If you want to improve yourself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding you back and preventing your evolution. These might include your defensive attitudes, your fear of being dispossessed, your ambivalence, your radicalism, and your over-reliance on your instincts.

Aniela is sensitive and impressionable. This can be a productive and creative factor, but if she does not manage to control her emotionalism, it can also hamper her adaptation to the realities of life. Were that to be the case, her ability to find happiness within herself could gradually cut her off from her environment. She must thus work on detaching herself from her emotions and getting a handle on her sensitivity. Her intuitive ability to perceive other people’s inner energies could predestine her for a socially oriented career. As a caregiver, healer, helper, guide, or advisor, she could succeed in teaching, psychology or psychiatry, or social work.
