In every personality there is a left or right, female or male, mental or emotional. People often see themselves as a male or a female personality, because of gender for example, but this is not always true. The left and right hemisphere does not always have something to do with gender but with what is dominating in your personality or whether you are in balance with both.
Female hemisphere
The female hemisphere stands in a lot of Eastern philosophies as the moon and the force of the universe. Important aspects are feelings, nurturing, caring, compassion, love, emotional qualities, intuition, creativity, instinct and the feminine Yin.
How do I feel about who I am?
Self-esteem is all about how you see yourself. Who are you and are you happy with who you are? Do you have the inner-stability to be confident? Many people who start or have a career are suffering from low self-esteem. They feel like they have to compete constantly and that there is no room for mistakes. If mistakes are made it is engraved in their minds instead of learning from it properly
Self-appreciation
The first step to build up self-esteem is to start loving and liking yourself. Not everyone finds this easy so here are 4 small exercises to start learning how to appreciate yourself.
However it is barely acknowledged on the work floor many people suffer from loneliness. Loneliness should not be confused with being alone. Loneliness is feeling isolated and being alone can be both negative and positive. There are many people who can work just fine while being alone. And then we have social isolation which is a lack of social interaction or contact with other people. People who are socially isolated might have a lack of friends, family and are not very good in meeting new people.
People experienced that their colleagues are not talking to them or are just not included in meetings and projects. It might seem like tasks that are normal after a while you might see that you are working on a project alone. Again.
You can measure your comfort zones with certain anxiety levels. It is long not as scary as it sounds, depending where you are of course. Everything you do is part of that certain anxiety level. If you do your normal chores these actions will be part of your comfort zone so you won’t feel anxiety but let’s say you are starting a new job, at this point you are leaving your comfort zone and entering a learning zone. If you oversleep or miss the bus on your first day at that new job then you will no longer be in a learning zone but in a panic zone.
Comfort zones
Being empathic is not always an easy trade. Being able to sense the emotions with my environment as well how people feel, holds a big responsibility. Not always am I tuned into the outside of my inside world. I have learned over the years with a lot of practice to hold the line and know which is mine. It demands a kind of detachment to be able to go through my day to day life. When it comes to those who I love and are in a relationship with, that’s a different story. Being so inner connected with them is enabling me to sense and even feel the emotions that are being stored. As well the situations or challenges they are connected with. Sometimes the knowing is difficult for others to accept or even to understand for that matter.
Yet when it comes to assist in healing or releasing stuck energy from within, I always known that this is part of me that can step up. It is like fine tuning of a radio station if you will. When it is required to be able to read the emotions and the challenge that comes with it, that is when I go within. It was necessary for me to learn to be more detached, because in the beginning of my lifetime it was all entwined. My inner world and the outer world where one so to speak as a child. Sensing and feeling the emotions of my family around me was not always easy. Even as a child I was asking what is wrong when I sensed the emotions of sorrow or pain in order to check when it wasn’t mine. The denial in the answers made it a challenge, to learn, which is mine and which isn’t part of my emotional world.
And do not worry that your life is
turning upside down.
How do you know that the side
you are used to is better than the one to come?
~ Rumi
I was reading these words and read the reply of someone else who had posted this. The great Unknown… I try to befriend this more and more. Sometimes it is very scary she replied to me. I answered it is still work in the process after my love made his transition this year, yet I also know, there is this deep inner knowing of our Love, which carries me through the day, into the loving arms at night, guarded and protected on a whole new level. For my life felt and still feels upside down at times after his departure and leaving me alone for the very first time in my life.
