"I Felt Accepted!"

After I had got back from Bali and Australia, towards the end of 2009, I was no longer the same person. What had also played a part here were the experiences that I had when I was on a course in Belgium, which took place just before I went away. Ultimately, I wanted to continue from where I had left off and to put my plans into action. The trouble was I wasn’t completely sure how I was going to do this and, as I was no longer around the same people, it became harder for me to maintain the state that I was in. A New Start

Receiving: Does Someone Need To Feel Safe In Order To Receive?

It has been said that in order for someone to be able to give, they will need to be able to receive. With this in mind, being able to receive is the first part and being able to give is the second part. Right at the Beginning Another way of understanding this would be for one to go back to what took place during the start of their life. This would have been a time when they were unable to do anything for anyone.

Masculinity: Can The Fear Of Being Harmed Cause Someone To Disconnect From Their Masculine Aspect?

It is not uncommon for someone to be in a position where they find it hard to stand their ground. Therefore, instead of assertive themselves when it is necessary, they just allow other people to walk over them. Along with this, they may have the tendency to say yes when they would rather say no, causing them to do things that they don’t really want to do. There may be times when behaving in this way won’t have much of an effect on them, while there will be other times when it does. A Build-Up

Self-Worth: Why Do Some People Believe That They Are Not Good Enough?

When one believes that they are not good enough, it can set them to live a life that is not very fulfilling. For one thing, this can stop them from taking the steps that they need to take to fulfil their goals. A Half-Life One is not going to view themselves in a positive light, and this is going to cause them to settle for less. This is not to say that they will be happy with what is taking place, but it can be as if they don’t have a choice.

“I Was Told That I Was Useless!”

I remember listening to Dov Baron in 2006 and thinking about I would love to know as much as he did. At this point, I had already been learning about self-development for about three years, so it wasn’t as though I hadn’t come across anyone like this before. However, although I had listened to other people who spoke about self-development before, they didn’t have the same effect on me. This was someone who had all the qualifications, and he had the experiences, too. I was hooked!

Relationships: Where Do Men’s Expectations Of Women Come From?

When it comes to what a woman is going to be like, a man will have a set of expectations. And sometimes these can be consciously known and at other times, they can be completely unconscious. However, no matter whether these are conscious or unconscious, they will still have a massive impact on their relationships with the opposite sex. So if these expectations are generally fulfilling and functional, there is unlikely to be too many challenges that arise from having them.

Offended: Can Being Offended Be An Opportunity To Grow?

In today’s world, it is not uncommon to hear about someone who has been offended by something. And while this could due to what another person has said to them, it could also be the result of something else. In this case, one might have been watching TV or overheard a conversation that other people were having. At the same time, they may have read about something online, and this could be someone’s opinion or it could cover a number of different facts. One Outcome

Relationships: What Can Sabotage Adult To Adult Relationships?

Even though two people are in a relationship together, it doesn’t mean that they are relating as adults. Physically they may look like adults, but that could be as far as it goes. And upon closer inspection, it could look as though it is between a parent and a child. This won’t be limited to intimate relationships of the opposite or the same gender; it will also include friendships and between family members for instance. It won’t matter how old someone is, as the parent and child dynamic will still be at work.

Naive: Is It Good Or Bad To Be Naive?

If someone was to start something new, they might try to find out everything they can about it. In this case, they are not just going to start something and learn as they go along; they are going to do some serious research. Through taking this approach, they are going to be prepared, and this is going to lower their chances of being caught of guard. This is not to say that they will know everything, but they will have an idea of what they are getting into. Preparation

Social Media: Do We Put In Less Effort When We Are Friends With Someone On Social Media?

When someone uses social media, they can stay up to date with the people they know. This can relate to the people they have known for quite some time and the ones they have only known for a short while. Along with this, there can also be a difference is how well one knows them, as there is likely to be a difference. On one hand, one might share their whole life with some of these people, and on the other hand, there may be others who know very little about them. All Together

Interpretations: Do Our Interpretations Create Our Experience Of Life?

One can often watch a film with an ending that is unclear and come up with an interpretation that is completely different to another person. Or perhaps there is a cloud in the sky; one sees it to be a certain shape and another person sees another shape or cannot see this shape at all. Then there are dreams, which can be interpreted in numerous ways. Some say there are specific meanings; others say that the meanings can only be interpreted by the individual.

What Challenges Can Someone Encounter On Their Healing Journey?

When I look back on my life, I can see that my healing journey began in 2003 when I met my first mentor. This was a woman who I would go on to study with for a number of years. During our time together, I would go on study Reiki healing and NLP. It wasn’t just the qualifications that I picked up that made the difference, though; it was having the opportunity to spend time with someone who understood me, didn’t think I was strange and listened to what I had to say.

“I Don’t Care If Your Father Is In Hospital!”

As I have said in a previous article, my father had to go into hospital in the middle of 2011, and this was a time when I was under a lot of stress. My mother had had a stroke the previous year and soon my life would change once again. During the time that my father was in hospital, I would help to run our family guest house when I wasn’t at work. I had a lot going on at this time, and this helped to keep my mind off what was taking place. At Other Times

Boundaries: Can A Lack Of Boundaries Stop Someone From Being Able To Express Their True-Self?

On one side, one can be in a position where they are able to express their true-self, and on the other side, they can be in a position where this isn’t the case. At the same time, one could also find that it is possible for them to do this from time to time. But if this is the case, it is likely to mean that one can only express themselves around certain people and during certain situations, and this going to have a negative effect on their life. So whether one is unable to be themselves or they can only do this on the odd occasion, it is going to cause them to suffer. Part of Life

Relationships: Should Someone Look Into What Is Taking Place Within Them If They Attract People Who Are Unavailable?

While one could be in a fulfilling relationship with someone, there is also the chance that this is not the case. This could come down to the fact that they don’t want to be in one, and this might be a sign that they have just broken up with someone. If this is the case, they might want to take the time to get over the person they were with. Perhaps this was a relationship that lasted a long time, and this could then mean that they are not ready to get back out there. The Sensible Approach

Mother-Enmeshed Men: Is A Mother-Enmeshed Man Too Underdeveloped To Realise That He Is Separate From His Mother?

Naturally, in order for a man to live a life that is worth living, he will need to do what is right for him. For this to take place, he will need to be in tune with his needs and feelings and allow his inner world to impact his outer world. This is not to say that he won’t be able to be there for others but what it does mean is that, in general, he will need to put himself first. If he doesn’t do this and was to focus on the needs and feelings of others, he would neglect himself. How It Is

Not just anyone would do, though, as I was looking for someone who would be able to relate to where I was coming from.

Happiness: Can Early Deprivation Give Someone The Need To Be Happy All the Time?

In general, someone can come across as happy or at the very least, as though everything is fine. Due to this, the people in their life could describe them as a ‘happy person’, and, because of this, they might feel uplifted after they have spent time in their presence. However, while this is how they might typically come across, it doesn’t mean that this is a reflection of how they truly feel. Still, they might not even be aware of how they truly feel and so if how they come across rarely matches up with what is going on for them, it won’t stand out. The Norm

Relationships: Why Do Some People Always Blame Men/Women?

When something goes wrong, one can either look into what took place, or they can simply find someone to blame. If they were to look into what happened, it would give them the chance to make a difference. For example, they could see if they have played a part in what took place and if so, they can see if they can do anything in order to make it right, so to speak. Through doing this, they will be taking responsibility for their actions. Alte atively

False Self: Can Developmental Trauma Cause Someone To Have The Need To Adapt To Others?

If someone went on a drive and a road was closed, they would need to change their route. As frustrating as this may be, it would be a minor inconvenience and it would, ultimately, allow them to reach their destination. This is then an example of someone adapting to a situation and, at the same time, not being negatively affected by it. If they resisted what was going on and didn’t adapt, they would have caused themselves an unnecessary problem. A Big Difference

False Self: Can Early Deprivation Cause Someone To Create An Inflated False Self?

There are some people that are not very confident and are full of doubt, while there are others that are full of confidence and don’t really experience doubt. Due to this, those that can relate to the former often achieve far less than those that can relate to the latter. If one was to meet someone that falls into the second category, one could wonder how they could be this way. While they could struggle to feel good and capable, they won’t be in the company of someone that is in the same position. High Up

Inner Darkness: Can Someone Run Away From Their Own Inner Darkness?

It has been said that planet earth is the plane of duality and this can be noticed by the fact that there are usually two parts to everything. For example, there is hot and cold, up and down, and fast and slow. There is also “good” and “bad” in the world, and, just as these two things exist in the outer world, they also exist in someone’s inner world. This means that in addition to the “bad” that is outside them, they will also have “bad” inside them. Part of Life

There are a number of things that can stop one from being able to have a fulfilling relationship, and ending up with someone who is unavailable will be one of the things that will stop them from being able to fulfil this need. When this takes place, they can find it hard to understand how this has happened. Before they met this person, they may have been really clear about the kind of person that they wanted to be with. They will then have ‘asked’ for what they wanted, but it won’t have been ‘given’ to them. A Patte

For some people, being in an intimate relationship could be a way for them to fulfil their basic needs, to have someone to share their life, and to grow. When someone has this outlook, it could show that they don’t feel as though they are missing something. Another person is then not there to complete them; they are there to complement them.

Or to be more exact, they will be aware that there are a lot of people that are trying to change the world.

Anger: Is It Good Or Bad?

The word anger and the behaviour that it creates is not something that is typically looked upon with acceptance or positivity. Anger is often portrayed as a troublesome emotion; an emotion that leads to destructive and abusive behaviour. And there is no denying that anger can be extremely destructive when expressed in a certain way or when it is taken to the extreme. However, I believe that if we look at the world and our own individual lives, we will see many examples when anger has been appropriate and has lead to positive action and change. Neutral Behaviour

If a man is in a position where he spends a lot of time doing things for his mother and neglects himself in the process, it could be said that this illustrates that he has a strong need to please her. After all, she is going to be the person who he is doing so much for. Based on this, if he no longer had such a strong need to please her, there would be no reason for him to behave in this way. It would then be normal for him to be there for himself and to be there for his mother if and when he wanted to be there for her. In Balance

So one can experience just about every emotion on one side of the spectrum at one moment and then experience just about every emotion on the other side of the spectrum at another, and with the same person. And while it is human nature to seek pleasure and to avoid pain, it doesn’t mean that one will leave a relationship that causes them to feel bad. The other person could be someone who is bringing them down and making their life a misery and yet, one doesn’t leave them.r

If a man behaves in a negative or destructive manner, it is often put down to ‘toxic masculinity’. This is something that a feminist on TV can come out with, as well as someone who isn’t a feminist. Now, it could be said that this is because feminists have a good understanding of what is going on in the world – they have their finger on the pulse, so to speak.
