Kim Novak
challenges and difficulties

Kim has an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave her feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with her peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for Novak.

She may have nebulous but ever-present guilt and fears that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Kim Novak does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend herself from its dangers and its unknowns. Kim Novak must learn to overcome her ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

At times Kim Novak struggles with nebulous worries and insecurities, fears which may be difficult to name. Mostly, she may be afraid of getting acquainted with the inner workings of her mind and soul, feeling uneasy with anything irrational or intangible. Kim Novak has to work hard to overcome being overly serious regarding the spiritual side of life, especially if her religious upbringing emphasized guilt and retribution. Reorienting herself in the direction of spiritual optimism will do much to lift the cloud of worry that settles over Kim occasionally.

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

Kim Novak 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 her live also could suddenly pass away, leaving Novak free to do her own thing.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Kim Novak 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 Kim Novak 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 Novak'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.

Kim Novak 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 relationships with others that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. There is a dynamic balance (or conflict) within Kim Novak between acting spontaneously and being true to herself versus modifying herself or her behavior to suit others. Kim Novak seesaws between being inordinately concerned with her self to being overly conciliatory and concerned with others' needs, rights, or opinions about her. Learning to act authentically and forthrightly regardless of possible consequences is Novak's task.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Kim Novak back, or which she is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

Escapism through fantasy, intoxicants, or passive, vicarious activities (television, movies, etc.), waiting for a miracle instead of taking constructive steps to help herself, aimlessness or an inability to make and keep commitments, and self deception regarding other people. Kim has a tendency to be a martyr.
