For the event I had to end up talking to everyone that was running in warrior dash and I hated it. I had to find people’s names and give them their papers but what really sucks was when people got mad at me. They got mad because their papers weren’t their like it was my fault so, I ended up feeling discouraged. It also made me see how important family is to me and how I must do exciting things with them before it’s too late. I saw so many families just have the time of their life and enjoy themselves.
Towards the end of the chapter he provides strategies and exercises that we can practice and use in order to change our Perfectionism ways. The Pursuit of Perfect by Tal Ben-Shahar Are you constantly trying to keep up with your busy and sometimes stressful life while at the same time striving for happiness? We all want a perfect life but in reality and as most of us know, there is no such thing. We work so hard on something and we sometimes get let down and we often feel like a failure. In the Pursuit of Perfect by Tal Ben-Shahar, he sheds some light into the possibility of obtaining a happy life even with the struggles and challenges that may come our way.
I also believe I am very generous to a fault, friendly all of the time, overly sympathetic, and spoil people with kindness. I have been known to be one of the only managers at my previous job who actually cared about their direct reports. I feel it is important to know what is going on with those that report to you. In most cases I have found that the individuals that were not performing at their full potential were experiencing problems in their personal life and their performance was not contributed to a lack of training or a misunderstanding of a process. By showing that I care, it tends to make my employees feel they can trust me.
I do agree with certain parts of the results such as being a helper and being sensitive or emotional. I do not believe that I am good at using my imagination and creativity. I find working in unstructured environments extremely stressful, and I enjoy expressing myself but I hardly ever feel the need to do so.
Speech Anxiety For most people public speaking is extremely nerve-racking and causes a lot of anxiety, and I’m no different from any of those people. I hate giving public speeches. To be honest, I’m not quite sure why I have such a fear of public speaking. It’s nothing more than getting up in front of people and talking about things you know or love. I’ve tried a lot of techniques to try and calm my nerves.
I often look to other people’s opinions when trying to make decisions and I often feel that things that happen in my life are beyond my control which leads to feelings of helplessness. For example, when I am passed over for a promotion, I will justify it by attributing it to the persons connections or clout instead of taking an introspective look at the situation and determining what I could have done better. My backup thinking style, for which I scored in the 92nd percentile, is avoidance.
It is my hope that through the learnt therapies I will be able to provide my clients with a greater understanding of their feelings and behavior and the help I can give them will hopefully lead to the client living a more fulfilled and meaningful life without the need for constant support. I have always had the ability to put myself in other people’s shoes and I am told I am an excellent listener. I do believe that no one knows what’s best for us than us, we are all unique and all need to find our own way but sometimes we need some help and guidance doing this when it feels too much or when maybe we can’t see a way out. This course and hopefully the following level 5 diploma will really help me hone my therapist skills and give all of the knowledge and skills to best support and guide my clients.
The ones I think need to be further developed are interpersonal skills, because even though I’m good at getting along I sometimes tend to stick more to myself than socializing with others, and thinking strategically because I don’t always look at the big picture. I gained self-motivation just recently when I realized my life was going nowhere and only I could change it. I believe I have always had inquisitiveness because I have always questioned everything. I have flexibility because I can adapt to change in an easy manner with no issues. I just recently started working on the weekends, I don’t always know if I’m working or what time I’m starting, The cleaning service I work through (my boss) will call if she needs me.
Even though we were there to help, I believe we got a lot more back. We got the experience of helping others and learning while doing so. It’s funny how the opportunity to help the world hangs over every ones head, but few realize it. Why not take it? Many people may look at it as too much work and lost time.
I like to pride myself by my ability to stay objective in arguments and take in different peoples perceptions, but once in a situation where I had forgave my partner, and my partner did not agree that she was in the wrong. I did not like the fact that my
