With self help and motivation industry booming and social media platforms flooding with a new way of dealing with your life challenges everyday, we are more confused about what should do about them and what it means to be a caretaker of self than ever before.
In this era of social media explosion we are more alone than ever. We are being force fed the concepts and analogies and metaphors and stories and make believe motivational content like no body’s business. And instead of feeling inspired we feel temporarily motivated and whole lot bad later and the cycle continues. But you already know that and there is no point discussing the cycle all over again neither will that help, won’t it?
So what is the point here?
Let’s break this down and start with the motivational and inspirational stories as a phenomenon. There are a whole bunch of those out there and everyday there is yet another video that goes viral globally. But what is the fuss all about? Is that useful? If yes, when? Let’s answer all of these right here, right now! Yes they are useful. Yes they help and I think that is part of the reason why there are so many of them and continue to be even today.
So why hasn’t it worked for you!?
I think that is slightly tricky to answer without a REALITY check. What have you tried getting over and is that the only place where it hasn’t worked and if yes where else has some of what you hear over the video helped.
The problem with current self help or motivation industry is that it is creating more isolation than inclusion or freedom while being based on the foundation of offering freedom. Freedom from whatever you may ask for – memory of bad relationship, fear of lossing a fortune on the share market or past failures or a bad behaviour, we have solutions for everything. And as it turns out you can find many videos on how to deal with any of your problem at your finger tip. But you gotta do it all by yourself and it may not be effective for everything.
While you can be insipred or directed by a thoughtful mantra you read as a child in a book or a mantra your boss used to believe in or something some one said it’s hard to apply the same logic when it comes to forming a new behaviour or letting go of a habit or eliminate fear or move past a phobia.
