Giulietta Masina
challenges and difficulties

Giulietta Masina has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. She is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that she discourages herself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Masina knows it should be done.

She frequently over analyzes or picks things apart mentally. Giulietta Masina may also be somewhat of a hypochondriac. Giulietta must learn that she does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax her unnecessarily high or strict standards.

Giulietta Masina takes both her work and her health very seriously, but she may demand so much of herself at work that she compromises her health. Giulietta can become a workaholic, not so much because she has lofty ambitions, but because she never feels like she has done enough. Giulietta Masina is overly responsible or overly conscientious at work, so much so that she may not enjoy it at all.

Masina can also get overly involved in self-improvement or her health, and she tends to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

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

Instinctively she is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Giulietta stands alone when she does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Giulietta Masina has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that she must be self-reliant and that only she can come up with the answers she needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate her from others, or make Giulietta Masina feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Giulietta Masina calls social "games" do not come naturally to her. Giulietta Masina needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.

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 Giulietta Masina to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in her life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them herself. Giulietta Masina has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about herself through others.
