Positive Narcissism
|
|
We are often prone to
depression, stress and other negative influences. Well, we can blame it on
our gross indifference to ourselves. How many of us ever take time to
treat ourselves with love and care!
May be social restrictions
bind us in a big way. As a result, we hardly care for our precious life.
Many a times, we wish to enjoy a siesta, but go against it!
Imagine, we don’t want to
give this small comfort to our tired mind and body. Many a times, we want
to enjoy a long drive, but again we are bound in a time frame.

Following reasons often
play spoilsport -
Time Frame: We have adopted a very straightjacket approach to
life. We often set deadlines which hardly suits our inner self. As a
result, we hardly enjoy the ‘process’ but crave for ‘end results’. Why
can’t we go easy on our time. Does it matter, if we reach office late by
ten minutes or does it matter if we enjoy a siesta.
Social Barriers: All of us want to
dance, sing, read and enjoy our precious moments. But, we all are scared
of imaginary social taboos! We often give in to ‘Others’ and lose a big
part of our life bemoaning over lost moments. Actually, there are no such
social barriers other than those set by us!

Callousness : Why do we feel shy to
enjoy something new. Why should not one go for something new or enter an
unknown terrain. We hardly take care of our physical needs - right food
and right mindscape. There is an old saying; there is no age for anything.
If we are physically fit, then there is no reason to ignore our mental
strength.
Self Consciousness : We constantly judge ourselves on social
benchmarks. For example, we pay more attention to what others say about
us. It is a strange thing. We get embarrassed because of others but won’t
take that extra step to enjoy our life. After all, how can others dictate
us to do what is right or wrong to us.
|
Remember, all societies stick to different benchmarks. If X hates a
particular thing, then Y may endorse it.
Finally, it is our body and mind that is going to be affected by the
outside or inner influences.
Critics may condemn
Narcissism as an ‘exceptional interest in yourself’, but it does have
certain advantages. It is simply a way to pay attention to one’s inner
self. Well, so long as we wish to treat ourselves with love and respect,
there is nothing wrong with it. If we don't want love ourselves, then why
would others!
