A good friend of mine, and fellow T4D subscriber shared the following with me yesterday and asked for my feedback on how it might be improved. My immediate response was, “May I share it as a T4D and invite all the readers to offer feedback?” My friend agreed. So here it is… enjoy and offer suggestions on how you think this analogy might be strengthened.
Just as we have a physical nervous system, we have a psychological one. Some of those nerves are “raw,” which is why we can “hit a raw” nerve, sometimes with only a word or two.
Our psychological nervous system is inflamed when we have unresolved insecurity. This makes us particularly vulnerable to having a raw nerve hit. Much of our poor behavior is rooted in our inflamed psychological nervous system – our insecurities.
Learning to identify and resolve our insecurities is a huge step forward in our growth, improving our behavior, and reaching our full potential.
We all have parts of our psychological nervous system that are inflamed. I believe there are many things we can do to address this, but a few ideas include:
- Recognize that courage is potent and a little goes a long way. Courage is often hidden in the secret chambers of the heart, so finding it may be a challenge, but once found and applied, the effect is tremendous.
- Listen to the feedback from others. Seek it out. Ponder it. Act on it.
- Honest and regular introspection.
- Pain is always temporary. Growing pains even more so, even though at times they feel overwhelming or permanent.
As our psychological nervous system heals our effectiveness increases and we begin to show our true selves openly and transparently. These can be magic moments of growth that create an inward momentum that propels us to strive for the best within ourselves.
Any feedback would be welcome.
