Over my three and a half decades of counseling, I came to recognize a pattern among many of my clients that involved common-yet-destructive misconceptions about emotional strength and emotional weakness. I found that individuals with the lowest levels of self-confidence generally held tightly to the beliefs or behaviors described below. In my book “90 Seconds To A Life You Love”, I talk about 14 beliefs that characterize low-confidence individuals. A few of them are: disdain uncomfortable and unpleasant feelings doubt or question most things they say or do are hesitant to take risks often feel anxious tend to worry about being a burden to others worry about what others think of them What have you been taught about emotional strength and weakness?
Do any of the following comments sound familiar to you? Tearfulness and crying make you look weak. Tough it out. Buck up.
Get over it. Join my group on Facebook group LOVE MY LIFE on Wednesday 3:30pm PST and let me know what your thoughts are about emotional strength. I can respond directly to you then. See you there!To A Life You Love,Dr.
