Onto Others?

When it comes to the conflict that is taking place in the exte al world, one only needs to look or to listen and they will soon be aware of what is taking place. Now this could relate to something that is taking place in front of them or something that is happening on the other side of the planet. The media, for instance, always covers different events that demonstrate the conflict that is taking place locally and globally. And as there is so much conflict, the media can only focus on certain events and as to why they focus on one event and not another, is another discussion altogether.r

Love Or Control: What Would You Choose?

In today’s relationships what is often classed as love is nothing more than control. The desire to control another person and their behaviour then becomes more important than it is to love and honour the other person. The question is: what would make a person want to control another? If they truly loved them wouldn’t they want them to be free and to do what was best for them? Love

Anger: Can The Fear Of Abandonment Stop Someone From Getting Angry?

In today’s world, it could be said that there are certain emotions that are seen as acceptable and some that are not. And what is seen as acceptable to one gender is not necessarily seen as acceptable to the other. While a woman can come across as being sad without being judged, if a man was to come across in the same way, there is a strong chance that he would be labelled as being ‘weak’. Just as if a man was to come across as angry it might be seen as normal and yet if a woman was angry, there could be a difference response.

Meaning: Where Does Our Meaning Come From?

What is classed as meaningful can vary from person to person. It is not something that is set in stone or fixed. The meaning that one has in life can change as one grows older and has different experiences. The countries and cultures of the world can have meanings that are vastly different to each other. Men and women of the past had meanings that were radically different to each other and as time has gone by; their meanings have become less defined. Meaning

Music: Can Music Trigger Grief?

In some shape or form, music has been around for thousands of years and while there are styles around today that weren’t around in the past, it still has the same effect. When it comes to making music today, electrical equipment is often used and this has allowed people to create sounds that didn’t exist before. This is the case when it comes to the mainstream music, but the there are still many styles that don’t rely on modern-day technology. There are also styles that merge new technology with technology that has been around for a while.

Positive Thinking: Can Positive Thinking Cause Someone To Become Emotionally Disconnected?

If one is into self-development, positive thinking is going to be something they are familiar with. But even if this isn’t the case, this is still likely to be something that one is familiar with. It could be something they have heard of and that’s about as far as it goes, or it could be something that defines their life. This is going to mean that some will use it periodically and others will use it practically all the time.

If someone has anxiety problems, they may have a strong need to find a way to change their life. Then again, they could simply tolerate what is taking place and do the best that they can to keep it together. Undoubtedly, it is going to be far better if someone has a strong need to change their life. Naturally, they are far more likely to find the assistance that they need if they are this way.

Pain And Suffering: Do We Benefit From It?

I have recently been asking the question: why is it that we are so consumed with the pain of the world and at the same time run away from our own pain? Could it be that the very reason we have become so obsessed and addicted to the media, soaps, gossip and other such things, is due to us running away from what is really going on within us? What is really causing us pain?

Relationships: Why Do Some People Find It Hard To Be Serious?

There are times in life where it will be important for one to be serious and then there will be times when this is not the case. If one was to come across as one way all the time, they are going to be out of balance. However, this doesn’t mean that one is going to spend half of each day being serious and the other half being unserious. It will all depend on what is taking place in their life and how one needs to respond to what is occurring. A Choice

But even if they don’t use social media, it doesn’t mean that they will have missed out on this. Another Way

Music: Is Music Important?

For some people, music is a vital part of life. It is there when they are feeling up and during those moments when they are feeling down. It is then not just a nice addition and something they simply enjoy, it as much a part of their life as breathing is. And while one can feel let down by others from time to time or even as a way of life, music is always there for them. Demands are not made and obligations are nowhere to be seen; one is given what they need without anything being asked of them or anything being taken away.

There will be certain things that are given exposure and it won’t matter what is taking place in the world. There may be the odd occasions where these areas are overshadowed for a short period of time, but this won’t be for long. Point Of Focus

Relationships: Why Do Some Breakups Hurt So Much?

One may experience the end of a relationship without experiencing too much pain or they could experience immense pain and suffering when a relationship comes to an end. It could then be hard to comprehend what is taking place and why this person is having this affect. And it doesn’t even need to be one that was fulfilling; it could have been average or even abusive for instance. It also doesn’t need to be one that lasts that long, as it could last for only a short period of time and still result in pain being created. The Common Reasons

Emotional Depth: Can Embracing Our Pain Lead To Greater Emotional Depth?

Although some people have the ability to feel every emotion on the spectrum, there are others who are only able to express certain emotions. This is similar to how some people can speak a language fluently and others can only speak a few words, if that. The person who can speak a language fluently is going to be in a far better position than the person who can’t. They will be better equipped in their conversations with others and this is because not only will one be able to understand what others are saying, they will also be able to express themselves.

Relationships: Are Rebound Relationships A Bad Idea?

When someone goes from one relationship to another, they are often described as having a rebound relationship. And this can takes place within a very short time of one ending and the other beginning; so there is very little time in between each one. This could be a relationship that has lasted for a matter of months or it could have been one that has lasted for many years. So there is no time limit when it comes to someone having a rebound relationship.

The Truth: What Does Your Ego Believe To Be True?

There are often many descriptions of what truth is and what truth is not. Absolute truth is often used when it comes to religion or spirituality. These are all fascinating areas to study and to then form one’s own opinion. And there is also another form of truth; which comes from the ego mind. This is where absolute truth can come into the equation; because the ego mind only sees in polarities. So this means that whatever the ego mind perceives as the truth will not be open to interpretation. It will be something that is completely black and white.

True-Self: Why Do Some People Lose Themselves Around Others?

When one is in touch with themselves and they feel safe enough to express who they are, there will be no reason for them to put on an act. How they come across on the outside is going to match up with who they are on the inside. Now and Then Or, if they do put on act, it is going to be something that rarely takes place. As a result of this, it is going to be a lot easier for them to handle the moments when they are unable to be themselves.

Comparison: Should We Compare Ourselves With Others?

It could be said that comparing oneself with another is a natural part of living in the modern day world. And it is also true that this doesn’t necessarily have to be something that is negative or disempowering. There are of course certain comparisons that can be made, without ones wellbeing being affected. One can compare themselves with others as a way to improve on what they do and as inspiration. They also allow one to make sense of the world and are vital for survival.

Conditioning: How Do We Change Our Conditioning?

While we would like to see ourselves as human beings who have control over how we behave, this doesn’t always reflect reality. Because although one has the ability to think before they act, they can also act without thinking. And this is not ‘bad’ per se; it can enable one to save a lot of time and energy. To always have to think about such things as how to open a door or what do when red lights appear when one is driving, would add so much more confusion and effort into ones daily life.

While having emotional stability is the ideal, it is not something that everyone can relate to. But this doesn’t mean that the people who do experience emotional stability are always stable and go through life unscathed. To be human means that we are emotional beings and so unless one has become emotional numb and cut off, they are going to experience emotional ups and downs. This is part of life and not something one should try to deny.

Communication: Is Listening Important?

For some people, talking will be something they enjoy doing and this will be balanced out by their ability to listen. But there will also be people who are good at either talking or listening and yet, they will fall down when it comes to the other option. This is going to mean that they are out of balance. If someone always talks and doesn’t listen, they are going to be perceived in a certain way by others. This could mean that other people admire their ability to communicate, and it could also mean that other people see them as being self centred.

And if one feels practically paralyzed by this voice, then it is only natural that some kind of solution is going to be sought. This might be something that happens fairly quickly, or it could take a while. And changing ones inner voice from one that is critical and harsh to the opposite of this usually takes a while.

It could all depend on how they feel internally and on the effect the other person has on them.

That is, as long as they are prepared to put the work in. Whereas, when someone doesn’t expect much from life, they probably won’t receive much.

Thus, this could cause one to create a bad impression, and other people are unlikely to respond in a positive manner.

So here, one will create all kinds of associations in their mind and attach these to the other person. The other person may even posses one of these associations or a couple of them. And this can then lead to many other associations being formed and projected onto them.
