Greetings Everyone! |
Happy Valentine's!
Can you believe it's February all ready! Time seems to move faster when we are busy, and I thank God for that. I have become VERY aware of how slow time can move since I started an exercise program with my daughter-in-laws and someone hung the clock in the front of the room right where we can watch every second of our torture! I hope I'm skinnier the next time you see me for all this pain and agony! At my age I don't think skinny is going to happen, so I'm shooting for fit and trim.
Well, I don't know how things are going at your house, but two of my sons have lost their jobs, so the STRESS levels are high. I don't know if any one else has done a workshop or talk on Personalities Under Stress, but I have, so I'll share a few of the highlights with you from that conference.
One thing I find true for all personality types, is we default to our weaknesses when under stress and it take discipline to walk in our strengths during these times of stress.
Playful Sanguine
Stress Factors:
Completing and organizing paperwork on time. On time is enough to stress them out, but paper work on top of a tight schedule will push them over the edge.
Under Stress:
Goes Super Nova - Adds more activities to an already too busy schedule. Why? We don't know, but it happens all the time.
Excessive Talking - Has a compulsive need to fill dead air with words.
To help meet emotional needs:
Tell them at least one good quality they have on a regular basis - weekly if possible.
(I know you Powerfuls will have a hard time with that one.)
Give them the first 5 minutes of the day to tell their story, after that, they need to get to work.
(For this to be effective, you must listen.)
Comfort Thought: "What?!" What's not to love here?"
(A comfort thought is something we tell ourselves when we feel stressed out. It is usually a defensive thought. )
Powerful Choleric
Stress Factors:
Struggles under incompetent leadership and lack of accomplishment.
Under Stress:
Becomes overly crabby - has a bite to their voice, even when not angry. The molten lava of emotion can be felt even if the Volcano is quiet.
Takes over or usurps authority - feels a need to set things straight, with or without authority to do so.
To help meet emotional needs:
Tell them you appreciate all the hard work they do.
Help put in place systems that get the job done. A sense of accomplishment will defuse the urge to take over or incite mutiny.
Comfort Thought: "This is stupid! I don't need to put up with this!"
Peaceful Phlegmatic
Stress Factors:
When there is backbiting, and bickering. Asking them to do too many things at once will be over whelming.
Under Stress:
Peace at all costs -They will compromise moral standards and lie, telling you what they think you want to hear, in order to keep conflict from arising.
Takes procrastination to an art form - Becoming paralyzed by the fear of having to work overly hard or long.
To help meet emotional needs:
Make time to listen to what they have to say. Do not ignore them or treat them as if they are stupid because they are quiet.
Break larger projects down into smaller parts, so the job isn't so overwhelming. Having to make too many decisions all at once causes emotional paralysis.
Comfort Thought: "I need a nap."
Proper Melancholic
Stress Factor:
Fighting feelings of discouragement, when working within an incompetent system. Unlike the Powerfuls who have a harder time with incompetent leaders, it's the incompetent system that drives the Proper Melancholic crazy.
Under Stress:
Becomes silently irritated and withdrawn - communicating displeasure by giving the "cold shoulder." Retreats into their own thoughts, many time these thoughts are rooted in feelings of victimization.
Becomes vindictive, holds a grudge - Justifies "holding hostage," information, support, and emotional warmth from the person or group they believe has caused an offense.
To help meet emotional needs:
Respect their personal space.
DO NOT touch or borrow their things without asking their permission - first!
Listen with full and undivided attention to the research and information they have compiled. (Give them the time they need to do this research.)
Comfort Thought: "Watch your back, you'll pay for that one."
It isn't hard to see every one's weaknesses come to the surface. Next newsletter I'll address how meeting our emotional needs helps to cease the pain of stress.
Blessings,
Kathryn

| Today's Prayer |
I know not everyone who receives this newsletter is religious, but please afford me the indulgence of offering a prayer that we can claim for ourselves, no matter what our spiritual beliefs may be.
Prime Time With God
Today's Prayer
Dear Father in Heaven, I know that You have given me special gifts, talents, and abilities to use in Your service. Please stir up those gifts, talents, and abilities within me. Help me to see how and what I am to do for You. Work through me, through the power of Your Holy Spirit, to accomplish Your purpose and to draw people to Yourself. I know that all that is done through me is not of my own power, but of Your power, God. May You be glorified. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. |

These boards fold flat for traveling and are laminated with 10mm plastic.

Folded - 14x16 / Open - 24x32

| Information and Tests |
As I have said earlier, I want to introduce you to some of the people and programs I have had the privilege to encounter over the past few years. Some of these programs will not apply to you now, but you never know when the time will be right. I feel it's better to be exposed to new ideas and programs long before you need them, so when the time is right, you're not making a mad dash to find them -- you'll know where to look.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both of these programs have works great for me!  For years business professionals have been asking for a solution that would eliminate the frustrations of email attachment limits, the hassles of FTP servers, and the need to use overnight couriers to send large files. (Geart for sending Power Point, pictures, eBooks, etc.)
YouSendIt has responded with an answer that fits seamlessly into the busy workflow of every organization. The secure, cost-effective and easy-to-use YouSendIt services are ideal for anyone with the need to send, receive and track digital content.
