Imitation of Life
And How to Get Real
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

"Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those whom we cannot resemble," wrote Samuel Johnson. I would amend this to: "Almost all human misery and wasted living comes from the imitation of those whom we cannot resemble."

As a coach, I see it daily. I work with people in transitions, some of whom are well beyond burnout and driven to coaching in their healthy desire for relief from the stress and misery of imitating that which they can't resemble.

The realization that they can no longer tolerate doing something they weren't meant to be doing, no matter what the salary, comes in various forms -- physical aches and pains, migraines, depression, fatigue, irritability, flash anger, or numbness, the ability to feel nothing at all.

Emotions out-of-control is the general theme -- at one extreme, shutting down and feeling no pleasure because all the energy goes to managing the pain; or over-reacting, living in anger, hostility and mood swings which drive away loved ones, compromise work, and bring exhaustion in another way.

Sometimes the physical symptoms are the driving point. Other times an external crisis precipitates the epiphany -- the death of a parent, or getting fired. Other times it's depression and imploding relationships.

Depression is epidemic and immune deficiency conditions are proliferating. Stress and anger are known to compromise the immune system, which is our health. Chronic stress and chronic depression are associated with changes in the hippocampus (an area of the brain), and problems with learning and memory.

The effects are long-reaching, including putting you at risk for Alzheimer's Disease. According to a recent report in the journal Neurology on Alzheimer's Disease, subjects classified as highly prone to stress were shown to have twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's as those in the lower stress category.

Furthermore, there was a greater than tenfold increase in episodic memory decline (remembering events, not facts). The study found that chronic psychological distress is a risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease."

One of the greatest stresses we can put ourselves under is pretending to be what we're not, of asking ourselves to do things that are foreign to us. Buckingham and Clifton, authors of "Now, Discover Your Strengths," based on research on over 2,000,000 subjects, concluded that working within areas of your innate talents not only allows you to achieve near-excellence most of the time, but to do this without draining yourself.
