Self-Image: Why Do Some People Only Know Who They Are When They Have An Enemy?

When it comes to how one sees themselves, they can be their own best friend or their own worst enemy. What this shows is how important their self-image is, and if they want to lead a fulfilling existence, it will be necessary for them to see themselves in a positive light. At Times Now, this is not to say that one should always see themselves in this way, as there are likely to be times when this won’t be appropriate. For example, if one has acted destructively towards another, it will be normal for them to see themselves differently.

Self-Worth: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Attach Their Value To What They Do?

If one was to observer how the people around them behave, they may find that a lot of them have something in common. What could stand out is how so many people are always doing something. Always On the Go And even if these people were to go on holiday or to take some time off work, it doesn’t mean that they will be able to take it easy. If one of these people went on holiday, for instance, this could be a time when their mind will be consumed with what is taking place back home.

“I Wanted To Convert People!”

After I had been into self-development for a few years, in the middle of 2005, I learnt about the effect that our thoughts, emotions and beliefs have on how we experience life. I think the first time I had heard about his was when I read ‘The Power of the Subconscious Mind’, by Joseph Murphy. Shortly after this, I read a number of books by Dr Robert Anthony, followed by a CD program called ‘The Secret of Deliberate Creation’. I was amazed by what I heard and wanted to tell other people about it. Inner Conflict

Do You End Up With People Who Are You Emotionally Unavailable?

I was thinking the other day about how common it is for people to end up in a relationship with someone who is not available. This is something that usually causes them to experience a lot of pain. To go through this once is more than enough, but there are people who have experienced this on more than one occasion. As a result of this, it can be normal for someone to believe that they are really unlucky. Despair

Emotional Problems: Does The Need To Look Strong Stop Some Men From Reaching Out For Support?

Both men and women experience emotions, but it is often a lot harder for men to open up about how they feel. Now, if emotions were things that could simply be overlooked, this wouldn’t matter. The trouble is that this is not the case, which is why it can lead to all kinds of problems when a man keeps how he feels to himself. If man was his own island, it wouldn’t be an issue if he didn’t open up. An Identity

Critical Thinking: Does A Woman Need To Seek Professional Help If She Believes That All Men Are Bad?

In today’s world, it appears to be perfectly acceptable for a woman in the public eye to bash men. She can say all kinds of things that will basically amount to men being less-than human and worthless, and absolutely nothing will be done. Now, that’s not to say that both men and women won’t complain about this; what it means is that this kind of behaviour is tolerated by the media and the education system, for instance. If a man viewed women in the same way, there is a strong chance that he wouldn’t be given a platform. One Big Illusion

Critical Thinking: Does Identity Politics Cause Some People To Suffer From Thinkaphobia?

It could be said that the main purpose of the education system is to give people the guidance that they need in order to be able to think for themselves. Along with this, it will be important for them to receive the tools that they need to stand on their own two feet. In an ideal world, that is what would happen during someone’s time in the education system. This would then allow someone to leave with their own mind and they would soon be able to support themselves. Back to Reality

Emotional Strength: Is Someone Weak If They Can't Control Their Emotions?

Nowadays, it is often believed that someone’s feelings are caused by their thoughts. Thus, if someone wants to change how they feel, it will be essential for them to change the thoughts that are running through their head. The reason this is widely believed is partly due to the self-development industry, with their being hundreds, if not thousands, of books that espouse this view. Thanks to this information, people from all over the world now believe this. The Observer

Social Media: Should Someone Delete Their ‘Friends’ If They Supported A Different Presidential Candidate?

Now that the election is over, it has given people the chance to share their views on what has taken place. This could be a time when one is happy about how it is has gone, or they could feel let down. Alte atively, they could wonder what all the fuss is about, and think about how life will go on either way. In this case, it is likely to show that they didn’t vote for anyone, or that they didn’t have to. On The Outside

The Value Of Your Work Is Not Defined By How Many ‘Likes’ You Get!

I was speaking to a friend of mine the other day called, Wain, and he was talking about the work that he had been sharing on social media. He had recently created another page and had put in a fair amount of work to build it up. From what he was saying, it made me think about how it is easy to put in a lot of work and end up with very little in return. There can be the money that someone puts in to increase their ‘followers’ and there can be all the time they put in to create content. Another Approach

Self-Development: Are You Drawn To A Teacher Because Of What They Know Or Because Of How They Come Across?

If one wanted to change something about themselves in the past, they may have ended up reading a book, for instance. Nowadays, one can end up going onto a search engine and watching a video. But if they were to read something, it could relate to what has been written on a blog. What this emphasises is how the internet has had a big effect on what approach people take when they want to move forward in their life. Visual Creatures

“This Guy Gets To The Root Of The Issue!”

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

Critical Thinking: Can Someone End Up With Mental And Emotional Problems If They Don’t Eat Meat?

Due, in part, to the amount of attention that the mainstream media give to mental and emotional problems, it can seem as though more people than ever before are in a bad way. In many easy, it is as though it is case of who doesn’t have them, not who does. If this problem is a big as this source of information, along with the government, says it is, there are bound to be a number of reasons as to why this is. At the same time, one way of looking at this would be to say that this is another example of sensationalism, and that these two sources are making a mountain out of a hill.

Relationships: Is It Harder For Someone To Leave An Abusive Relationship When They Are Emotionally Dependent?

When someone is in a situation that doesn’t serve them, it is going to be in their best interests to move on. Nevertheless, it might not be possible for them to walk away and to put this all behind them. The Next Step The reason for this is that one could be in a job that is paying them the money that they need to survive. Therefore, if they were to just walk away, there life could end up getting even worse.

Self-Worth: Can Someone Feel Inadequate Around People Who Feel Worthless?

When one spends time around the people in their life, they may find that they generally feel good about themselves. And through feeling this way when they are around them, it is likely to mean that they will feel good when their time together comes to an end. Another Outcome Yet, if this is not how they feel, it could show that one is annoyed that their time together had to come to an end. Perhaps one didn’t have enough time to stay any longer, or the other person might have had to leave early, for instance.

Critical Thinking: Why Do So Many Celebrities Support Open Borders?

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for someone to look towards a celebrity for guidance. Consequently, it won’t matter if a celebrity is a good singer, actor/actress, or any else for that matter, as they will be seen as an authority on just about everything under the sun. Now, if someone has elevated a celebrity in this way, it could show that they are at the beginning of their life. This is then a sign that they haven’t developed the ability to think critically, which is why they perceive these kinds of people as modern day gods/goddesses. Human Beings

This is likely to show that they are there to support them, and their life is then going to be a lot easier than it would be otherwise.

Defence Mechanism: What Is Splitting?

When someone experiences emotional pain, and this pain is too strong for them to handle, their mind can end up using a defence to keep it at bay. In this sense, a defence is very much like a water dam, inasmuch as it is there to stop something from flooding in. After a little while, it will be necessary for them to realise what has taken place and to face this pain. This will allow them to reconnect with their feelings and to operate as a whole human being again. Too Much

“The Individual Has Always Had To Struggle To Keep From Being Overwhelmed By The Tribe”

Many years ago, I heard the following quote from Friedrich Nietzsche, “The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.” There was something about it that really pulled me in and I ended up sharing it online soon after. Recently, I heard this quote again and I came to see that there was another reason why it resonated with me all those years ago. The First Time

Ideally, someone will be in tune with how they feel when they are around others; the reason being that it will allow them to function as a whole human being. Through being aware of how they feel, they will be able to connect to how other people feel and to connect to their own emotional needs. Naturally, other people are going to appreciate their ability to connect to how they feel and to empathise with them. And, being in tune with their own needs will allow them to express what is taking place for them and to assert themselves. Fully Showing Up

The World Needs More Love!

When I was out the other day I saw a paper bag that said something like, ‘the world needs more love.’ This is something that is hard to deny, considering how much suffering and destruction there is. One only needs to watch the news or to pick up a paper to hear about something negative that is taking place. What plays a part in this, of course, is that is that these sources have the tendency to focus on the bad things that are taking place and to overlook the good things. More to It

If someone feels hopeless, it can cause them to feel down and as though they have no control. And, unless something changes, they could end up feeling even worse - sinking even further down into themselves. It can then seem as though there is no way out, and they may come to believe that the only option they have is to end their own life. This could be how they have felt for a number of months or years, or maybe they have felt this way for as long as they can remember. A Painful Existence

If someone was to hear the term ‘legitimate suffering’, it might not make any sense to them. But, if they were to hear the word ‘neurosis’, they might have a rough idea about what it means. This could be seen as a normal part of living in a society that encourages the avoidance of pain and living on the surface of oneself. There are numerous ways for someone to avoid their pain in the modern-day world and one outcome of this is that they can end up losing touch with their true essence. Self-Alienation

Therefore, although experiencing adrenalin will give someone a high, it will also cause them to experience a fair amount of tension. A Closer Look
