Jonathan Richman
challenges and difficulties

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

He frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. Jonathan Richman may be something of a hypochondriac also. Jonathan must learn that he does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax his unnecessarily high or strict standards.

Richman is generally not a "joiner" and he does not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered on some common ideal or interest. If Jonathan Richman does participate in a group, he may find the rules and procedures restrictive - or he may simply feel that he does not fit in with the others.

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits Jonathan Richman better than being with groups of his own peers.

Somewhat inhibited in initiating relationships with others, Jonathan Richman may prefer to be by himself. Jonathan could feels that he does not fit in very well with others and as a result may have difficulties in team-work with groups or associations.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Jonathan Richman 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 Jonathan Richman 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 Richman's deeply ingrained perfectionism and critical nature. When under stress, he is apt to try to rigorously analyze and focus on what needs to be corrected or improved, and he can easily become problem-oriented and lose sight of the big picture.

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

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

Jonathan Richman seems to have an innate sense of cosmic awareness and is likely to have strong psychical or metaphysical talents. He is inclined to join some parapsychology groups where he may share his unusual experiences with others.
