Confidence is important in every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. It's a world-wide problem that people of all ages, genders and races can have. Our confidence is perfectly intact when we are born, but diminishes during our childhood. We lose a little of it when we make mistakes, fail, misbehave, get in trouble, feel guilty, neglect ourselves, and/or do things we are ashamed of. As we all know, kids can be mean.

Enlightenment, a term more common in the eastern world rather than the western, describes an awakened spiritual state of consciousness where one is liberated from the illusions of the 3-dimensional world, freed from the limitations of physical, emotional, and mental pain and suffering based on attachment. One is released from the bondage of desire and attachment to people, things, beliefs, achievements, etc., experiencing an expanded state of oneness with the whole of creation.

Ask any second grade class of students, "Do you love yourself?" and most children will raise and wave their hands and say, "Yesss!" By high school that number has taken a considerable dive. Developmentally the adolescent's job is to begin separating from the family to become an independent individual capable of making choices and being able to take care of her or himself. This is difficult to do when one is emotionally hurting and has self esteem issues.

Joy brings more light into our lives. No matter the circumstances you have drawn into your life, pay attention when you catch yourself smiling and enjoying the small stuff. As we learn to focus on the simple pleasures already happening, the easier it is to let go of allowing the unpleasant things to spoil our day. It lightens us every time we enjoy a flower or sunset, hug a loved one, say hi to a smiling neighbor, pet our dog or cat, or make eye contact with a child at the grocery store. This joy in the moment transfers to building a positive mindset, which affects how we live our day.

Perfectionists often use negative self-talk and measure their worth by how well they do things in a perfect manner. They often think things like: • “I can’t make a single mistake. Everything has to be just right.” • “There is only one right way to do things to make them the best.” • “People won’t accept me if I make any mistakes.” • “I don’t need help from others - I can do better than they can.”

People with high self-confidence naturally have optimistic and joyful emotions as well as the knowledge that they can change their emotions from negative to positive. You can’t be down in the dumps and have high self-confidence at the same time. The two don’t mix. Emotions are a normal part of life. They indicate how you feel about a situation and any needed actions. When you have high self-esteem and self-confidence, you radiate joy and feel good about life, both about your own life and life in general. You feel secure and have an open heart and calm mind.

As a human being, one has the ability to lift others up and make their life easier, or they can pull others down and make their life harder. There are going to be some people who generally fit into the first category and then there will be others who generally fit into to the second category. However, to say it is something that is completely black and white wouldn’t necessarily be accurate. This is because there will be some people who will have a positive influence on other people’s lives at certain times and then there will be moments when they don’t.

One of the greatest needs a human being has is to be accepted for who they are. But while this is the case, it doesn’t necessarily mean that one has been able to fulfil this need or that they believe it is even possible for them to fulfil it. If people were generally encouraged to be themselves it would be a lot easier for them know that they can be accepted for who they are. What can make it so challenging is that there is a lot of pressure on people to be who other people want them to be.

If one has the need to change their self-image, they might end up using affirmations. This could be because someone else has recommended this approach, or it could be something they have decided upon. However, although one may have decided to use them, it doesn’t mean that they will have looked into the other options that are available.

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.

In order for something to grow and develop, it will be important for the right conditions to be in place. This is something gardeners understand and as a result of this, they are able to create the right conditions for seeds to grow, among other things. Without this understanding, it wouldn’t be possible for them to get consistent results. And when they don’t get the results they want, they might end up putting it down to bad luck or end up blaming something.

To be seen and recognised is something that most human beings want to experience. And while this is part of being human and nothing to feel ashamed of, these needs are going to vary from person to person. For some people, receiving a moderate amount of attention will be enough to enhance their wellbeing. This shows that their need for attention is not overly high and it is possible for them to fulfil this need.

There are many things that human beings need in order to feel fulfilled and one of those needs is the need to be seen. This doesn’t mean that they have an inherent need to be ‘famous’ though; it simply means that they need to be noticed by others. And while one could be noticed by others due to what they have achieved, it can also take place regardless of what they have achieved. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether one is being noticed for what they have done or because they have just bought something in a shop. Ultimately, it comes down to being acknowledged by others.

It doesn’t matter whether one is a man or woman, as they can both be walked over by the same or the opposite sex. And while this could relate to someone being physically walked over, in the majority of cases, it is not that extreme. But that is not to say that the damage is therefore less severe. It might take a while for the damage to appear, but it can be just as bad in the long run and even in the short term, depending on what happens.

When one takes responsibility for how they feel, they are going to be seen as mature and self aware. And yet when one doesn’t take responsibility for how they feel in the majority of cases, they are likely to be seen as lacking awareness and being undeveloped. But while an outside observer can label them in this way and see their outlook as being self evident, to the person who doesn’t take responsibility for how they feel, they are likely to feel that they are in the right.

While some people are used to having people walk all over them, there are other people who are used to walking all over others. The former is going to live a life of being violated and compromised, and the latter is going to live a life of violating and compromising others. Now, not everyone is going to have the same boundaries and so one can end up walking over another person without realising it. In this case, it is likely to be something that they do on the odd occasion and not something that is a way of life for them.

In the collective consciousness, there is a general understanding that one needs to protect their property. And this is not because people can’t be trusted or that everyone wants to cause damage. What is often comes down to, is the fact that people need to be informed as to where they can or can’t go.

There are some emotions that are seen as ‘bad’ or ‘negative’ and while this might be the case if they are shown in certain situations, this is not going to apply in others. Every emotion has purpose and a reason for appearing; this not to say that one should act upon every emotion that arises though. There will be times when how one feels has nothing to do with what is taking place. During these moments, it will be necessary to hold the emotional experience. And therefore not to express how they feel and not to repress how they feel either.

When it comes to talking to someone, how we perceive them usually makes all of the difference. If another person is seen as a friend or someone that one has spoken to before, then it is going to make it easier for one to talk to them.

While being compassionate can be seen as the right way to be, it is not always the easiest option. What can be easier is to go to the other extreme and to become indifferent to other people’s problems and the suffering they are going through or have gone through. And not only can one be this way towards others, they can also end up being this way towards themselves; this can cause them to be their own worst enemy. The need could be there for them to be kind and understanding, and yet they end up being critical and even abusive to themselves.

As human beings, we are interdependent and although someone people can come to the conclusion that they are independent, this is just an illusion. They may well be able to support themselves financially, but they are still reliant on other people paying them money. This is clearly different to one person being dependent on other people for money. In this instance, it is a one way process and one is not giving anything in return. When one is being paid for what they give, a mutual exchange is taking place.

It could be fairly subtle in its response or it could end up being overwhelming.

If these are fairly moderate, one might be able to move forward and do what they want do to.

Although feelings can be overlooked and seen as being unimportant, they are a vital part of who we are. They allow us to know what we need and want in each moment of our life, amongst other things. When someone is unaware of how they are feeling, they are disconnected from themselves. Through knowing how one feels, it will allow them to move towards what it is they want in each moment and from life in general, and to move away from what they don’t want in each moment and from their life in general.

After one has certain experiences in their life, they are generally going to feel certain emotions. And as we are all emotional beings, this is normal and what is to be expected. But just because this is normal and part of being human, it doesn’t mean that this is what always takes place. Something can happen in one’s life, and they can end up tying to avoid experiencing the feelings that arise.

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.

If someone was asked what comes to mind when they think about social media, they might say ‘Selfies’. These are rarely pictures that people just take and then share; they are pictures that are usually altered so that they look right and after this has taken place, they are shared with their ‘friends’. The point of focus is not on simply taking pictures; it is for one to ‘look right’. It then doesn’t matter how they feel or whether the image reflects their current experience, what matters is that one creates the right impression. Eating a Meal

While it is relatively easy for someone to share their body with another person, the same can’t be said about their heart. This means that although the need is there for someone to share how they feel with another person, it is not something that always feels comfortable.

It will always be there and all the time it is not being met, it is going to have an impact on one’s life.

Having needs is part of being human and this means that they can’t be overlooked or denied without certain consequences arising. This doesn’t mean that one will always have their needs met; this is not going to be possible. But if one’s life has taken on a pattern where their needs are rarely, if ever met, they are going to suffer. To expect to have them met all the time is also going to set one up to suffer. In order for one to have their needs met, they will need to be aware of what they are. And once they are aware of them, they will need to feel safe getting them met.

But as an adult, one is not dependent on others, in most cases, and this means that they can take care of some of their own needs.

Having needs is part is part of being human and this means they are nothing to be ashamed or something that one should try to remove. If each and every one of us was inherently independent, then we wouldn’t have needs. But as we are all interdependent, it means that we all have needs. However, there is a difference between someone who has needs and someone who is needy. One person is able to get them met and then settle down for a while. The second person may get their needs met, but even when they do; it is still not going to be enough. A Metaphor

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.

This is going to mean that some will use it periodically and others will use it practically all the time.

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

It is important for human beings to work together, and this is because they’re interdependent; they need each other. So when they’re able to put their differences to one side and to find a common ground, their own lives are going to be a lot easier.

But just because someone doesn’t get along with someone else, it doesn’t mean that they have to cause them harm.

And this was all about healing and getting to the root of the issue. After reading this post and going over everything else on the blog; I soon got in touch with Simon.

Although emotions need to flow and to be expressed during moments when it is appropriate; they are often inhibited and denied the chance to be expressed. Now, there will always be times in ones life when it is not appropriate to express them and yet when one is in a different environment, it will be important that they are released and the emotional flow can return.

Over the years, the true self has been used to describe ones true nature and who they really are. On the other hand, the false self represents all that is not true and is made up of illusions. And while deep down one may want to embrace their true self; it is often far from easy and the world generally discourages one from doing so. So this means that very few people take the time or make the effort to know their true self and therefore reveal it to others.

To be human is to be vulnerable, but that doesn’t mean that accepting this is therefore easy. To surrender to this truth can be an incredible challenge; that is if one even wants to. And as a way to avoid this truth, one can create all kinds of walls and defences. But while this may allow one to avoid feeling vulnerable, it can only lead to more pain. I believe that one of our greatest needs is to be who we are. And to do that means being vulnerable. There is no choice in the matter; we cannot be our true self, if we are not willing to be vulnerable.

The power that words have cannot be denied or dismissed. And there are many points and areas to look at when it comes to words. However, the primary focus of this article is going to be the role that the ego mind plays. Words have certain meanings in the dictionary and socially for example; and they can also have a meaning that is subjective to the person that is using them.

Remember the last time you heard a parent say: "My kids are wonderful. They always obey me." Or, "They never talk back." Or, "They are never a problem." Did you sigh with envy and say, "Oh, I wish my kids were like that"? Think again. What would children have to believe about themselves to always obey, never talk back, or never be a problem? I started out as a typical parent who sometimes envied those parents with “perfect” children.

To experience a shift in one’s identity from “self” (one’s body, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behavior) to “SELF” (as consciousness, as a spiritual being) typically requires years of meditation. Some workshops claim to be able to provide that experience in several concentrated days. The Lefkoe Belief Process (LBP) assists people to make that shift in less than 30 minutes the first time and in less than 10 minutes thereafter. For the first 10 years or so after I created the LBP in 1985, the only thing I was aware the Process did was eliminate beliefs.

The fear of abandonment can affect someone's life in many different ways. There is the internal experience and the exte al experience. And this doesn't mean that abandonment actually has to occur, in order for one to feel abandoned.

To be acknowledged, mirrored and validated are psychological needs that we all have. This is a perfectly normal and natural part of being human and something that is vital for mental and emotionally stability. And like most things in life, there can be extremes and when this healthy requirement is taken to the extreme; it can lead to dysfunctional behaviour.

We live in a time where brands are everywhere and there is more or less a brand for everything. From branded water; to branded clothes and anything else that one could imagine. Part of the brand experience is that it creates sense of trust for people; that they can rely on the brand to deliver on its promise. And based on these associations that the brand creates, one can then feel safe through using the brand.

The purpose of ego boundaries is to protect the self. And through having these in place, one will know the difference between who they are and who someone else is. They allow for ones inner space to be protected and looked after. These are not visible to the naked eye like a physical body is. And although everyone has a physical body, it does not mean that everyone has ego boundaries that are invisible. As ego boundaries are what make one feel safe or unsafe and not the physical body itself; it shows how important they are. Muscle Building

After hearing about this film through a friend, I thought it sounded similar to a number of other films that have been released in recent years. The films Push and Jumper came to mind. Now that I have seen the film I believe that it is a metaphor for intention and how intention is what shapes life. It is also about abuse and the consequences that abuse can have. Something it also demonstrates is that in order to have power, one must also exercise responsibility. And perhaps it shows what humane potential is; albeit in an exaggerated form.

When it comes to the psychological development of a child, the needs of the child are of the upmost importance. And not only are they important in the child's journey to becoming a functional adult; as extreme as this sounds, they can also be the difference between whether a child lives or dies. In an ideal world, the child's needs would be met when the child needs them to be fulfilled. But this is something that doesn't always happen and as a result of this, the child's needs often end up being neglected. child Abuse

When it comes achieving psychological well being; validation plays an incredibly important role. This primarily consists of two aspects: On one side this means that one’s thoughts, emotions, feelings and behaviours will be acknowledged and accepted by other human beings; and on the other side that one’s identity is accepted by others. However, what is absolutely clear here, is that it is not possible for ones feelings thoughts, emotions and behaviours to be accepted and acknowledged by every human being and neither is it possible for every human being to accept ones identity.

Without even looking at whether this perception is right or wrong at the moment, it is easy to see that the potential consequences of perceiving life this way are not exactly empowering. Under this perception we can feel like a victim, lose all hope in life and feel that there is nothing we can do.

Because many emotions are caused by beliefs, getting rid of the relevant beliefs can frequently eradicate negative emotions. For example, the belief that “Dogs are dangerous” will result in an emotion of fear when confronting a dog. The belief “People can't be trusted” will result in a feeling of suspicion around people. When the beliefs are eliminated, the emotions usually will be also. There are, however, emotions in adults that appear to be caused by something in addition to beliefs. Getting rid of beliefs sometimes is not enough.

As a result, this is not going to be a relationship that is having a positive effect on her. But, as she will have given a lot and received very little in return, this is to be expected.

If a man is unable to live his own life, due to how focused he is on his mother, it can appear as though she is the main problem. It might even seem as though the only way that he will be free is if his mother passes on. This is something that a woman could say as a result of how caught up he is in his mother’s world. Unless this happens, then, it can appear as though he won’t be able to break away and live his own life. A natural outcome

If a man is overly focused on his mother and neglects himself, it doesn’t mean that his mother will feel uncomfortable with what is going on. Instead, she can believe that he is behaving in the right way. What this can show is that she doesn’t realise that he has his own needs and is here to live his own life.

After a man has become aware of the fact that he is overly focused on his mother and is ignoring his own life, he may also find that he doesn’t have a strong need to do anything about it. If he is single, then, he will continue to suffer, and, if he is in a relationship, his partner will also suffer. But, with that aside, he could wonder why he doesn’t feel a strong need to change his life. He can find that a big part of him is happy to carry on as normal, even though this isn’t truly serving him. The Same Story

A man could have a mother who is unwell or he might not but he could still spend a lot of time doing things for her. From the outside, it can be as though she is his daughter and it is his responsibility to take care of her.

If a woman is with a man who is overly focused on his mother and is out of reach emotionally, she is likely to wonder why she is even with him. Ultimately, he won’t have much time for her and even when he is around, he is unlikely to be very present. Based on how he behaves, it will be clear that he has a number of issues and is not in a position to have an intimate relationship.

What a man may see, if he is overly focused on his mother and is overlooking a number of his own needs is that he has turned his back on himself. It could go further than this, though, as he could see that she expects him to be there for her. Therefore, what could enter his mind is that unless he does something about what is going on, his mother is not going to encourage him to live his own life. As a result of this, the days, weeks, months and years will go by but nothing will change. The Same Story

However, without even going into a common theme when it comes to films, they could live in a society where there are those that are seen as being ‘good’ and those that are seen as being ‘bad’. For example, certain politicians and those that are at the top, so to speak, are often seen as being ‘bad’. It’s clear

Even though someone will have the right to be here and have needs, it doesn’t mean that they will realise this at the core of their being. As a result of this, they can see both themselves and their needs as a burden. However, this could be something that is outside their awareness, which means that they won’t be consciously aware of this. But, if this is the case, what is going on deep down is still going to have a big impact on their life. Super Independent

If during someone’s early years, they missed out on the love that they needed to grow and develop in the right way, it can mean that they are deeply wounded now that they are an adult. But, although this is the case, there is a chance that they won’t have been able to join the dots, so to speak. One can then spend a lot of time feeling down and often criticise themselves, for instance, but not be able to realise why they experience life in this way. In fact, this could just be what is normal, with this stopping them from even thinking about why their life is this way. Another Outcome

In general, someone could spend most of their life doing things, and this can mean that they are fairly ‘successful’. So, they could have a well-paid job, an expensive car, and a big house and they could have a desirable partner. If this is the case, they will look as though they have it all together and they will be seen as having made it. However, there is the chance that although their life looks whole and complete on the outside, they don’t feel whole and complete on the inside. Slightly Different

What someone may find, if they were to step back and reflect on their life, is that they often feel alone, ignored and unsupported. Now, this could be a sign that they don’t have many friends and spend a lot of time by themselves, or it might not be this black and white. If they can relate to the former, it will be clear why they often feel this way. But, if they can relate to the latter, it won’t be as clear why they would often feel this way. Together Alone

Consequently, they are likely to find that they often feel drained and even exhausted. Additionally, they can experience a fair amount of frustration and anger. But, while it will be clear that they are not living in a way that is serving them, they might not be fully aware of how they want to behave. Confused

What can be normal is for someone to feel all at sea internally or to be in a shut down state and unable to feel anything. Experiencing life in this way is likely to make it hard for them to appreciate their time on this planet.

Over two thousand years ago, in a place called Sparta, males were trained from a young age to fight. As part of their training, they went through numerous challenges in order for them to be moulded into warriors.

If a man was to end up in a relationship with a woman who he is very fond of and is starting to love, it doesn’t mean that every part of him will be on board with this relationship. Along with the part of him that feels that he is doing the right thing, can be another part that feels as though he is doing something wrong. This part of him can cause him to feel guilty, ashamed and anxious, and, due to how strong it is, he could start to question if he is doing the right thing.

After a man, who is emotionally entangled with his mother, comes to see what is going on, he could end up having the need to change his life. Before this takes place, though, he could feel deeply frustrated and totally helpless. However, after a while, assuming that this doesn’t take place more or less straight away, he could end up looking for a way to change his life.

If a man typically acts like an extension of his mother, he is likely to seldom if ever truly be seen by her. What this will mean is that she won’t be able to acknowledge that he has his own needs and feelings. It will then be as if the only reason he is on this earth is to be there for her and make sure that her needs are taken care of.

If a man is in a position where he is seldom there for himself and spends a lot of time doing things for his mother, he is going to be depriving himself of what he needs. Based on how he behaves, it will be as though he doesn’t have many needs. However, although this is something that may stand out to the outside observer, it doesn’t mean that this is something that he will be aware of.

For someone to live a fulfilling life, they will need to be connected to their body and be in touch with their needs and feelings. The reason for this is that by being connected to themselves, they will be able to take life in, and this connection will provide them with the guidance that they need. However, although this is the optimal way to experience life, it doesn’t mean that someone will be in this position. Instead, they can be disconnected from their body and out of touch with most of their needs and feelings. A Way of Life

If someone was to step back and reflect on their relationships, what might soon stand out is that they have pushed at least one person away. They could find that this person was warm and that the relationship was going well and then, before long, it ended.

However, what might soon stand out is that, at the time, it seemed as though something ‘out there’ was behind what was going on. Two Levels

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for someone to have a strong need to be known by a lot of people. Thanks, in a part, to modern-day technology, there is a myriad of different ways in which someone can achieve this goal.

If someone was abused during their development years, it could take many, many years before they actually realise this. This could seem strange; especially as these early experiences will have had an effect on them. How much of an impact this stage will have had on them is likely to depend on a number of different factors. Firstly, there will be what actually took place and secondly, there will be how they responded to what happened. Two Parts

Although someone is likely to be born with the need to both receive and give love, it doesn’t mean that they will be in touch with these needs now that they are an adult. In fact, they could be unaware of both of these needs. However, even if they are not aware of these needs, a lot of what they do can be a way for them to fulfil one if not both of these needs. What this will show is that even if they are outside of their conscious awareness, it doesn’t mean that they won’t have an impact on their life. An Indirect Approach

One thing that someone could find strange, if they were to spend a fair amount of time around a mother-enmeshed man, is that he is not aware that he is neglecting himself. So, they might have asked him why he is not taking care of a number of his needs and he might have dismissed what they said. This might have been something that has taken place on a number of occasions. It will then be clear to the outsider, whoever that may have, that he is not there for himself but he won’t be able to see this. Business as Usual

Most likely, these will be beliefs that are just outside of his conscious awareness. As a result of this, he won’t realise that what he believes is having a big impact on his life. It can be as though the life he leads is just the way that life is and there is very little that he can do about it. One Step Too Far

What someone may find, that’s if they were to step back and reflect on their life, is that they have the tendency to hide who they truly are. They may even say to themselves that they often wear a mask around others.

Instead, they will automatically play a role, and this could mean that they play the same role or alte ative between a few. Out of Sight

If someone was to see that their early years were not very nurturing, it could take a little while until they feel ready to share what happened with others. As for why it has taken them a little while to see this, this will most likely be due to their conscious mind forgetting all about what happened. To protect them during this brutal stage of their life, their brain would have automatically blocked out what happened. This would have allowed them to keep it together and function, as opposed to them being overwhelmed with pain and their life coming to an end. A Big Step

One of the challenges with early abuse and neglect is that by the time someone is an adult, they can have no recollection of what took place at this stage of their life. This is not to say that once they get to this stage of their life, they will have chosen to block it out. No, what it comes down to is that from an early age, their brain will have automatically blocked out what took place in order to protect them. This is then something that would have taken place throughout their early years. An Analogy

During this time, what they experienced as a child may have been completely hidden from their conscious awareness. Covered Up

For some people, feeling safe is just going to be part of life and this is likely to allow them to embrace life. However, for others, this is going to be something that they seldom experience and, due to this, it will be a challenge for them to embrace life.

His priority could just be to share his body with other women and this could be something that he wants to do on a regular basis. Then again, sharing his body with an endless amount of different women might not appeal to him. He might just prefer to share it with a few different women or just one woman. In The Same Boat

Now that a man is in a relationship, he may find that he has the tendency to swallow his words and not to express how he really feels when he is with his partner. In fact, he might not even be aware of how he feels a lot of the time. As a result of this, it is not going to be possible for him to fully show up and his true self will spend a lot of time in hiding. This could mean that he will spend a lot of time feeling frustrated and helpless. Covered up

What can be normal is for a man to be drawn to women who are not in a good way and want someone to look after them. This can mean that if he is not in a relationship with a woman who is like this, he is likely to have a number of female friends who are. At the same time, even if he is in a relationship with a woman who is like this, he can still have a number of female friends who are. In so, a lot of his time and energy will be spent being there for women. A Superhero

If a man is in a position where he is emotionally entangled with his mother, it is likely to stop him from living his own life. Instead of being aware of his own needs and doing what he can to meet them, he is likely to be focused on his mother's needs and do what he can to meet them. As a result of this, most of his time on this planet will be spent doing things for his mother. In general, apart from his basic needs, most of his needs will probably be overlooked. It's Invisible

During the beginning of a relationship, a man can look forward to spending time with his partner. So, when he is not with her, he can spend a fair amount of time thinking about her and the moments that they have shared and will share in the future. This will be a time when he experiences positive feelings and thoughts. Then, when he is actually with her, he is likely to effortlessly experience more positive thoughts and feelings.

After a woman comes to see that she has ended up with a man who is overly preoccupied with his mother and is neglecting his own needs, it is to be expected that she would want him to change. Not only will the above be taking place but she will also be being neglected. Consequently, she will be in a relationship but it won’t be much of a relationship as her partner won’t really be available. So, she can do just about everything that she can to get the man to change. The First Step

After a woman has been in a relationship with a mother-enmeshed man, she is unlikely to be in a very good way. Not only can she be in a lot of pain but she can also have a number of questions. Perhaps she was with a man like this for a number of months or maybe her time with him lasted even longer. The longer she spent with him, the more pain she is likely to be in and the more questions she may have. Inner Conflict

If a man was to come to see that he is in a position where he is overly preoccupied with his mother’s needs, he is like to wonder what is going on. He could also see that he has been this way for as long as he can remember. This will also mean that he is unlikely to have much of a life himself but, if so much of his time and energy has been directed towards his mother, this is to be expected. Naturally, in order for him to have a fulfilling life, he will need to focus on his own life. Resistance

If a man spends a lot of time doing things for his mother, he can come across as though he has no needs. Unlike a lot of people on the planet, then, he will be a selfless human being. By being this way, not only can his mother provide him with a lot of approval, plenty of other people can too. Therefore, he can be used to receiving a fair amount of positive feedback from others.

Based on how a man, who is entangled with his mother, behaves, it can be as if he is his mother’s parent. So, regardless of whether or not he is actually a parent, he will certainly act like one. As a result of this, he will spend a lot of time and energy doing things for his mother and focusing on her. Due to how he behaves, he will create the impression that he is a selfless human being.

Although a man is on this planet to live his own life, if he is emotionally entangled with his mother, this won’t take place. Instead, just about his whole life can revolve around her, with him neglecting himself in the process. This whole scenario can make absolutely no sense whatsoever to some people and, if he is in a relationship, his partner can be totally baffled. She might not understand why a man would be this way and not feel the need to change his behaviour. The Norm

If a woman has been with at least two men who were heavily caught up in their mother’s world, she could be totally confused and well and truly fed up. In all likelihood, she is likely to want to be with a man who is available. But, although she will want to be with a man who is like this, she will have been with a number of men who are the complete opposite. At this point, she could be losing hope and question if she will ever find a man who is able to have a real relationship. Looking for Answers

If a man is overly focused on his mother and neglects himself, it might appear as though he has chosen to be with way. After all, he will be an adult so it’s not as if he won’t have a choice when it comes to how he behaves. Not only this, but if he was asked about this, he could also say that he wants to be there for his mother and that he is not being forced. At this point, someone on the outside could wonder what is going on. A Strange Scenario

Regardless of if a mother-enmeshed man comes across as strong and appears to have it all together, it is unlikely that he will feel strong and capable on the inside. Behind the mask that he may wear is likely to be someone who feels the complete opposite.

If a woman was to end up in a relationship with a man who is emotionally entangled with his mother, she could struggle to understand what is going on. It could seem strange as to why a grown man is so focused on his mother. As he is a man, not a boy, there is going to be no reason for him to be this way. Now, this is not to say that he should turn his back on his mother, that’s unless she is totally toxic; it means that his life shouldn’t resolve around here. A Frustrating Time

Although a man will have his own needs to meet, he could spend most of his time meeting his mother’s needs. As a result of this, he is going to neglect most, if not all of his own needs. However, this is something that can take place without him even being aware of the fact that he is largely neglecting himself. So, in general, he could meet his basic needs, such as his need to sleep and eat. Totally Disregarded

What can be normal for a man is for practically his whole life to revolve around his mother. This means that a number of his needs, along with his feelings, will be overlooked, with him putting a number of his mother’s needs first.

What someone may find is that it is typically a challenge for them to not only listen to their needs but to also fulfil them. In general, they could overlook them and go along with what another person wants and/or what they think they want.

Although someone will have been given life and will have the rest of their life ahead of them, it doesn’t mean that they will be able to make the most of the life that they have been given or appreciate that they have more years to live. Instead, they could generally see life as a burden and be happy for it to come to an end. This can show that they have the tendency to feel very low and depressed, and often think of ending their life.

While there are those who lack the ability to observe themselves and need to take the time to develop this ability, there are those that don’t. When someone has this ability, it could show that they have spent a fair amount of time meditating.

Thanks to how someone typically experiences life, they can have what could be seen as a fairly troubled existence. Then again, it could be even worse than this as their life could be extremely difficult.

When it comes to experiencing change, it is often said that self-awareness is essential. The reason for this is that if one is not aware of what is going on for them, how will they be able to change their life?

Although there are certain feelings that someone can acknowledge, there are others that they can avoid. For example, if they were to experience anger, they could allow themselves to feel this feeling.

At this point, you might wonder how the former has got anything to do with the latter. Perhaps the reason why I was able to see this connection is that I have removed a lot of weeds over the years. Many years ago, I worked at a crematorium and I also took care of a few gardens. Moving On

Yet, when they do have what they need and want, they can experience a sense of guilt and shame. A lot of pressure

In the book ‘Manhood’ by Steve Biddulph, there is a section where he says that “a deep aversion to shame has become wired in to male biology.” The reason that is put forward for is that “throughout history, women are most sexually attracted to high-status males”. What this means is that if a man experiences shame, it will be interpreted to mean that his status is lower than other men’s. The outcome of this is that he won’t be seen as sexually attractive to women, which will stop him from being able to attract a mate and pass his genes on. An Unconscious Process

A number of weeks ago I watched “A Dangerous Method” and this was about a stage of Carl Jung’s life. Watching this film gave me the urge to find out more about him and since that time, a number of his quotes have caught my attention.

There will be times when it is possible for someone to know what another person’s needs are and times when it won’t be. That is, of course, unless someone has the ability to read minds; if they do, they will always know.

If they don’t do this, it will be normal for a lot of their needs to go unmet and they might try to do just about everything by themselves. A Key Ability

Even if someone doesn’t pay much attention to what is taking place in the mainstream media, they are likely to have a heard that a black man in America was killed by a white policeman and be aware of the protests that have ensued. These are protests have taken place throughout America and in other countries around the world. When it comes to why this individual was killed, it has been said that it was purely because of the colour of his skin.

If someone was asked if they could remember a time when the mainstream media has lied, it might not take them long to think of something. In fact, a number of examples of when this has taken place could enter their mind. As a result of this, they might not simply accept what this source comes out with; preferring to question what they are told. They could believe that no matter how convincing something may appear to be, it doesn’t mean that it is true. An Important Lesson

Nowadays, most people live in countries that provide around the clock news coverage. Thanks to this, there is no reason why any of the citizenries who live in a country like this need to miss out on what is going on. When someone pays attention to the mainstream news source, or even an alte ative news source, they are going to be observing what is going on ‘out there’. In other words, what is going on won’t have anything to do with them. The Experience

For many years now, mindfulness, like yoga, has been the in-thing, and it can seem as though just about everyone is using this technique. In some cases, it is basically seen as a panacea; something that will solve every ill under the sun. Some people use this technique at home, while others use it when they are at home and at work. If they do use it at work, it could be because there are special rooms where they can use this technique. Anywhere Will Do

For many, many years now, it has been said that the world is ruled by a small group of people. Some of the people who have been talking about this for decades have even become household names.

Just as someone can need to eat certain things to function at their best, they can also need to do certain things to be able to feel empowered. As a result of this, if they don’t do certain things, they won’t be able to feel strong and alive. However, if someone has felt disempowered for a while or for their whole life, they might not realise this. How they experience life will have just become the norm, meaning that they could be completely consumed by what is taking place Stepping Back

If someone is spiritual, it can mean that they are ‘in this world but not of this world’ and have a deeper connection to themselves and nature. They will know that there is more to life than what their five senses would have them believe. So, while their mind, along with their eyes, will create the impression that they are separate from everyone and everything, they will know that this is just an illusion. Through having this understanding, they will be less likely to get caught up in what is going on exte ally and do their best to be kind to others and the earth.

What a man could see, if he was to take a step back and to reflect on his life, is that he finds it hard to get things done and is often passive. Along with being this way, he could find that he spends a lot of time feeling depressed. So, instead of being able to ‘take life by the horns’, so to speak, he will find it hard to do anything, and, if he does do something, he will find it hard to keep going. In general, it can be as though he is simply on this planet to make up the numbers. An Analogy

If a woman was to talk about what her father was like when she was growing up, she may say that he was very loving and supportive or she could say the complete opposite. Having said that, she may say something in between; saying something that is neither positive nor negative. However, as she will now be a woman and her early years are well and truly behind her, it could be said that it doesn’t matter what this stage of her life was like. Also, there is the chance that the last thing she will want to do is to focus on what happened in the past. The Current Relationship

If someone was to take a step back and to reflect on how they usually feel, what might become clear is that they often feel low and even depressed. This could be how they have felt for as long as they can remember. There could also be moments when they don’t feel anything, which will give them a break from how they feel.

There can be a number of reasons as to why someone would be in a bad way and unable to simply ‘get on with life’ or to ‘put the past behind them.’ Perhaps their early years were very abusive or maybe they experienced a lot of neglect during this time.

If someone was to get to the point in their life where they can no longer carry on living in the same way, they could end up buying a book on self-development or they could find a therapist to work with. What this could show is that their inner world is not as they would like it to be. As a result of this, their outer world is also unlikely to be how they want it to be. Naturally, if they don’t feel good on the inside, it will be a lot harder for them to create a life on the outside that matches up with who they are. The Main Goal

In the world of self-development, it has been said that there is no such thing as a new problem; it is just an old problem that is being played out again. Upon hearing this, someone could find it hard to understand how this is so.

Additionally, they could just have the need to deal with what is going on, not to look back on their past. A Distraction

If someone wants answers and ends up reaching out for support, it will show that they want to find a way to move past the challenges in their life. This could show that they have mental and emotional challenges, along with relationships that are not going as they would like them to go. Perhaps their life has been this way for a number of months or years, or it may have been this way for as long as they can remember.

If a man spends a lot of time doing things for and focusing on his mother, it is likely to mean that he won’t have much of a life. To use an analogy: it will be like he has lent a beam to another person to keep their house in place. As a result of this, his house will be without the support that it needs, and, if it hasn’t completely fallen down, it probably soon will. The difference here is that he might not even realise that he is giving his mother most of his life force and is neglecting himself. Invisible

If a man was able to take a step back and reflect on how behaves, what may come to mind is that his behaviour rarely matches up with what is going on for him. So, when he is around others, he could typically be focused on their needs and be completely out of touch with his own needs. Consequently, it will be normal for him to play the same role around others; a role where he does what he can to please them. In general, however, he could do what he can to please his mother.

If a man was able to take a step back and reflect on his behaviour, he may soon find that he generally hides himself around others and rarely shows up. This will mean that his physical self will be seen but he will be estranged from his inner self. As a result of this, the person who shows up will be a manifestation of what will please others and what he thinks will please others. However, as he will physically be there, it can be normal for others to believe that this is who he is. Hiding in plain sight

This is something that his partner could do, assuming that he is in a relationship.

As a result of this, she is naturally going to feel ignored and unvalued. Standing Her Ground

However, he will deny his own needs and he won’t acknowledge how he truly feels; this is why he will be able to behave in this way. It won’t be that he is consciously choosing to be in denial, though; as he won’t even be aware of what is going on. Hidden

For as long as a man can remember, he may see that he has had the need to focus on his mother and to take care of her needs. Nonetheless, this is unlikely to be something that he consciously thinks about, as it is likely to be something that just happens.

I lifted the book up so they could see the title and their face said it all. I didn’t need to hear this person say anything to know what their thoughts were about this book. Still, they ended up saying that if a book like that actually worked, everyone would be reading it. Nothing New

I have often thought that even though I can say something to someone, it doesn’t mean that they will actually hear what I’m saying. Or to be more precise, they can hear the words that come out of my mouth, but that might be as far as it will go. Due to the experiences they have had on this planet and what certain things mean to them, for instance, the message I was trying to convey may have gone straight over their head. Therefore, even though we spoke the same language, it can be as if was speaking a different language. A Unique Experience

A few weeks ago, while I was waiting for something in a city nearby, I was asked by someone if I had watched the royal wedding. But before I go into what happened next, I want to go into what it was like for me before it took place. The media spent a lot of time talking about what it would be like and there were people around me who also spoke about it. Therefore, the only way it would have been possible for me to get away from it all would have been to go into the middle of nowhere. Another Event

It went on to say that ‘happiness isn’t very good for the economy’ and that, ‘if we were happy with what we had, why would we need more?’ There are a number of other examples that are used, but they all centre around the same point: that the world is set up to make us feel bad.

The other day I was thinking about how there were times when I had come across couples who appeared to be out of balance. When this was the case, it was as though it was more like a parent-child relationship and not an adult to adult relationship. One of them was more like a parent to the other than someone who was in an intimate relationship with them. This would usually mean that one of them believed that it was their job to help or rescue the other and to teach them about more or less everything. A Role

Even though someone has the desire to achieve something it doesn’t mean that they won’t also do things to hold themselves back. The trouble is that they might not be aware of the things that they are doing to undermine themselves.

If the time had come for someone to make a big decision, what they may find is that they end up following their heart. In other words, they will go with what they feel called to do as opposed to doing something out of fear.

What can make it more or less impossible for someone to feel comfortable in their own skin and to be grateful for the life that they have been given is if they feel worthless. Through feeling this way, their life can be unbearable and being alive can feel like a curse, not a blessing. To say that one will just feel worthless, however, might not be completely accurate. The reason for this is that along with feeling worthless, it could be as if this is something that has permeated their whole being. Trapped

In the same way that a house will need strong foundations, a human being will also need strong foundations.

Along with this, there can be all the time that they spend around others on their way to work and on their way home, along with the people that they come across on their way to see friends in the evening and on their way back. Once they get home, they could continue to be stimulated by looking through their Smartphone. The Norm

There are some people who believe that they only have one life, and, once our current life is over, that will be it. If someone has this view, they can believe that someone would need to be crazy to believe anything else. They will have made their mind up and there is not going to be much chance of them changing it. There are then going to be others who believe that this is the view that someone will have if they have a closed mind. A Different Form

While someone will have their own needs, it doesn’t mean that they will pay attention to them. Instead, they can have the tendency to do what other people want and what they think they want. As a result of this, their life is not going to be an expression of who they are. Living in this way may allow them to receive a fair amount of approval but what it probably won’t do is allow them to live a fulfilling life. The Norm

On one side, there are people that are happy to receive but have trouble when it comes to giving, and, on the other side, there are people who are happy to give but have trouble when it comes to receiving. Nonetheless, although both of these types of people are going to experience difficulties, it doesn’t mean that this is something that is widely known. The reason for this is that even if someone does have trouble receiving, this might not stand out. Instead, they can merely be seen as someone who is a ‘giver’ and who cares deeply about other people. From The Outside

I was looking through a newspaper the other day and one thing that caught my eye was an article about the opioid crises. In this article, addiction specialist Dr Robert Lefever, spoke about how so many people are hooked on drugs that are designed to take pain away. When this happens, someone will end up taking them for years instead of a matter of days or weeks. He didn’t blame the drugs companies, though; he pointed the finger at the doctors that are happy to keep prescribing them. A Powerful Figure

It could be said that although rejection is part of life, there are some people who experience it more than others. Now, at times this will be due to how someone lives their life. For example, let’s say that someone is an entrepreneur, who is constantly putting their ideas in front of different people. Someone like this will end up taking more risks (calculated risks), meaning that they are not going to have the same degree of acceptance that they might have if they had a normal job. Dating

There are a number of things that can have a negative effect on a relationship and, while some of these things can be the result of what is taking place within, there can be others that are due to what is taking place without. When it comes to the former, it can be due to inner conflict, with what is taking place between two people causing tension. On the other hand, when it comes to the latter, what is going on exte ally could be creating tension. A New Opportunity

When someone first starts to spend time with another person, they may find that they only experience good feelings. If there are moments when they don’t, these moments may soon pass. The same could also apply when they are not in the other persons company, with this being a time when they will experience good feelings whenever they think about them. If there are moments when they don’t, these moments may also pass before long. A Gradual Change

When someone gets into a relationship, they may believe that they have finally met their match. What they have been through in the past, when it comes to this area of their life, is then going to be well and truly over. At one point, it will have been as though they were on a stormy sea and now, they will be on calm waters. There is then going to be no more bumps - the path in front of them will be completely flat.

It has been said that a key part of someone being able to function at their best is for them to have fulfilling relationships. And, as they are an interdependent human being, this is not exactly a shock. Taking this into account, it will be vital for one to have strong bonds with others if they want to be at their best. This doesn’t mean that they will need to have an army of people around them, though. Quality over Quantity

If someone has the inclination to end up in relationships that are not very fulfilling or are even abusive, it can be normal for them to experience pain. Also, as a result of what keeps taking place, they can come to see themselves as unlucky. This area of their life is then going to be more or less out of their control, meaning that there will be very little that they can do about it. Due to having this outlook, they may even have moments when they will feel like a victim. Exte al Support

If one is used to spending time around people who are abusive, they can come to the conclusion that they are a victim. It is then not that one is playing a part in what is taking place; it is that this is just how their life is. So, while these people will have control over their own life, there is going to be absolutely nothing that they can do to change their life. Consequently, it is likely to be normal for them to feel totally powerless. One Experience

When someone starts to spend time with another person, they might not even think about trying to control what they can or can’t do. In fact, this could be the last thing that is on their mind.

It is likely that just about everyone on this planet enjoys receiving love and affection. Along with this, just as many people are likely to enjoy expressing love and affection.

When someone can express who they are their life is going to be far more fulfilling than it would be if this wasn't the case. Here, one will be able to listen to themselves and they will be able to allow what is going on within them to come out. This will enable them to authentically connect to others, which will make it possible for them to experience real intimacy. Their relationships are then not going to be shallow; they will be full of depth. The Odd Occasion

One thing a woman may find, when it comes to her relationships, is that she has the tendency to be drawn to men who are not very pleasant. As a result of this, she could struggle to understand what is going on. Due to the experiences that she has had with a number of different men, she may believe that she is a victim. There are then going to be men out there who want to cause her harm and there is going to be absolutely nothing that she can do about it. Two Sides

While one could come across another person and not really experience anything, they could come across someone else and it could be as if their whole being has been hijacked. But, even though this is the case, it doesn’t mean that one will see this as a bad thing.

If someone has a friend who is going through a tough time, they could end up telling them what they need to do to get through it. This is then going to be a time when they will try to fix or rescue this person. Simply being there for this person is not going to be enough; they will need to go even further.

Whether one is at university, reading a self-development book, or talking to a friend about what has been taking place in their life, there is a phrase that they could end up hearing. The words that come before or after it could be different but there will be one word that is the same. This could be a time when they will hear the word ‘trigger’ or ‘triggered’ at least once. Before this word become part of some people’s everyday vocabulary, it was generally only heard in a certain context. The Meaning

When a man and a woman are together, and they are both in touch with their power, there will be no need for one of them to try to rescue the other. They will both have boundaries and they won’t be carrying too much baggage. So, instead of seeing each other as competitors; they will be able to truly be there for each other and to offer their support when it is necessary. This will allow them to grow and to develop.

In a relationship, it is not uncommon for one person to be logical and the other to be emotional. It can then seem as though one person provides what the other is lacking, thereby balancing each other out. By themselves they are out of balance, but together, they end up becoming the ultimate team. Perhaps one of them has a job where they primarily use their left brain, while the other has a job where they primarily use their right brain. Two Parts

When someone is in a relationship, they may find that their behaviour doesn’t really change, and that this allows them to carry on as normal. Clearly, their life will be different as they will be with someone, but this won’t have caused them to become someone else. Also, there are still going to be other areas of their life that will interest them. Said another way, their partner is not going to be seen as the centre of their world. A Number of Interests

While there are people who are not interested in trying to rescue or save other people, there are others who are. As a result of this, some people will be repelled by these kinds of people and some will be drawn to them like bees to a honey pot. And no matter what kind of people someone is drawn to, this can be what is normal. What this means is that they won’t need to think about whether or not they should go towards them or move away from them; this is something that will just happen. Less Drama

What one may find is that they are able to feel good themselves, even if they are not in a relationship. It will then be clear that they are not going to be dependent on anyone else in order to experience positive feelings.

It could be relatively easy for them to wait until they meet someone who they actually want to be with. A Different Need

When it comes to someone’s truth, this could be seen as their thoughts, beliefs, feelings and what they sense, among other things.

In the same way that a knife is neither good nor bad, it could also be said that social media is the same. With this in mind, if the former causes harm it will show that it is being used in the wrong way, and, if the later causes harm it will also show that it is being used in the wrong way. However, while someone is likely to have learnt from a young age that a knife can be dangerous, they probably won’t have learnt the same thing about social media. Instead, this may have been something that they have gradually come to figure out for themselves. Another Scenario

My mother was the one who was in control, and this generally took place through making the decisions and keeping people inline through losing her temper. My father, on the other hand, was someone who would typically do as my mother wanted and was the calm one. There was then my sister, who had no trouble expressing herself and losing her temper if she wasn’t happy with something. A Difference

In the beginning of 2012 and throughout 2013, I would often feel flat, and at times, it was a challenge for me to get out of bed in the morning. While this was going on, there was another part of me found it hard to accept how I felt. I believed that I couldn’t allow myself to experience life in this way, and there were a number of reasons for this. Firstly, I had articles to write and books to read; I couldn’t take my foot of the gas, so to speak. A Role

Went I went to a new salsa dancing class in the middle of 2010, there was one woman who caught my eye. And while we were dancing together, I asked her about where she was from and what she did, amongst others things. I was pulled in by her appearance, and her easy going and friendly nature made me want to find out more about her. Once the lesson was over, I asked her if she would like to go for a drink sometime.

Once I had left my job in the beginning of 2012, I needed to take a break. I could no longer handle the amount of stress that I was under and this was one of the main reasons why I had to walk away. Up until this point, I had only written about one or two articles a week. Now that I had more time, I started to write more frequently, and this was a time when I started to become more connected to what I was doing. The Next Level

Towards the end of 2012, I ended up playing five a side football, and this was a time in my life when I was experiencing a lot of anger. It was during this time that I was involved in an altercation. The person who was there to let the players know when they were going on and coming off lost their temper, and I matched up to it. Shortly after this took place, I wondered how this had happened.

After my father had been moved to a closer hospital, towards the end of 2011, we were pleased that it would be a lot easier to visit him. Even so, this was a time when he was on a life support machine, so it wasn’t as if we could have a conversation with him. There were times when I would take my mother up there and at other times, my granddad would also come along. My mother would say things to him, but this wasn’t something that I was able to do.

In the beginning of 2009, I had been working with someone for a little while, and this made me think about what it would be like to work with someone else. This was a time when I was doing a lot work around negative beliefs and past life trauma. What also played a part here was that the person I was working with went away for a number of weeks. I went onto a search engine and found someone who did the same thing, his name was Errol Campbell. It Was Slightly Different

I remember when I was seeing a woman towards the end of 2011, who was going through a challenging time. She wasn’t in a good place, and this meant that I tried to do what I could to help her. This primarily took place through listening to what she had to say and offering advice. I was also going through a challenging time, but I acted as though I had it all together. A Number of Things

For a number of years, I felt extremely motivated when it came to writing articles, and I had a strong need to become a successful author. There was no middle ground; it was a case of hitting the big time or nothing at all. When I was able to take a step back and to look into why I was behaving in this way, I found it hard to understand what was going on. This wasn’t something that I did very often, though, as I was so caught up in my need to be a success. My Definition

In 2012, I started to read books on child abuse, and the only time that I had read anything like this before was in 2009, when I read the book ‘Toxic Parents’ by Susan Forward. So, up until this point, I had primarily been reading books on self-development. As far as I knew, I just lacked confidence, my emotions were often out of control, and didn’t really know what was going on with my life. It then seemed as though I just happened to be this way and that I simply needed to increase my confidence. Reaching Out

In 2015, I was speaking to a therapist called, Vijay Rana, about different healing techniques. I was talking about how some people believe that their technique is the best one available or the only one that works. After bringing this up, I went into why I thought that it wasn’t a good idea for someone to say these kinds of things. I remember saying that this can cause someone to experience problems when a technique doesn’t work for them. Self-Blame

I remember lying in bed as a child feeling overwhelmed by my emotions and wanting my life to end. This wasn’t a one-off, though; as this was something I went through on numerous occasions. I had a father, mother, and a sister, but I felt as though I was all by myself; that’s not to say that we didn’t do anything together, we did. I felt safe around my sister, but I certainly didn’t feel safe around my parents. I’d Had Enough

The last time I spoke to a friend of mine called, Errol Campbell, we touched upon the effect that the mother/father wound can have on someone , and this time we looked into another important area. But before I got into what this was, I want to talk about how this topic came up. This was something that came up after he mentioned a self-development video that he had watched recently. It was a video that had been viewed many times and it had a very ‘positive’ message. The Way Things Are

A few weeks ago, I felt the need to write an article about customer service, and when I was looking for information on a search engine I came across an interesting article. This was written by someone called Geoff Hudson-Searle. For some reason, I ended up doing a search to find out more about him. I had a look through his business profile and, before long; he had a look through my profile and sent me a friend request. It Didn’t Take Long

In a previous article, I mentioned someone who I met after I helped a friend move house. This was someone called Wain, and since our paths crossed in the middle of 2015, a number of thought-provoking conversations have been had. It doesn’t end there, though, as what I think about after we have spent time together has just as much of an effect, if not more. There are a number of reasons as to why our conversations are so thought-provoking. A Powerful Question

Towards the end of last year, I was introduced to someone called Collin Smith, who is also known as ‘The Listener’. Now, this not merely a fancy term that he uses; it relates to what he is actually like. He is one of the best listeners I have come across, and I don’t say this lightly. Through working with a number of different therapists and healers over the years, I know a good listener when I see one. Another Introduction

At the beginning of last year I had a few videos made, and one of those videos was about what qualifications I had. What inspired me to make this video was an email that I had received around that time. In this email someone said that they liked my work or that they liked an article, but they wanted to know what qualifications I had. This was something that caused me to experience a fairly strong reaction. Two Levels

During the time when my father was in hospital, towards the end of 2011, I did my best to carry on as normal. This would typically mean that I would act as though I was happy and that everything was fine. But as I had been this way for most of my life, it wasn’t as if I was doing anything new; it was simply business as usual. This meant that there were a number of people where I worked who were not aware of what I was going through. A Select Few

Shorty after I left where I was working in 2012, I felt overwhelmed with stress and emotional pain. Due to this, I head back to the spiritual shop where I had had a reading a little while before, and I spoke to the owner. Her name was Sheila, and she was down to earth, genuine and supportive. I think I opened up to her about what I was going through and she recommended a woman who did Reiki healing. Something Different

After the relationship that I was in at the beginning of 2013 came to an end, I ended up coming into contact with a lot of emotional pain. Although a certain amount of pain had been coming up for a little while, the end of the relationship brought it all up the surface. Fortunately, I was able to find someone who could help me to let go of the emotional pain that I was in my body. But before all this came up, I remember talking to the woman who I was with about the different therapies and techniques that I had used, and this was a time when she asked me if I had done enough.

While it could be said that the ideal will be for one life’s to go as they want it to go, this doesn’t always take place. Instead, they can have moments when they don’t get what they want and there can be times when something ‘negative’ will occur. Resistance When something like this happens, one can get caught up in what is taking place and wonder why they are having this experience. They may even end up seeing themselves as a victim.

While there are some people who have absolutely no desire to do anything, there are others who find it hard to sit still. When it comes to the former, one might be only too happy to stay in bed all day. Yet, when it comes to the latter, they may be only too happy to get out of bed and to get things moving. While they might realise how important it is to sleep, they could still see it as something that gets in the way. Another Dynamic

It has been said that every emotion has a purpose, and this means that it is going to be important for one to pay attention to all of them. However, even though this is the case, it can be easier said than done. What this comes down to is that while they might be able to embrace certain emotions, there can be others that they can’t. In fact, one might only be aware of certain emotions, and this is likely to mean there will be emotions that they are disconnected from. Society

While there are plenty of people who suffer from depression, there is also no shortage of people who have anger problems. Still, this is not to say that someone can either have one of the other, as it is unlikely to be this black and white.

When I have spoken my friend Wain about what I was working on in the past, he has often asked me what I was trying to achieve. Additionally, he has asked me what I was looking to receive after I had done something. These questions had a big effect on me, and I wasn’t quite sure how to respond. Nowadays, I’m no longer fazed by these questions, and this is because I know what his intentions are. Getting to the Root

Although some people feel comfortable with themselves, there are others who experience life differently. And it could be said that one will achieve more when they feel comfortable in their own skin, so to speak. Based on this, if one doesn’t feel comfortable with themselves, it will then be normal for them to be in a position where they haven’t achieved very much. Yet while this can sound accurate, it doesn’t mean that this is always going to be the case. High Achievers

It could be said that whenever one spends time around others, they are going to be seen. Therefore, the only way for one to not be seen by others will be for them to spend time by themselves. Black and White This is then something that is not hard to understand; in fact, it is perfectly clear. With this in mind, if one doesn’t want to be seen by others, it is going to mean that they will have to isolate themselves from the world.

If one was to think about how someone would behave if they don’t feel comfortable being seen, they might start to imagine someone who spends a lot of time by themselves. And this is because it will be a way for them to avoid attention. It could then be said that they will have a good understanding of how they would behave, and this could be a sign that they have experienced life in this way in the past. At the same time, they may know someone who experiences life in this way. Out of Sight

When one learns about something, it can be a time where they are told to believe just about everything they hear. There is then no need for them to question anything and to think for themselves.

If one stays up to date with what is taking place in the world, they may have heard about people who blame others for what is taking place in their life.

When someone uses social media, they can share many different parts of their life, and along with this, they can share different parts of their body. However, while they can do this, it doesn’t mean that they will decide to share everything.

When one spends time around the people who they are close to, they may find that they are able to be themselves. What this is going to show is that they won’t have to put on an act. Not only is one going to be in touch with their needs and feeelings, they are also going to feel safe enough to pay attention to what is taking place within them. Ultimately, one is going to feel comfortable in their own skin. Standing Their Ground

There are a number of things that will make it easier for one to live a fulfilling life, and having boundaries is one them. It will then be possible for one to be able to stand up for themselves and to be around the right people.

While some people have boundaries, there are others who don’t have them, and this is going to cause them to experience life differently. However, although one doesn’t have them, it doesn’t mean that they will realise this. Instead, they can simply carry on with their life and continue to put up with all the challenges that will arise through not having them. The reason for this is that one is unlikely to realise why they are experiencing life as they are. Normal

When an area of land has been fenced off, it is likely to show that it is private property. As a result of this, someone is going to need permission in order to walk on the land; that is, of course, unless they own it or know the person who does. If someone was to ignore this and used the land anyway, they will have ignored the boundary that had been created. This could be just a one-off, or not something that they do very often.

In order for someone to be able to express their true-self, they will need to feel comfortable doing so. If they only feel safe when they are putting on an act, it will still stop this part of them from seeing the light of day. How they generally behave around others is then going to be the result of how other people want them to behave (or how they think they want them behave). To experience life in this way is not going to allow one to feel as though they have any control over their behaviour. One Experience
