we 196 How do you inspire others and why?
Greetings dear readers today I give life and love to my blog ❤️ again participating in the weekend proposal that consequently brings us @galenkp. This time with a topic that for many may be simply satisfactory, but in my case it is a situation that made me alarmed and inivita me to be more cautious when giving and trusting others, thus I respond to the following question:
How do you inspire others and why? Explain using examples. Remember to use your own photos
This question has sometimes fluttered in my mind when I perceive from some people a deep admiration for me, and not precisely for my physical beauty because I think I am not one of the women who immediately attract attention, I consider myself a woman with good attributes of very simple appearance, bohemian and artistic, feeling happy with this way of being and being in the world.
Speaking from the positive, by these simple characteristics, people have told me that I am an inspiration, loving my way of being, dressing, carrying and looking at life, in which I am proactive and at the same time aware of my possibilities and limits knowing how far I can go, give and receive without harm to others, in which my affective and creative potential are the main engines for my day to day.
I live one day at a time with no intention of impressing others, however, as an arts teacher for children there I do feel the call to encourage them to be inspired, but in itself, pushing them to experiment from their own creative wellspring. As our coexistence within the school obviously I present some guidelines, getting through this, watch wonderful productions that arise in a harmonious way, where I perceive from some small taste and satisfaction for what they produce through plastic and corporal expression.
CI think that promoting the inspiration of children in all the environments in which I have developed, that I have radiated in such a way that has touched some adults, making this a little uncomfortable situations for me. before this I refer to two ladies 20 years older than me, with many skills in which we have similarities according to the cultural movement, to coincide in the labor and artistic field, I have expressed their admiration to the point of wanting to do everything I've done and surround the spaces and friendships where I have developed.
One of them 5 years ago left the country and from far away every time you can she talks to me about how much she learned being with me and how inspiring that coexistence was, motivating her to become certified as a dance therapy instructor, helping her to teach classes for seniors, which I applaud and I am pleased to know that somehow that coexistence with her in the dance group where we once coincided gave her impetus for her evolution.
The other lady is part of my work relationship, she is a worker and janitor at the school. I have known her for 6 years, the time I have been working in that school, at first I admired her great sense of service to others, which is characterized by being excessively complacent, submissive and obedient. Over time I realized through her actions and discrediting comments behind the backs of others, that her helpful attitude is a way to draw attention so that they take her into account and stand out among the rest of the workers, even if they overload her with work or abuse her trust, because that's what happens, some take advantage of her attitude to make a profit.
This lady has made me visible as a trustworthy person, to the point of looking for time within the work space to tell me intimate things of her life, so I suggested her at some point to attend therapy or do activities that would allow her to balance a little those personal situations. It was then when I invited her to a group where I was an instructor of traditional Venezuelan dances and from which I was retiring, and I also guided her to a biodance group that I do not frequent, I invited her with the intention that she would take more care of herself and rejoice in other environments that would offer her wellbeing.
I feel that having oriented and guided him to those spaces, this became motivation for him to begin to admire me and his affection became a shadow and fixation, as I began to perceive how he wanted to be in everything I do both inside and outside of school, behaving as a defender of everything I could do right or wrong, and then.... she started to show up in the other spaces where I develop, wanting to invade my circle of friends, taking pictures and videos of me saying at work that we are great friends, wearing clothes and accessories similar to mine, asking me behind my back about my absences and personal life.
This happened until I felt suffocated, so I began to place limits, first, I asked her not to enter my workspace to tell me personal things or the group from which I retired, before this I noticed her slightly impressed accepting my request with resignation, I even saw the need to block her on my cell phone. Since then, at work I talk to her only as much as necessary and she also limits herself to this, even so, sometimes she seeks closeness with a slight smile or brief words when she gives me a parcel with a message from the school staff or representatives.
Her fixation has been such that outside the work space, even when she is doing cultural life in other groups, she suddenly showed up at my percussion school, which, being a training center, can be attended by anyone who wishes to receive these classes, being the teacher who decides who can enter. Unfortunately I see her there twice a week, with whom I do not even cross an expression, there she assumes the same attitude of handicap and service with the rest of the participants, something that is bothering some classmates, and from what I see some ignore her, but even so she cee and feels that she is the great friend of all.
With this anecdote I could say that my way to inspire others is to be myself with my nature, grace and lifestyle. We all have the art of being inspired, we just have to look inside and recognize ourselves as unique beings with our own attributes whose mission is to love and respect ourselves and thus be able to inspire ourselves.
