Do you ever feel as though you gave up way too soon? You abandoned a project before it was complete. You feel like some things are simply way more challenging than you ever expected them to be. Well, you know what they say: The only thing that ever sat its way to success was a hen.
Do you generally feel safe and relaxed? How gentle are you with yourself? Have you ever called yourself a loser in your own head? You wouldn’t dream of saying harsh words to a friend or even a perfect stranger. Instead of verbally abusing yourself, try a dose of kindness, sweet friends.
Do you sometimes feel as though you are suffering in silence? I know. You wish more people were fluent in silence. But honestly, do you feel comfortable speaking your mind? Perhaps you are angry about something. Maybe you never truly tell him what you want or what’s wrong.
How do you feel when someone you like takes an interest in you? Do you sometimes feel as though you are a bit less than? Some of us need to build more confidence about our own nature. You are most likely no more horrid or horrible than anyone else on the planet. Sure, we are in close contact with all of our quirks. You may have many illusions about who you are that are simply false.
If you have a lasting, fulfilling friendship or love relationship, odds are it is not due to luck. It’s humbling to sometimes remind ourselves that everyone is pretty much as offensive as everyone else. Unless you are being emotionally abused or manipulated, chances are the challenges you face in your relationship would most likely surface with anyone you choose.
How do you deal with the dispiriting and demoralizing moments in your own development? None of us can be permanently cheerful or carefree. You may lose direction or even inspiration at times. Have you ever felt numb or deadened inside?
