Beingness

In navigating the complexities of life, our ways of being β€” physically, emotionally, socially, and behaviourally β€” shape our experiences and interactions. The Wild Horse lifestyle, strongly influenced by a victim mentality and characterised by its untamed and reactive nature, has profound effects on our well-being. Let’s delve into the traits associated with this lifestyle to gain insight into its impact on our beingness:

Physically:
  • Various vague aches and pains may manifest daily.
  • Indigestion, particularly heartburn, could occur frequently.
  • Chest pains and headaches, potentially leading to migraines in severe cases, frequently appear.
  • Stomach issues such as ulcers and a spastic colon arise.
  • Expect discomfort in the lower back, shoulders, neck, and arms.
  • Muscle spasms and fatigue syndrome (ME) tend to develop.
  • Make sure to monitor blood pressure, as it might rise and to prevent it from getting out of control.
Emotionally:
  • Anxiety, irritability, and a sense of being easily threatened are prevailing.
  • Frequent occurrences of feeling hassled, jealous, and fearful might happen.
  • Panic and extreme sensitivity could be common.
  • Might experience disagreements as personal attacks, causing the holding of grudges.
  • Could fear and avoid change.
Socially:
  • Relationships, both personal and professional, may become strained.
  • Social interactions and outings might decrease.
  • Unassertive or aggressive behaviour might be observed.
  • Workplace conflicts could be consistent.
  • The oscillation between over-pleasing and harbouring resentment towards others often occurs.
  • A sense of entitlement may prevail, with feelings of being owed by others.
Behaviourally:
  • Constant rushing or expressing frustration is quite common.
  • Aggressive actions, both active and passive, may be present.
  • Compensatory behaviours might become routine.
  • Making excuses for missed deadlines might be habitual.
  • Sleeplessness and insomnia could become frequent.
  • Chronic tension and an inability to relax might be apparent.
  • Relaxation may seem elusive, with a perpetual sense of being on the go.
  • Competitiveness and defensiveness might be prominent.
  • Skipping meals or rushing through them might be habitual.
  • Crisis management might become routine.
  • Long work hours and blaming others for failures might become standard.

Understanding the manifestations of a Wild Horse lifestyle is essential for recognising its influence on our lives. From physical discomfort to emotional turmoil, and strained relationships to habitual behaviours, the repercussions are far-reaching. By acknowledging these patterns, we empower ourselves to break free from the confines of victimhood and reclaim agency over our well-being.
