Do you keep things secret?

Keeping things secret can drain enormous amounts of our energy. We should try to avoid keeping secrets and have a 'secret free' happy environment.
-Orly Katz

Your parents get divorced. Would you try and act as if everything is the same as usual at home, and not tell a single soul?

You’re getting towards the end of your schooling but still can’t read very well. Would you try to hide this and pretend to everyone that you can read?

You realize you can’t see the board in class. Would you try to keep that hidden so you won’t have to wear glasses?

You have a handicapped brother who lives in a home for children with special needs. Would you keep him a secret from your friends?

Your father loses his job, and your family is struggling financially. Would you hide this from your friends?

You are an open person:

There’s no doubt about it, you’re a very open person who tells people things and doesn’t hide anything. That’s excellent. Just watch out that you don’t sometimes share things that aren’t relevant to the listeners, who might not need to know absolutely everything. Apart from that, you’re doing great, keep it up!

You have some secrets:

You’re aware of the fact that it’s not healthy to keep too many things hidden away. There are some things that you don’t share with anyone and others that you are more open about. Try to understand what helped you be open about things in the past and try practicing doing the same with the “big secrets” you hold on to as well. I promise this will make you feel better.

You have many secrets:

Your second name is “mysterious”. You are the champion at keeping things hidden. “No one can ever know…” Worrying about your secrets uses up a lot of your time, energy, and peace of mind. It does fill you with energy… negative energy. I recommend that you start sharing and telling others, and see how the skies brighten up, the sun starts to shine. You will feel happier and most importantly, you will have lightened your load!
