How To Survive Being A Gen X

 

 

A recent survey confirmed Gen X views that they are stressed out by the pressures and expectations

placed on them by other people – family, work, relationships, money, ageing…you name it.

 

In such a pressure-cooker life, we tend to forget:

·                     the needs of self – the inner self who yearns to enjoy being expressed and nurtured. Having

quality ‘time for me’ is seen as a distant dream.

·                     people aren’t schizophrenic. The inner person is the whole person. Natural desires of the inner person

are constantly at war with the outer demands of other people. If the inner person isn’t nurtured,

the outer demands burn us out. Then everybody loses.

 

It’s not a matter of more leisure and less work, but of more attention to natural growth and development.

Our growth, self esteem and passion for life are products of the inner person’s desires, abilities and interests. 

An hour of ‘flight’ can sustain a day of ‘fight’ if, during that hour, the inner person is allowed to enjoy the freedom of self-expression.
