self-defeating mind games that we all play

There are several self-defeating mind games that we all play to some extent in life, and it is not dependant on us been survivors; although we do have a habit of falling into the trap more often than non survivors.

These games are self-defeating in so far as they are ways we use to try and survive; they usually end up with the opposite results to those that would be healthy and rewarding to us. We are buy no means saying that we all play these games all the time, but it’s a fare bet that you will recognise some of these in your life and in your past.

Before we can change how we react to a given situation, it helps if we can understand how we currently deal with such things. Once we have done that we can plan for, and even practice for, using different, healthier ways in the future.

There are 6 main games that we play in our life, and these are; -

1. Don’t play the game. (under construction)

2. Become a problem.

3. Be the nice guy. (under construction)

4. Change the rules. (under construction)

5. Lies and gossip. (under construction)

6. Get them before they get you. (under construction)

They may not look at all relevant to your life by just looking at them on the list above, but if you look at the examples of each of them that we list, I think you will be more than a little surprised.

As we have said before, often we will not have any answers for you, but if we can help you be aware of the things going on around you now, then you have a far improved probability of finding healthier ways forward in life.
