KEEPING IT SIMPLE - Imagine Being Whole - an excerpt
PAGE 98 - 101
You may be wondering how nice person can be the name of a negative emotional issue. Generally speaking a well-balanced, emotionally healthy individual is one who is able to feel and express in a healthy way all of his wide-ranging feelings. Perhaps sometimes he is nice but sometimes he is not. It is expected that a healthy human being has access to and free, healthy expression of an extremely wide range of emotions.
There are those among us who feel the need to appear as always a nice person. If this is you then you may be described as being nice, sweet, charming, friendly, always nice, nice, nice and nice. If this describes you then you will not know how to deal with anyone who is not nice. You will see the world through rose-coloured glasses and strive to keep the world at a distance. You can be so entrenched in niceness that when anything at all gets out of kilter you will know it is not your fault. How could it be? You are always so nice. You will keep your cool when all around you are losing it. You will walk away and leave the room when unpleasantness occurs.
You don't want to hear about any so-called not nice feelings in another; for example, anger, sadness or fear. It is certain you will never admit that you ever feel those feelings.
The truth is you probably don't. You are afraid of these feelings and strive to keep them buried within. You will always have a kind word to say as long as there are no difficult issues with which to deal.
This so-called nice person will look for the nearest bitch to take care of it for him.
Nice people avoid confrontation. And nice people truly believe that they are always nice. No one could ever accuse them of being otherwise.
But it is rare, indeed, that this person will find the courage to go within to discover what is often evident to others about them and that is the motivation behind all this niceness.
These people wear their niceness like a suit of armor to keep all unpleasantness away.
These nice people always ensure that they have someone in their lives to take care of those things that are not so nice. The individual who coined the phrase, Beware the nice guy! is offering timely advice.
Meditation with the focus on the Solar Plexus Chakra will give the nice practitioner an opportunity to look within and to observe the rigidity of this so-called niceness.
If you feel this issue applies to you then, if you choose, it is possible to get in touch with deeper feelings and emotions through psychospiritual therapy.
You can discover the potential to transform into a real person with a wide range of emotions available for you to use in the expression of your true essence, your true identity. You can begin to understand that it is not always nice to be nice.
