GIVING UP ON BEING PERFECT (Letting Go To Become Yourself)
A more accurate way of saying; “giving up on being perfect,” would be to say; “what do we have to do before we will accept ourselves?” The picture each of us has about him or herself is a portrait based largely on information provided to us by our social experiences. We are almost constantly adding information from our environment about the effects of our attitudes and behaviour on others and their reactions to us. Such social reactions form the basis for our feelings about other people and help us develop our view of what each of us is like as a person. For many years psychologists have been interested in the role of the self-image in personality development. How much and how well we accept what we see as our “self,” is an important part of our emotional health.

THINGS YOU MIGHT FIND DIFFICULT
“Love means never having to say you’re sorry!” You may or may not be old enough to remember that line from the movie; “LOVE STORY,” which believe it or not came out all the way back in 1970. I suppose the rationale for what was meant here was that love is unconditional and therefore does not require apologies. Combining love with apologizing seemed like a good lead into what I wanted to write about this month. Life presents us with all kinds of challenges and at times there are a number of things all of us find difficult. Two of those in particular that many find difficult are; saying we’re sorry and telling someone we love them!
Where Are You In Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs?
As a social work and psychology student, Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs was a theory in which we focused a great deal of time. According to Maslow, there are five levels of needs, ranging from physiological to self-actualization. It is difficult to move from one level to the next without first meeting your needs at the lower level. If you can identify where you are currently at in the hierarchy, it will give you a better understanding of where you are coming from and what you need to do to reach the fifth and final step, self-actualization.

FEELING GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF
Abraham Maslow the renowned psychologist and creator of the HIERARCHY OF NEEDS once said that one of the best ways to begin feeling better about yourself was to set meaningful, attainable goals and then see yourself achieving them. He would go on to tell anyone who might be experiencing a low to average level of self-esteem to search out the origions of this negative view of the self and once done begin to set goals which are going to lead ‘away’ from those original aching experiences of life toward a more self-actualized self.
