Kris Kristofferson
challenges and difficulties

Kris Kristofferson often has a sense of longing or homesickness for something he cannot name or specify, and he may sense both a great attraction toward, and fear of, mysticism and parapsychology.

Overcoming feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, or over sensitivity is an important task for Kristofferson.

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

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

Kris has an inner conflict between idealism, hope and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression due to limitations and practical realities. Kris Kristofferson needs to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve his aspirations. Kristofferson will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.

Basically shy, Kris may become a bit inhibited when talking with other people. Kris Kristofferson tends to withdraw from others and likes to live a humble, quiet life in seclusion. He may get involved with a group of a secretive nature, although Kristofferson is not generally one to join groups.

He is inclined to preserve and build up his heritage. Others are attracted to him, but at the same time Kris Kristofferson gives the impression of being unapproachable. Kristofferson tends to hold back his feelings and is somewhat inhibited with others, especially in his love relationships.

Kris Kristofferson has a sense of duty and responsibility, but may find it difficult to make up his mind and come to a decision. Kristofferson is somewhat slow to act, and his need to be fully prepared inclines him to let good opportunities slip away at times.

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

Kris Kristofferson has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that he is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Kris Kristofferson needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

When under stress, he has a strong instinct to retreat back to the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, he may encourage others to depend on him emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Kris Kristofferson needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

It is in his dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above are ones Kris Kristofferson needs to integrate in tangible ways: how he makes a living, building assets and a secure material base, what he does with the resources he has. Kris Kristofferson should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Kris Kristofferson back, or which he is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

Being excessively egocentric or proud, needing personal recognition and applause, wanting to be center stage all the time, needing to be important and special.

The tendency for self-indulgence, laziness, and over-reliance on the generosity or affection of others, as well as making love relationships, social life and superficial pleasures more important than anything else in his life.

Kristofferson considers the ability to think and speak convincingly as the most powerful instrument one can possess. He always strives for intellectual control in his environment and tends to dominate his relationships. Kris Kristofferson has a strong desire to be the spokesman in his community.
