I watched a video on youtube the other day about the media and TV shows and they have such a big impact on people. They make us question our own values and plant these idea's into our minds about what specific gender roles are etc. And it's so true. I just don't want to watch TV anymore. I'm sick of questioning some of the things I believe, things that I use to believe so strongly in. And I'm not saying its not good to question what you believe because sometimes that's a good thing. But I think more so when you question it in a positive way, to better it. The ways it has made me question mine... the only way I can think of to explain it, is negative questioning.
I guess its all in learning and growing. Deciding where I stand on different subjects, but it makes it harder deciding where I stand when I get such mixed signals from everyone/everything.
I just feel like going to some remote place, by myself with no people anywhere. So I can be alone and just decide everything, figure everything out. And I know that all wouldn't happen at that one time, but to at least give me a starting point. With absolutely no influences, so I can make my decisions and for them to be mine alone. I know I could do it where I am now, but it would probably just be much easier being in some secluded beautiful location :P
Even though I will continue to question and grow once I have decided these things, at least I will have my bases so I can know I am stepping on firm ground instead of in some kind of quick sand. Because especially being a psychologist you need to be willing to have your personal beliefs questioned, to step out of the comfort zone and be open to other opinions. But never stop questioning... just because someone says something does not mean they are right. Don't accept something someone says if it doesn't sit right with you, always question. Only accept when you too believe it wholeheartedly, but still allow it to be questioned. I don't want to let myself believe everything is concrete, I want to just be open. Go with the flow bro haha! I want to help people and I want to help them find their feet. I want to help people find happiness. I know I can't do it for them but I want to support them in their findings. Be a positive encouragement for them. I want to help change people's lives for the better, even if its in the smallest way.
