Hello!

I have a question. And I'm playing devil's advocate here so please don't be taken aback by my egocentric questioning. 

If you've got as far as this forum I'm thinking you've probably heard about the real self underneath the mask (how we like to be perceived) and all the horse manure (our self-doubts or even hates). In fact it was even mentioned in today's tip. But can someone or many people please give me a concrete example of what this real self is and how you can be this in the real world?

Apparently this real self is the source of real happiness and self-esteem so I would like to find it, it sounds like a very nice place to reside  . But really, I'd like to know what I'm looking for! And I'm genuinely asking because it sounds great and... well I have too many self help books talking about something abstract that I'm supposed to know about underneath it all but actually, maybe I don't know but would like to learn. What I love about Michael's books is that they are so practical but this basic principle is a bit of a sticking point with me.

I just thought it might be interesting to see how different people experience this real self and how you bring it to your everyday lives.

Can't wait to hear from you.

Thanks for replying Limbo.

I thought along the lines of this but kept trying to think of THE way to behave.

I'll let you know how I get on.
 

Hi

I have been a member of this for a while but couldn't get a password reminder through  so just signed up again!

Just thought you guys would like to know I've put a few of my library of books (all in mint condition, no really, they are!) on eBay (see links below) that may be of interest to you! They all start at 99p and there is no reserve. If you want to buy any of these from me and live outside of the UK, bid on them anyway and we'll arrange postage.

Good luck, happy bidding! 

Ruth

Hello!

I'm a big fan of Michael's books and would love it if any of you could help me with this challenge.

I've been doing a bit of experimentation with The Sedona Method which I first heard about through the daily coaching tips on here. Suddenly, I've come across a mountain of anger and fear about other people. It's been there so long I didn't notice and it now feels normal! My anger is towards people who don't share my values, are very critical (mainly my dad) of people who have all "the stuff" we'd all like to have or some of you may have or have or let themselves get pushed around by others (mainly my mom).

I'm 26 and feel a bit old to be having these feelings towards my parents and it's just plain not nice!

On the other side when I am around happy, confident and successful people I feel very out of place and just want to run away and hide! (Followed by a beating for myself for feeling and acting this way).

Any suggestions on how I can be around my parents and accept them even when they're acting in ways I don't like and further, how to feel comfortable around confident people?

Thanks for listening,

Ruthie
