• Find yourself timid and nervous in conversations with others, or meeting someone new?
• Take a long time to reach decisions and lack firmness in your decisions?
• Find it difficult to express your opinions? Or even fearful?
• Have the habit of avoiding certain people, topics or issues rather than facing them?
• Tend to just agree with others to avoid conflict?
• Feel like you have an inferiority complex? (which might be demonstrated by at times find yourself showing self-approval through what you say or do, as a means to cover up a feeling of less worth; doing things to impress others; imitating others in the way they talk or dress, boasting of made-up accomplishments)
• Care what others think or say about you, to the point that it holds you back?
• Lack initiative and ambition?
• Fail to take full advantage of opportunities to advance yourself?
• Lack confidence in your own ideas?
• Give evasive, unclear answers when asked a question by a superior?
• Hesitate to the point that you miss out?
• Label yourself as mentally and physically lazy?
• Think you are easily influenced by others, to your detriment?

Would you like to:

• Be more assertive?
• Be able to say what is on your mind, share your ideas and opinions and even enjoy doing so?
• Stand up for yourself?
• Develop the capacity for deep and meaningful relationships?
• Experience a freedom and openness in attitudes and dealings with others?
• Talk in front of groups of people, or in meetings or even one-on-one with ease and confidence?
• Not take things so personally, and rather be able to participate in debates and heated discussions such that you feel you can make a contribution and also learn from others?

In your life, do you feel diminished, and are you ready to do something about it? Are you experiencing the following symptoms or experiences?

• operating at a fraction of your capacity
• defaulting on self actualisation
• shrinking from being the real you
• undermining and dampening your real aspirations
• draining off your energy in unrewarding areas
• disintegrating into fatigue and depression
• achieving only a small fraction of your potential intelligence, potential love, potential life
• feel stuck in the game of blaming, accusing, complaining, whining
• indifferent, expressed through your lack of ambition and your acceptance of whatever life is offering you without any protest
• mentally and physically lazy
• lack imagination, enthusiasm, self-control and discipline
• don’t take initiative
• indecisive, possibly even allowing others to do your thinking for you
• doubtful, and have all the excuses to explain, apologise for or cover up areas of your life where you feel a failure, sometimes even criticising and feeling jealous of others who are successful
• worry a lot, and can easily find fault with others
• neglectful of your own personal affairs, lack self-reliance
• feel nervous and self-conscious a lot
• over cautious, and tend to wait for the right time to take action, and now this is a habit
• pessimistic, with the habit of only looking for the negatives, what won’t work, and not finding the means of succeeding, seeing only those who have failed, dismissing those who have succeeded
• are a procrastinator of note, you put things off, come up with excuses as to why you haven’t or can’t do something
• refuse to taking responsibility when it is possible to avoid
• compromise with setbacks rather than using them as stepping stones to progress
• lack a definiteness of purpose and direction, feel you don’t have or can’t find meaning in your work or life

Would you like:

• an inner directedness, a knowing about who you are and where you are going
• to tolerate and manage uncertainty more
• to accept yourself and others
• the capacity for more intense, deep and meaningful relationships
• to be more spontaneous and creative, more unrestricted and uncensored by yourself, in your expressions (verbally, creatively, sexually, physically etc)
• to be more real, more authentic, feel congruent
• to walk your talk, take actions, make things happen in your life
• to develop a more efficient, healthy, robust, empowering perception of reality
• experience more peak or “in the flow” experiences more frequently
