Who Are You?

Who are you? Who are you? If you are one of the many people out there who feels under constant attack, you might just need to re-examine yourself. Who are you really? Take a moment to think about that. Are you the person others think you are? That may not necessarily be the real you. Your real, true self always has Source Energy inextricably linked to it, whereas who you think you are is the self that is portrayed in your daily life – the one you want others to see. If the

Relationships: Can Someone Project Their Parent/s Onto Other People?

When it comes to how someone perceives another person and the experiences that they have with them, it might not seem as though they are having much of an effect. One is then just aware of what this person is like and when they spend time with them, they won’t be playing a part, either. Therefore, one is just going to be an observer in both cases, which means that they won’t have much control. If they have a good view of another person and they generally get on with them, this won’t be an issue. Another Scenario

Self-Image: Is Our Life Defined By How We See Ourselves?

When it comes to a car, for instance, there is only going to be such much that it can do. So, how fast it can go or where it can be driven will all depend on what type of car it is. If someone wanted to change how fast a car can go or where it can go, it would need to undergo a number of changes. When it comes to a human being, on the other hand, what someone can do is often going to be defined by what is going on internally. The Power of Belief

Online Dating: Should Both Men And Women Be Careful What They Reveal If They Want A Relationship?

If someone was to use an online dating app to try to find a mate, it is naturally going to be different to how it would be if they were to try to find a mate in the real world. For one thing, there will be only so much information available to them online. When they are looking at another person’s profile, they will have a number of pictures to look through and they may even have a write-up to go over. It is then not really going to be possible for them to get a sense of what the other person is really like. In The Flesh

Relationships: Is It Possible To End Up With The Wrong Person?

Just as one can choose something on a menu and end up finding out that it is not very appealing to their taste buds; they can also end up choosing someone to be in a relationship with, only to find out that they are not a good match. However, although one can just stop eating a meal that doesn’t do anything for them, they might not simply be able to walk away from a relationship that is not right.

Are You Energetically Feeding Into What You Want Or What You Don't Want?

At the end of last month, I wrote an article title ‘Are You Energetically Feeding Into What You Don’t Want?’ Since that time I have been thinking more about this topic and, as a result of this, I decided that I had more to share.

Child Abuse: Can Someone’s Need For Validation Stop Them From Being Able To Heal From Child Abuse?

If, after being abused and/or neglected as a child, someone was to get to a point in their adult life where they realised that this is what took place, they may experience a strong need for their experiences to be validated. It might seem strange as to why it took them so long to realise that this is that took place, but, this is usually what happens. There are at least two reasons as to why it would have taken a while for them to become aware of what happened. Firstly, what they experienced would have been normal, meaning that they wouldn’t have known that it was abuse. Protection

Self-Worth: Can Someone Be Made To Feel Worthless?

If one is in a relationship that is abusive, they can find that it is hard for them to feel good about themselves. So, through spending so much time around someone who undermines them, the good feelings that they had will have just about disappeared. Before this took place, they may have often experienced positive feelings and believed that they deserved to be treated well. Ergo, instead of being in a relationship that allows them to grow and develop; it will be a relationship that is destroying them. Another Example

You Need To Stop Caring About What Others Think!

One thing that is often said by people in the self-development world is that it is important not to care about what other people think. This is not the only area where this is said, though, as there are plenty of pages on social media where quotes are shared that have the same message. Taking this into account, it is likely to be a big surprise if someone hasn’t come across these words or words that have the same meaning at least once. And if someone hasn’t heard this from these two sources, they may have heard it from a friend or a family member, for instance. Important Words

Anger: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To Disconnect From Their Anger?

One way to look at anger would be to say that it is something that someone experiences when they feel violated in some way. Therefore, to say that anger is bad wouldn’t be accurate. Nonetheless, if they were to become consumed by their anger and lost the ability to behave in a conscious manner, it could certainly cause them to do something that is destructive. They could end up doing something that they will later regret and the consequences could be severe. Emotional Containment

In other words, they will go with what they feel called to do as opposed to doing something out of fear. This could typically be how they operate during their day-to-day life too, meaning that behaving in this way will be what is normal. Through living in this way, their life is likely to be far more fulfilling than it would be otherwise. A Strong Connection

Support: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Believe That They Will Only Be Loved If They Need Their Parents?

If someone finds it hard to support themselves as an adult, it is likely to cause them to experience a fair amount of frustration, to say the least. This could mean that they don’t have a job or that the job that they have doesn’t pay them enough. If this is how their life has been for a little while it would be hard enough, but as this is how their life has more or less always been it will be even harder for them to handle. This could be seen as just how life is and something that they have to put up with. A Helping Hand

Being Present: Can Childhood Trauma Make It Hard For Someone To Be Present?

One thing that is often spoken about in self-development is the importance of being present. In some cases, this is seen as the answer to every problem and, in others, it is just seen as something that will allow someone to function better. So when someone is present, they won’t be caught up in what happened in the past and they won’t be caught up in what might happen in the future either. Their attention will be in the now.

Surrendering: Why Do Some People Find It Hard To Surrender?

In today’s world it is often believed that there are two ways to be in life, and one of these ways is often seen as good and another is often seen as bad. The first is to take action and to take life by the horns, which is the good way, and the second option is to be lazy and to sit around doing nothing, which is the bad way. It is then as though there is no middle ground here; one is either a doer or they are someone who doesn’t do anything. In addition to this, they can either receive positive feedback from others or they can end up being put down. Socially Acceptable Behaviour
