Damian Lewis
challenges and difficulties

Lewis either overvalues or undervalues his possessions and assets. He can also go to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires, being either hedonistic or ascetic. Damian Lewis may deny himself sensual pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of his labors. He may also be stingy and unable to give freely. Many times Damian Lewis feels that he does not have "enough" to make him feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) he has!

He may have vague but ever-present feelings of guilt and fear that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Damian Lewis does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend himself from its dangers and its unknowns. Damian Lewis must learn to overcome his ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

The side of Damian Lewis that wants and needs structure, order, stability, and a disciplined way of life is at odds with his urges for unfettered freedom, change, excitement, and discovery. There is apt to be much discontent, inner stress, and tension as a result, and at times Damian finds it hard to relax. Damian Lewis may act out in a rebellious way now and then, or clamp down hard on himself, in an attempt to strictly control his "wild" impulses. Lewis' task is to try to find a reasonable balance between order and creative chaos in his life.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Damian Lewis instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Damian Lewis needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Damian Lewis' path lies in cultivating idealism and humanitarian feelings, being concerned with how Lewis' actions impact the world at large, perhaps becoming more aware of the social implications of Lewis' life style and personal choices or becoming active politically. Participating in organizations that support Lewis' ideals is one way to do this.

When under stress he is likely to become overly focused on himself and his own little world.

Instead of "how will this benefit or hurt me?" Lewis' focus needs to shift to "how will this affect us all?".

Ideally, Damian Lewis needs to strike a balance between doing for himself and doing for others, by discovering how Lewis' unique gifts can benefit others.

It is in his public life and career that Damian Lewis is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The latter will impact Lewis' reputation and standing in his community or professional circle, as well as how Damian Lewis achieves his important life goals and aspirations.

The following are specific activities that will support Damian Lewis in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Lewis, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Damian Lewis should develop true self-confidence and the willingness to put himself "out there", be seen and shine. Damian needs to be willing to take on a leading role. He needs to be a hero - a protagonist in his own story - by cultivating the courageous, active, and positive masculine qualities he possesses. Doing creative work that he is proud of - anything that comes from Lewis' heart and bears the stamp of Lewis' individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than he is a way for Damian Lewis to grow and become more whole himself.

Lewis is somewhat shy and tends to feel inferior when he is with others. Damian Lewis is inclined to establish relationships with weak or sick people and is always willing to help or take care of them.
