Vulnerability is not a great place to be but we cannot fight that feeling away with ego, no matter how strong. Being vulnerable means to be not sure where one stands in his/her present life and who wants to assert on this fragile state with a fake sense of confidence which does not grow stronger as expected, but rather pushes one inch by inch to either come out of this cocoon or stay in it, self pity, regrets, weakness and all.
Ego and stubbornness are self destructive enemies in disguise and if integrated with one's emotional, mental state of thinking can make one become blinded by numb conviction to prove and work towards an ideal personality picture disconnected with true practicality of everyday life over and over again.
Feeling vulnerable as a result is not the sum of situations that make us stay in our cocoons, but our choice to want to stay inclusive of all its entrapments but not taking a call to undoing it through proactive actions.
What are then the proactive steps to take when one can choose to overcome this fragility with adequate strength?
1. Stop feeling inadequate and feeling sorry for yourself.
No matter how unpredictable life can be, remember that you have found your own ways to deal with it, problem after problem, one rough tide after another through your own intrinsic survival instincts. Just make sure you reevaluate them that the strengths that you think you have and have trusted them to pull you out of any situation all along are truly self empowering and growing as you age with maturity.
2. Get stronger inside and out
Just as mobile apps need to get updated to serve your practical needs, your body too needs a constant reality check starting with the types of food you eat and how frequently you do so, and how much you exercise your restraint while adding junk to your eating. Therefore it's not just physical exercise that helps stretch us out of inertia, but also how calm and equanimous is your strength of mind to feed on self nurturing thoughts that feed your spirit and not your ego. Practicing mindful awareness of breath from time to time for short spans in a day helps you identify what thoughts you need and what to focus as your awareness sharpens and gradually lifts the toxic thoughts which don't serve any purpose just as the junk food. This 'What thoughts are really necessary for me' diet is another discipline besides daily physical exercises and balanced food.
3.Express gratitude for what you have
Gratitude is a subtle yet an effective way to say how thankful you are for what you have in your life and not what you wish you had and how bad or weak as a result you feel about not having them.
Gratitude can't be acquired for a price, but does great wonders to the spirit boosting its sense of humility and cutting ego out of the feel good in order to stay happy in the now and not have regrets from the past. Money sure can make one gain power, but the true value of feeling good for your life, for what's still there in it, and for what you make of it are priceless.
The closure to this is Vulnerability is not a place of mental weakness that can be shrouded in the name of fears, emotional fragility, numerous mental blocks like helplessness, defenselessness and so on, but a tunnel that leads one to discover one's own light at the end of it.
