Vampire! Energy Wasters! Time thieves!
This week I called Anna S. to talk a little bit.To my disappointment, she complained only. Everything is bad: their illness, the granddaughter in United States (the granddaughter here on the spot is nothing), the daughter is together with a rich "guy" (which she has finally found after years)...
It was actually long time been no more fun to speak with her.
You feel the feeling more often: Why call on I still? What do I do here really?
Many people have no task, they have never learned to deal with themself. Therefore they project their lives on their diseases and on their children, later on their grandchildren. It is their boredom and discontent, from which they are not rescued by the most beautiful holidays in the best places in the world or other high class events.It will be increasingly strenuous to carry on a conversation with them.
There are vampire, energy waster and / or time thieves! You will see a
call to not as exchange. It is for them a platform, represent themselves
(see also Rahn-Huber /2/ or Watzlawick /5 /).
Down with the vampires, energy wasters and time thieves! Out of your life! Towards creativity!
Do you know this experience and how do you go with vampires, energy wasters and / or time thieves?What types of vampires, energy wasters and time thieves are there?
- People with false or inadequate priorities
Many people set their priorities, without it to be clear, what is really important at the moment (see also Covey e. a. /1 /) -
Crazy-maker
A reasonable way of handling difficult situations will be learned and trained. Fear-mongering and hysteria is an amplifier of anxiety and stress. A previous definition of objectives and planning is better, the easier unforeseeable situations can be overcome (see also Project managemet & business coaching, Kunow /3 /). -
Emotional extortionist
We are all emotional extortionist, but it should be never pretentious or cross-border nature. No one can take responsibility for the life of another person (see also Forward /4 /). -
Denier of the own limits
Self-sacrifice or the helpers syndrome, but also the search for recognition result in the wasting of the body or of the soul (burn out). These sometimes club work or voluntary activity can include. If you want to know more about coaching teams in difficult situations, look also under business coaching.
