challenges and difficulties

Emily Post has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Emily is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but she may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. Emily Post often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.

There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Post's which may inhibit her a great deal. Emily Post must avoid becoming heavy and cynical, or becoming a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose practicality and realism squeeze out the playful, imaginative side of life.

Emily Post has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything she does. Caution and realism are her virtues though Emily limits herself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in herself enough or being assertive when necessary. Others find Emily Post difficult to get to know intimately, as Post tends to distance herself from them or to put forth a rather stern, "adult" face to the world.

Emily Post strives and struggles a great deal with her ideals or spiritual aspirations. She may go through periods of self-denial, asceticism, and in-depth study of religious philosophy and spiritual practices, or she may lose heart and become cynical about religious ideals; however, she can never quite divorce herself from her idealistic concerns.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Emily Post instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her.
