Benefits of Spontaneity


Imagine a person working in a high pressure consulting job with extremely long hours.On one day of the week he is in Jakarta Indonesia at a clients and on the other he is advising another in San Diego.He literally lives out of a suitcase.He is stationed at the London office but base location is meaningless since he travels all the time.He has not bothered to rent or buy a house-he chooses Airbnb instead when he is in London few days per month.He has bloodshot eyes and a searing headache all the time.He does not remember the last time he could have a leisurely meal which lasted an hour and was at a table.

He has no personal time for hobbies,working out or even rest.His last relationship went down the drain when his half-thai girlfriend broke up with him as she accused him of utter neglect.He has not visited his parents in 1.5 years.

He is a living corpse in a suit

He craves to go scuba diving in the Maldives and shout his lungs out as he sky dives.

He craves life .

The only way he can do it is by breaking the rut and being spontaneous.

It is wonderful to be spontaneous because it helps:
  • Break the routine
  • Have new experiences
  • Enhance our creativity
  • Feel refreshed /rejuvenated

Hence I encourage you to embrace spontaneity.

The solution to this is to develop stronger boundaries, not take rejection personally and religiously practice inner bonding to develop a very strong sense of adult self.

  Characteristics of   trauma bonded relationships: A constant pattern of non-performance — your partner promises you things, but keeps behaving to the contrary. Others are disturbed by something that is said or done to you in your relationship, but you brush it off. You feel stuck in the relationship because you see no way out. You keep having the same fights with your partner that go round in circles with no real winner. You're punished or given the silent treatment by your partner when you say or do something "wrong." You feel unable to detach from your relationship even though you don't truly trust or even like the person you're in it with. When you try and leave, you are plagued by such longing to get back with your partner you feel it might destroy you        Key reasons for staying in trauma bonded relationships: Addictive quality It's a bit like becoming addicted to a drug.
