This week on WritersNewsWeekly.com Karen Bence, author of Midnight Revelations (SterlingHouse Publisher 2008), writes about the kind of ghosts that you keep locked in your head–those counter-productive and often irrational little voices that are adept at throwing obstacles in the way of your success.
"You may find the idea of ghosts rattling around in your psyche to be a strange concept, but the fact is that no one goes through life in a vacuum. We all come out of a family with a unique style of navigating the world. Our actions and relationships commonly reflect how we have assimilated these strategies into our identity. How we handle pressure, expectations, attention, disappointment, conflict and success, as well as a whole range of human emotions have their deepest and earliest roots in our family of origin and preceding generations. The challenge is in recognizing which of these coping skills work in our favor and which ones become the ghosts that haunt and hinder our lives."
