Gianna Distenca
challenges and difficulties

Gianna Distenca has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Gianna is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but she may lack the capacity for joy and play. Gianna Distenca 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 Distenca's that may inhibit her a great deal. Gianna Distenca must avoid becoming cumbersome and cynical, or a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose sense of practicality and realism rob her of the playful, imaginative side of life.

It may be difficult for Gianna Distenca to play spontaneously or just let her hair down, for she tends to inhibit that side of her by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression she is making.

Gianna may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for she wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged and recognized as special in some way. Though she may indeed be outstanding, Gianna Distenca also needs to learn to relax and enjoy herself more.

Her faith, optimism, and sense of possibilities are tempered by a great deal of caution, and often doubt or skepticism as well. Whatever hopes or visions Gianna Distenca has for her life are firmly held in check by her sense of reality. At times she may wish for more freedom, but Gianna also fears it and holds back. Gianna Distenca may blame practical limitations, some external condition or the prevailing Authority for her own inhibitions.

Gianna Distenca takes her ideals and dreams very seriously and goes through periods of fervent dedication to a lofty ideal or vision. Gianna has the ability to acquire true spiritual or imaginative insight, but she can also become so involved in her imaginative, idealistic pursuits that she looses perspective and develops feelings of alienation and isolation.

She is inclined to be somewhat withdrawn and has a hard time discussing important matters with her family and close relationships. As a serious and deep thinker, Gianna Distenca would like to explain her views to others, but has a difficult time finding the right words.

Somewhat shy, Gianna finds it difficult to relate to people and tends to withdraw from others. Since it is hard for Gianna Distenca to establish relationships, she would rather be by herself. Gianna prefers everything to be simple or plain and prefers a more humble and secluded life.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Gianna Distenca 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. The direction Gianna Distenca needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Cultivating the qualities of empathy, gentleness, and compassion will help counterbalance Distenca's deeply ingrained perfectionism and critical nature. When under stress, she is apt to try to rigorously analyze and focus on what needs to be corrected or improved, and she can easily become problem-oriented and lose sight of the big picture.

Gianna Distenca has to learn to relax and surrender to the flow of events without having to figure everything out all the time. She should let her feelings and intuitions flow more freely, be more flexible and fluid, use her imagination and let her dreams emerge!

It is in her marriage and other intimate, one-to-one relationships that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. She may see the qualities that she needs to develop more fully (described above) in her partner. It is important for Gianna Distenca to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in her life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them herself. Gianna Distenca has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about herself through others.
