The problem of limitations and susceptibility to stereotypical influence of the masses is one of the key deep problems in a person's perception of himself. Faced with how one has only to start dreaming about something, as you understand - "not for me." And the point is not that it is unattainable due to health or material wealth. This is because we simply put a block on any new business for ourselves. We have completely forgotten how to dream and realize, becoming more and more accustomed to the fact that "I can't do that."
Social stereotypes are what prevents us from becoming ourselves in the first place. “How can I buy myself a long, airy dress if my friends are wearing jeans?”, “How can I listen to rock, which I loved so much for several years in my youth? My relatives will not understand me!”,“I have to stay at home with my child. After all, if I go to work - what will my environment say! Now you understand what this is about. We are used to living the way society decided. Of course, it is impossible to live in absolute isolation from society and public opinion, but key life decisions require will, independence, adventure, if you like. Do you really want to buy clothes that few people seem to wear? Buy! Do you want to listen to music that you think is outdated (or not popular)? Listen! Do you want to devote your life to work? Work! You have the right to do what your inner self requires of you. Listen to yourself. There, inside, lives a small man who knows how to want and dream, regardless of the patterns.
Another significant difficulty that one has to face is limitations. Few people imagine how many frames we have created for ourselves, believed in them, and learned to adjust our entire way of life (and loved ones as well) into these frames. Just listen to some of the phrases: “I can't eat a piece of cake - otherwise my figure will suffer greatly”, “I can't go to visit friends, because my wife (my husband) will be against it, saying that it’s not normal to visit without her (him)”,“I have to return from work at exactly 17:30, otherwise my wife will think about the existence of another woman”,“cleaning the house needs to be done today, because it's dirty!”. Do you feel what it is about again? We create our own limitations by believing in them. Will a piece of cake really ruin the figure? Or is it because someone ignores moderate physical activity in principle? We really can't figure out the relationship in the family, discuss and talk about the procedure for visiting friends / friends? Is the spouse really worried about the betrayal or the problem is the lack of trust initially? Does cleaning have to be done today? And if family members have serious health problems - will the home environment not last until tomorrow?
But we are quite confident in our patterns and limitations. We are strictly convinced that it is so “necessary”, that it is so “right” that there is no other way. There are a lot of funny little things in our everyday life that we never thought about, but we always followed these everyday rules, because this is "necessary" - and to whom, why and why - we are of little interest in this question. The process of making pancakes is a good example. We are used to the fact that it is necessary to knead the dough with a whisk, and it is quite difficult to see another person who prefers a blender or mixer. Is not it?..
Expand the map of your actions.
Be creative.
Break stereotypes within yourself. Get away from restrictions. Often we ourselves drive ourselves into a prison that is hardly noticeable to anyone. You can be free today! Please come out!

Have you noticed how much time in life you devote to certain pleasures? Among all the types of pleasures of our time, we can list the following, into which we literally fall through and do not notice how much of our time they take - watching TV, TV programs, news, hanging on Facebook, VK, non-stop reading on the Internet, TV series and watching them or on TV.
Where There Is Guilt, There Is No Room For Responsibility
It happens that I peer into the harsh proverb "They carry water to the offended." This is when some suffer, and the responsibility for this lies with others. What is the ambush here. Until a person realizes the benefit of his suffering, there is no hope that he will get rid of it.

“I Don’t Like My Name And I Want To Change It!” Is There Any Other Way Out?
Once in school, in a psychology class, a teacher told us that the sweetest words for a person are his name, first name and patronymic. I looked at her not as a psychologist, but as a psycho. Because I hated my name. And from some of its forms I wanted either to disappear, or to turn inside out.

Last weekend with her eldest daughter I watched the world-renowned fascinating science fiction thriller "The Butterfly Effect" (with all four endings for the film). I saw him in my youth, came back to him again. Feelings and thoughts on re-viewing are completely, completely different … But the main idea of the film touched much more than before.
