Individuation and why you need it.

A perfectly timed critique from the community says that I am making my activities more personal, avoiding people, and also interested only in women with a big ass!

She is the kind of a woman I can write to. Because of her rare ability to sit down and read my articles which sometimes reach up to 1500 words. I should have said earlier that Nick’s Letters is a publication that welcomes women and to the required level appreciates and celebrates them. Or I should have sent a special email to you all women on March 8th as a sign of appreciation. But that is the past!

Anyway. Today, we are going to look at an interesting concept that further investigates the critique’s claims.

Here is a process that has been used for centuries to lead humans to eternal and true life happiness and enjoyment.

The same process that I am using and highly recommend. And the same process that you can embrace in your personal life.

Relying on the lessons of Swiss writer and psychiatrist Gustav Jung, individuation is a process through which a person achieves a distinct and separate identity from the commonly held beliefs by society.

You see, throughout life, people are prone to losing touch with certain aspects of themselves. They do this and find themselves living a life mainly characterized by anxiety, depression, low life satisfaction, lack of boundaries, and poor decision-making. And the truth is that for us to amount to any level of fulfillment, we must become individual people. We must become individual thinkers. Individual doers and even feelers. Truly, belonging to communities is essential by by nature, but being alone is rewarding.

It is taught by Christ Jesus in the Christian Bible.

Somewhere in the ebook of Matthew, Jesus told his followers, “ But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you”

This does not mean however that we should avoid public activities entirely. It means that the greatest rewards belong to the person who strives for improvement and spends time alone with themselves.

Praying is a form of action just as much as fitness exercises. You can do it alone. You can do it with people. But sticking to your regimen is much more rewarding. Trust me!

My good friend and reader. I am not speaking from my own high. I am not projecting my shite on you. Indeed, my critique was right. I am into fine lean girls but still won’t mind the thick big ass mummies. A personal preference if you ask me!

Yes. I made my own fitness regimen which makes me miss a lot of community activities at my local gym. I even found a gym with better equipment and thought I’d be gyming more there than my first gym. I created this newsletter so I could invite only people who vibe with my true identity and support the journey. This entire publication with already 40 articles and letters is purely an individual thing, yet it is helping build the foundation for the transformation of Gen Z boys and millennial men and women. How do I do it? Through dissecting ideas and sharing insights on various life topics like philosophy, psychology, health, and fitness and digital creation.

As you go through this powerful process of individuation…

the first and very normal sign is seeking privacy. You like spending time alone even away from those dearest and closest to you. You may disconnect from social media, you may become selfish and egocentric. You may find yourself struggling to see the world from the perspective of others. You rebel against cultural norms. You may reject all things to do with politics and mainstream media. And your friends and fam may simply conclude you are cutting them off. The good news is that it’s normal and you are going to get over it. With time!

Precisely why to my critique, she should chill. Because she, just like me and you, is on the journey of personal development that includes critiquing me. This journey never stops, never ends. Because individuation is a lifelong process!

Today, my family, step out of the track to adult existential crisis and depression by beginning the wonderful process of individuation. You need it, my friend. You are in this alone. But together with me!

Until next week.

P.S.
