    Hi The One,

    Ok, so perhaps we need to know a bit more about you first. It sounds as though you already recognize that our minds create different personas (or masks) and that you recognize this isn't your true Self.

    I think you probably already know (because of where you've asked the question) that meditation is a great tool for helping you to become more focused on your true Self.

    Another possibility (and I've just recommended this on another thread to someone else), is to have a go at the exercises on the Headless Way website...

    The Headless Way

    At the end of the day, there will likely always be times when we forget ourSelves and take on a persona, but the more we practice, the more we recognize when this happens and we can do something about it.

    Hugs

    Giles

    Having just re-read the title of your thread were you actually referring to another "person" rather than "persona"?

    Apologies if I've gone off-track with my previous response.

    your right, I do feel sometimes with multiples me, I can’t be myself when I can’t recognize my true me. Meditation has helped me a lot but, sometimes I fail and go back to the same old. Some of the factors which lead to all of this were my failure in my relationships, for some reason I lost confidence in myself.

    Ok you may have never tried it. By concious breathing, your attention is focused, and so nothing can disturb you. The more you do it, the longer you can do it. And you can do it everywhere... in the car, in the sub, in the office, while cooking...

    This has helped not only me through the most stressful times of my life so far.

    Atb,
    Phil
