Many of us are still fighting playground bullies

We have maintained and still try to improve our physical appearance; exercising for an ideal body weight and for improved health, dressing up and looking nice. We just are still in the stone age with taking care of our mental health. It seems as though most of what we focus on is what others can see and admire. Our conditioning is designed to make us pay attention to areas to which others have a say. We are happier when we hear, " You look slim!"

"Look at your hair!"

" Love your make up!"

" Wow! Those muscles though!"

We are still in the stone ages bullying ourselves and one another psychologically. Many of us remain slaves to our emotions and negative thoughts. This part of existence is what others cannot see with their eyes. Others can sometimes witness the changes in our behaviour. In fact, at times the external bullies can have a problem with these positive changes in us.

How we bully ourselves

1. For example, a strikingly looking human who everyone is admiring on the outside, might be struggling with their thoughts. What others believe about them is less than what they believe about themselves. That is because external appearance is just one of nature's flowers. Beyond this attractive person's looks, they might not have confidence. They might be insecure in their relationship, or might even be jealous , resentful and critical of other humans. 2. A financially wealthy human might be a slave to their money and wealth. Beyond their wealth they might have no social skills. They could even have a raging temper and fear from being owed a "mother" in childhood.

3. A proud educated human, successful in their career might not know how to create boundaries in their social circles. They might be unable to say no, because they might link worthiness with being liked. They might have invested in being academically aware, but lack emotional intelligence.

4. A person might be very liked by others, but this person might not like themselves. The person might lack self-compassion and self-respect. They are self-critical and punish themselves with negative thoughts.

5. Another human being can be great at helping others, but too others focused, and unable to address their own struggles. They cannot sit with their emotions and parent themselves.

These people are still in the playground fighting with bullies. Bullies within and bullies without. For this reason, they might need to look into advancing their technology that improves their psychological existence. There is need to chisel their internal beauty, build up inner wealth and store up confidence.

Whatever admirable attribute they possess can be helpful catalysts to the improvement of their psychological existence. They need to heal the inner child to get out of the toxic playground.
