Sit jou uitdagings ore aan!

Sit jou uitdagings ore aan! Lynette Beer

Die lewe is mos maar soms vol komplikasies. Net sodra jy dink jy het dinge onder beheer, dan gebeur daar iets anders en alles is weer deurmekaar. Ken jy daardie gevoel?

Dis mos so al asof ‘n moedeloosheid oor jou wil toesak as alles tegelyk gebeur. Die oumense het gesê jy weet nou nie herwaarts of derwaarts nie. Dis interessant hoe elke mens sy eie manier het om die rowwe dae te hanteer. My een kollega sal altyd op die moeilikste tye probeer om almal aan die lag te kry. Nou die oggend stuur sy vir my ‘n foto van haarself met haar hare wat in al die windrigtings staan. Sy werk van die huis af en het nog nie kans gehad om by die stort uit te kom nie al het die son al hoog gesit. “Is om jou te laat glimlag” laat weet sy my. Ek het.

Op ‘n ander keer, was ons nog laat in die aand besig met werksgoed op WhatsApp. Die sake is ernstig, die spanning loop hoog. Skielik kom die skakel deur na ‘n lawwe liedjie op YouTube van haar kant af. “Ons nuwe temaliedjie” verklaar sy. Weereens kan ek nie help om te lag nie.

Soms moet mens maar net lag, dan lyk dinge al beter. Ander kere vra ‘n moeilike situasie, dat jy bietjie terugsit, dalk eers ‘n draai gaan loop en dan weer die probleem aanspreek. Die werk of probleem van ‘n kant af ontrafel en dan sistematies daardeur werk.

Maar die belangrikste wat ek al geleer het, is om nie ‘n ding alleen te probeer uitsorteer nie. Vra raad. Kry hulp. Wanneer die lewe se uitdagings te veel word, win kennis in. Al Google jy net die probleem of bel jou mentor. Kennis is mag. Met kennis kom wysheid en met wysheid kom insig. Insig gee nuwe perspektief en meeste van die tyd het ons net vars perspektief nodig om ons probleme en uitdagings ore aan te sit!

I have to date, not met any successful healthcare worker without a deep love for people. Empathy and caring for people's needs should form part of any nurse or doctor's make-up – unless they choose to spend time in laboratories or the admin side of the industry.

The Impact of Temperament on Communication

By Lynette Beer • 18 Apr, 2023
Communicating is a vital life skill that does not come naturally to all. When it comes to talking, the Red and Yellow temperaments have no problem at all – to the contrary, they are talkers par excellence. As the storyteller and performer, Yellow could make an impromptu speech with little or no warning, while Red could persuade a large group to follow his course or buy into his concept. But listening – the other crucial ingredient of communication - is a skill both Red and Yellow must practise.

Navigating Romantic Relationships with Different Temperaments

Navigating Romantic Relationships with Different Temperaments

By Lynette Beer • 01 Mar, 2023
Although opposites often attract, there is no scientific proof that this is the norm. However, it is common to find an introvert marrying an extrovert or a people-oriented person finding a task-oriented Red or Blue attractive. This could be a subconscious step to compliment him- or herself or simply make sure that he or she does not have to perform a duty that does not come naturally or comfortably.

Exploring the Four Temperaments in Parenting

By Lynette Beer • 01 Mar, 2023
‘Know Thyself’ has never been as crucial as in the parenting role. Parents have often told me that the child they battle the most with is the one that resembles them – in character and temperament. Flaring up against young Jimmy because he shows signs of your own shortcomings is human – but not fair.
The Groovy Green Temperament and Decision Making

The Groovy Green Temperament and Decision Making

By Lynette Beer • 01 Mar, 2023
Groovy Green hates making decisions – it comes with the temperament… He or she is a master procrastinator and good at passing on the decision-making buck. Feeling unworthy and not ‘good enough’, clever enough or competent enough to make any decision, is almost a natural reaction for our Green brothers and sisters.
