Responsibility
Does responsibility make you nervous? Let me know!!
It does! However, I try to tell myself that being nervous about responsibilities means I care for it deeply, so I'll try to give my best for it.
@Aayla that's a really good way of looking at it actually... I might try this!

@TeenyTinyAppy
When considering "Responsibility", what makes you nervous about it? And what scares you?

Past failures due to my mental health issues is what makes me nervous when I am responsible to do anything. I fear that I won't be able to do something neccessary and will suffer the consequences of that inability. Ex. It is time to pay my rent but I have agoraphobia. I get nervous because I am going to have to get a money order and turn it in to my apartment manager. That nervousness turns to fear of failure when I begin to go out and the panic sets in from having to go outside of my home. Yes there are other solutions that Ican utilize, but it doesn't stop me from going through the initial nervousness, anxiety and fear. I hope that helps you understand where I was coming from. :)
@TeenyTinyAppy
Yes. I understand. Thanks so much for sharing here
It is great that there are other solutions you can use to feel less nervous.
Wha about the copying techniques? Which ones do you feel comfortable using on such situations?

Honestly, I don't know too many techniques. Right now Iam taking a mindfulness class online which has been proven helpful for many people who have trauma related disorders.. For the moment, I ask for help if Ineed it but most times I push through and do what I am not comfortable with and just deal with the consequences later.
I have not been able to get much professional help in the past so I am really just learning how to cope a little bit better than I was.
@TeenyTinyAppy
Excellent!! Can you share the link to the mindfulness class online you are taking?

www.palousemindfulness.com
It is a free course and is work at your pace. You can pay if you want the certificate but you don't have to...there are no strings attatched and a whole lot of information on the site. I have done the introduction and corresponded with the instructor to join their private facebook community (He has that set up for students to be able to be supportive and helpful.) It is really pretty great... and for free??
@TeenyTinyAppy
Super-interesting!!!
Thanks So Much For Sharing The Link!!

@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
It does but it would vary depending on what I'm responsible of and how important it is.
@GhitapronoucedRita
I understand Would you like sharing some examples, and the copying techniques that you use?

@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
I think the best way to cope with responsibility is information. I personally try to know as much as possible and gather as many information about what it's about and what it implies. Along the way, you end up finding out about similar cases or about other related experiences which definitely help and inspire you or sometimes it tells what to avoid etc.
@GhitapronoucedRita
I agree
Thanks so much!!

Responsability mixed with time pressure can make me nervous. What helps me is to meditate and use positive mantras so that I get into a calmer mode and to make lists, what to do when, get it organized.
@amiablePeace77
Awesome!! Lists work for me as well
What mantras do you use?
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
One of my mantras I have for a very long time (after having overcome something) is:
You Can Do It
@amiablePeace77
A great mantra

Having responsibility makes me really nervous. I have a difficult time with verbal instructions, so I never know if I'm doing things the right way. I always feel like I'm going to or like I have let everyone down. T'is unfortunate my dudes.
@allmyuwus1209
Thanks so much for sharing this.
You mentioned you have a difficult time with verbal instructions. How have you coped with that?

@imabigfatmess.... I'm responsible for a lot. I signed up for a leadership training program. Mosday I feel like fee like a total mess. it as challenging as I can take!
@proactiveCity5170
That's awesome!! What leadership training program did you sign up for?

@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
The program is with a management company the division is lodging and leisure. I'm at a remote location with astounding natural beauty and a fantastic historic lodge. Just where I wanted to be, what I worked for, and got. Somehow though, I've lost that drive and determination that got me here.
@proactiveCity5170

More than nervous.... Responsible..... Evey outcom Is the product of my ability to inspire, lead, motivate. How valuable a tool am I? What outputs can be elicited from the slag?
@proactiveCity5170
I love your determination and enthusiasm.
You said: "What outputs can be elicited from the slag?" Perhaps I go it wrong when I used Google Translate... would you like to expand the meaning of that sentence?

Sounds like you hold yourself very accountable. Not only for what you do but what you can get others to produce. The term that resonated with me most was "tool". I go between striving to be the most effective tool and disgust for acting as agent for corporate goals. Looking at associates as whole complex people rather than resources resistant to productivity seems to make it harder for me to push for economic metrics.
