True-Self: Are You Being Guided By Your Ego Or Your True-Self?

Taking action is one thing, but it is another thing altogether as to whether or not the action someone takes is coming from their true essence or their need for approval. One of the best ways for someone to find out is to take the time to reflect on why they are doing something. What this then means is that instead of doing something because the urge is there, one can take a step back and tune into themselves. If they are used to getting an urge to do something and then doing it, this might be a challenge. Two Worlds

“I Came to Accept People From Other Cultures!”

When our family guest had only just been opened, a lot of the people who stayed were just passing by or on holiday. Yet, as the years went by and our guest house became more well-known, we started to have people stay from all over the world. This also meant that we had students stay throughout the year, and there were even moments when we had them over at Christmas. A lot of these students were from Japan, China, Turkey and Sri Lanka.

Relationships: Is Our Life Defined By The Inner Models That Other People Have Of Us?

When one meets someone for the first time, they might not know anything about them. However, once they have spent a little while in their company, they will start to construct an inner model of what they are like. This inner model is then going to define how they interpret just about everything that this person does; it will be as though they are wearing special glasses. Said another way, the kind of relationship that they have with them is going to have more to do with what is going on inside their own head than it will with what this person is actually like.

Self-Worth: It Is Harder For Someone To Make Mistakes When They Feel Worthless?

If one was to get something wrong, they may find that this is not something that will end up derailing them. They might need a little while to pull themselves together, so to speak, but that will be as far as it will go. Going Back And, if they were to look back on how they have been throughout their life, they may find that this is what typically takes place. What this is going to show is that it takes a lot for them to give up and to walk away from something.

Critical Thinking: Why Do Some People Swallow Everything The Mainstream Media Comes Out With?

In recent years, the mainstream media’s power has waned but that doesn’t mean that there are not a lot of people who still pay attention to this source of information. Some of the people who look towards this source to tell what is going on will be in the latter stages of their life, while there will be others who will be at the beginning of their life.

Critical Thinking: Why Would A Woman Want To Put Fillers In Her Face?

In the past, dermal fillers were only used by a small amount of women but, as time has passed, this has changed. Far more women use them than ever before and there are undoubtedly a number of reasons as to why this is. One important distinction that needs to be made here is the difference between a dermal filler and Botox. A dermal filler is something that smoothes out the skin to reduce wrinkles; whereas Botox is something that freezes muscles to reduce wrinkles. The Reasons

Emotionally Disconnected: Can Someone Disconnect From Their Emotions If They Have Experienced Trauma?

In addition to a physical and mental self, someone also has an emotional self. Nonetheless, just because they will have at least three parts to their being, it doesn’t mean that they will always be in touch with each of these parts. What one may find, that’s if they were to reflect on how they experience life, is that they are rarely in touch with their emotional self. As a result of this, it could also mean that they spend a lot of time being disconnected from their body – their physical self. One and the same

Critical Thinking: Is It Easy For Someone To Project Their Issues Onto Trump?

If someone has anything good to say about president Trump, there are least two things that can happen, and what happens will most likely depend on who is around them. One could end up receiving positive feedback or they could end up receiving negative feedback. There is the chance that one would have only spoken about him because they knew that they were around people who also supported him. This is not necessarily a sign that this person has a strong need to fit in; it could simply show that they want to protect their livelihood. The Status Quo

Dating: Is It A Bad Idea To Have Sex On The First Date?

Many, many years ago, sex was something that people would typically have if they wanted children. Nowadays, it is something that lot of people have if they want to experience pleasure. In the past, then, it was generally seen as having one purpose and in the present, it is generally seen as having another. Now, while there were people in the past who did have sex for other reasons, there is no denying how different it is today. Separated

You Need To Stop Being A Perfectionist!

After I wrote an article titled ‘you just need to love yourself’ and another titled ‘you just need to let go’, I came to see that there was another area for me to touch upon. Along with these two phrases, there is what can be said if someone is a perfectionist. If so, they can also be told that they need to stop being a perfectionist or something similar. Someone like this could have the need to be perfect in one area of their life or it could be something that relates to every area of it. Deeply Conce ed

Relationships: Do We Judge Others In The Same Way That We Judge Ourselves?

It could be said that just about everyone on this planet judges others from time to time. However, one of the main differences is that some people are more judgmental than others. The Difference Along with this, not everyone judges others in the same way. What this means is that one person could have the tendency to judge how other people look, while another could focus on how they behave.

Relationships: Should Someone To Ask Themselves Why They Want To Get Back With Their Ex?

If one’s relationship has just come to an end, they could feel relieved and happy that they can now move on with their life. Maybe, this was a relationship that was no longer working, meaning that it had run its course. Disconnected For a number of weeks, they might have thought about how they no longer wanted to be with this person. When they were together, their body would have been with them, but their mind would have been somewhere else.

Critical Thinking: Is It A Surprise That Some Attractive People Are Deeply Insecure?

It has been said that although all human beings are equal on a deeper level, it doesn’t mean that this is the case on a more surface level. One thing that can give someone an upper hand in life is intelligence and another thing is attractiveness. And while someone might only have one of these things, there is also the chance that they will have both. If this is the case, their appearance can make it easier for them to pull people in and their brain can allow them to keep them there. Just One

The Power Of Hope

During the moments in my life when I was in a hell of a lot of pain, I had this sense that things would change for the better. I didn’t know how this would happe I just knew that my life would change; in a way, it was as if I was in a country that I was only visiting. If I had only listened to my mind and focused on what was actually taking place, I would have believed that I was basically f**cked. I would have come to the conclusion that I was in a really bad way and there was no way that this would change. A Strong Element

“Changing Your Environment Is The Easiest And Quickest Way To Change Your Thinking!”

I recently went to Stockholm, Sweden, and while I was there I spent time with a friend who I met many years ago. This was Peter, and this was someone who I met when I did a healing course in London towards the end of 2009. After I spent time with him in London, I ended up meeting him again when I did another course in Antwerp, Belgium a few months later. We got on well during this time and have spoken over Skype ever since. Like old Times

Do You Want To Become More Grounded?

A number of years ago I was thinking about trying Tai Chi, yet I didn’t end up taking the next step. Since that time, there have been moments when it has crossed my mind, and a little while ago, I spoke to someone who did Qigong. They told me that it was good for grounding, amongst others things, but I didn’t take the time to look into it. This all changed the other day when Qigong came to my mind, causing me to look into where I could take a class close by. The Time Had Come

If someone was to think about their last relationship, what they may find is that they started to lose themselves when they first started meeting the other and had more or less completely lost themselves once they were together. There is the chance that this has taken place on more than one occasion. If so, one will see that they have had a number of relationships where this has taken place. This will then be a scenario that they are far too familiar with. What Happens

Projection: Is There A Reason Why We Project Our Issues Onto Others?

If one was to look back on their life, they may become aware of a time when they saw their own issue in someone else. This could have been a time when they accused someone of having anger problems, when they themselves were the ones who had anger problems. Or, perhaps they accused their partner of acting in a selfish manner, when it was the person who they saw in the mirror who was acting in this way. At the time, it wouldn’t have been possible for them to see what was going on, but that would have changed as time passed. The Most Important Thing

Not only this but when they are in this hole, they could feel as though they will never get out of it. However, if this is just what is normal, they might not be consciously aware of what is going on. The Outcome

Are You Using Social Media To Deceive Others?

Over the years, I have written a number of articles that go into the affect that social media is having on the world, and one of the affects that came to my mind again recently was how easy it was for someone to deceive their so-called ‘friends’. This can take place by only uploading certain pictures and by editing the pictures that they do upload.

Being Centred: Is It Harder For Someone To Be Centred If They Have The Need To Please Others?

If someone was to stand on the edge of a building, it would be a lot harder for them to feel at peace than if they were in the middle of it. Being on the edge can cause them to feel uncomfortable, whereas being in the centre may allow them to feel at ease. In the same way, someone can either be on the edge of themselves or they can be in their centre. If they are on the edge, they can feel disconnected, stressed, anxious and fearful, but, if they are in their centre, they can feel connected, calm, grounded and at peace. The Best Option

Trauma Separates Us From Our True Essence!

I mediated a few weeks ago and this was something that I hadn’t done for a little while. But even though I hadn’t done this for a little while, I soon remembered how beneficial it was to mediate. I felt more at peace afterwards and it brought to my attention how different the mind is compared with the body. While the mind sees everything as separate and categorises everything; the body is in the present moment and just is. Disconnected

Childhood Development: Are Some People Born To Fulfil A Role That Their Caregivers Had Planned For Them?

In ancient Greece, Sparta was a prominent city-state where boys were trained to be warriors. When a boy reached six or seven, he was removed from his parents home and sent to military school where he began the ’agoge.’ In order for these boys to become fearless warriors, they had to go through a ‘brutal training period.’ Taking all this into account, it is clear that these boys had absolutely no say as to what they would do with their life.

Sexuality: Can Someone’s Early Years Have An Effect On What Turns Them On As An Adult?

As an adult, someone can believe that the things that arouse them are just the things that arouse them, and that all there is to it. However, what this wouldn’t take into account is the part that their early years may have played in why something in particular has this effect on them. If, for example, someone had some kind of fetish, this may cause them to wonder how they ended up this way. Then again, this could also just be seen as being part of who they are, with them being born this way. One Experience

“Are You Happy?”

There has been times in my life when I have been asked if I was happy, and this has often been followed by me feeling somewhat perplexed. When I have been asked this, part of me has felt as though I should say yes, while another part of me hasn’t wanted to say anything. The reason for this is that I don’t aspire to be happy, far from it; that’s not to say that I do everything I can to be unhappy, though. For me, the purpose of life is to live a fulfilling life – that’s what matters. Meaning

Either they focus on themselves or they focus on others, and focusing on themselves is going to be seen as being selfish.

It could be said that in order for someone to grow and to develop, they will need to feel comfortable with being vulnerable. The reason for this is that if someone has the need to protect themselves, they are not going to open themselves up to life. Their main priority will be to do everything they can to keep everything the same and therefore, it will be vital to keep anything that is new or different at bay. But, while living in this way will allow them to feel comfortable, it will also set them up to live in a prison without bars. A Predictable Existence
