Daniel Day-Lewis
challenges and difficulties

Daniel Day-Lewis has a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, he prevents himself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. Day-Lewis is more rigid and dogmatic than he realizes. His approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. Daniel Day-Lewis takes his own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if he is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

It may be difficult for Daniel Day-Lewis to play spontaneously or just let his hair down, for he tends to inhibit that side of his by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression he is making.

Daniel may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for he wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged, and recognized as special in some way. Though he may indeed be outstanding, Daniel Day-Lewis also needs to learn to relax and enjoy himself more.

Daniel Day-Lewis strongly rebels against any restrictions and may have the desire to break away, over-throwing all thought of responsibility. On the other hand, limitations in his live also could suddenly pass away, leaving Day-Lewis free to do his own thing.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Daniel Day-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 Daniel Day-Lewis needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

He is capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on his path, but when under stress Daniel Day-Lewis becomes downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change may be. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what he has, he is apt to ignore the subtle signals he receives about needing to do something differently, which often leads to a crisis.

Daniel Day-Lewis needs to learn the limits of his ability to control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow for new life and growth. "Letting go" is a major life lesson for him. Day-Lewis also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward his appetites and desires, as Daniel Day-Lewis tends to overindulge and/or deny himself excessively.

It is in trying to strike a balance between Day-Lewis' inner, personal life and his career or involvement with the world at large that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Daniel Day-Lewis needs to focus attention on his home and family situation, and create a secure inner anchor.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Daniel Day-Lewis back, or which he is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

Excessive thinking, rationalizing or talking, the overuse or misuse of Day-Lewis' intellectual abilities and the tendency to allow his energy to be dissipated in trivial activities.
