Tia Tanaka
challenges and difficulties

Tia Tanaka has a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, she prevents herself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. Tanaka is more rigid and dogmatic than she realizes. Her approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. Tia Tanaka takes her own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if she is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

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

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

She is serious and sincere about her interests, does not accept superficial answers and is not easily placated. Tia wants her inspirations to become reality and she does not mind upsetting a few apple carts in the process. Tia Tanaka becomes impatient with others for being hesitant to implement new ideas and take action, and her occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

Tia may find it difficult to express herself, thereby feeling inhibited and lonely at times. She tends to isolate herself from others and her relationships come across as strained. Conditions in Tia Tanaka's parental home may be oppressive and strained.

Her emotional life is likely to be somewhat strained and she has a tendency toward pessimism. Tia Tanaka may not feel as close in her relationships to her loved ones as she would like to, and Tia may find it difficult to give and receive love.

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

Seeking harmonious interpersonal relationships, cooperation, and togetherness, as well as the desire to please or appease other people, are drives that come very naturally to Tia Tanaka - so much so that she seeks them out at her own expense. When she is under stress, Tanaka tends to look outside herself for approval or answers, and she leans on others too much. Therefore, developing self-reliance, and the courage to look inwardly for answers and forge her own path through life is a key factor in her self-development.

Tia Tanaka is often tempted to be less than completely straightforward about her intentions or desires, and she can become enmeshed in a quagmire of "little white lies". Stark honesty - both inward and toward others - is the only way out! This, however, leads to the need to confront some of Tanaka's most deeply ingrained fears, such as "what if they do not like me?" and "what if I have to go through this alone?".

Tia Tanaka needs to cultivate her ability to be assertive, take initiative and act on her own behalf. Directness and self-reliance are imperative.

It is in her public life and career that Tia Tanaka is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The latter will impact Tanaka's reputation and standing in her community or professional circle, as well as how Tia Tanaka achieves her important life goals and aspirations.
