So, second post in a row about touchy-feely crap. But I ran 3.1 miles (5K) and had some time to think. Hopefully I will move past this aspect of my blog. But stick with it...
Last week my shrink talked about self-actualization. When she explained it I said it sounded too much like self-help-touchy-feely books. Then she said she did her doctoral thesis on it and I felt like a total tool. In an attempt to get back in her good graces, I told her I would think about it over the week. And I have. (But why do I care if my shrink likes me? Don't I pay her to like me?)
Basic premise of self-actualization:
I have inside myself what I need to do what I want.
Self-help book, am I right? But the more I think about it (on my run today) the more it makes some sense.
I have inside myself the strength to push myself to my physical limits.
I have inside myself the patience to take life one step at a time.
Think about it. Try it.
You have inside yourself the strength to do what you want with your life.
You have inside yourself the determination to reach the goals of your life.
Think about it.
