The Dreaming

Life might be better if you try the following:

1. Let go of the past

2. Do stuff (instead of just thinking or talking about it)

3. Don’t let other people bother you

4. Make the effort to stay in touch (especially with those who mean a lot to you)

5. Allow yourself to make mistakes, and fail

6. Accept that things going wrong from time to time

7. Decide not to take things personally

8. Think about how you want to be remembered

9. Give without expecting something in return

10. Choose to be silly, to have fun, and to laugh

11. Value your friends, and always treat them well

1. Threats and fear of abandonment. These can lead to jealousy and feelings of insecurity.

2. Lack of emotional nurturing. This can lead to feelings of emotional deprivation – which can feel like a bottomless pit to fill.

3. Growing up with feelings of entitlement. This can lead to feeling as if you don’t have to live by the same rules as others – as you are special, and a bit superior.

4. Being told that you’re inferior or inadequate. This causes you feel like you’re never good enough.

5. The demand to be perfect, and to always get things right. This can leading to being driven – and incredibly high standards.

6. Being betrayed by those you trusted – so you won’t trust now, and you can’t get close to others, or let them get close to you.
