Group Work

Now and again, just to bring a Project to a next level, we have to work in groups. We have deadlines to meet, tasks to accomplish, goals to achieve. You are only one person and sometimes it’s overwhelming to do everything on your own. Don’t be afraid to ask for help - sometimes it’s by humbling ourselves we empower ourselves. It does not make sense feeling too proud to admit that you cannot be in control of everything. You can honor these creeping feelings of helplessness and foolish pride but after having honored them, accept them lovingly and then release them. You know, you would be amazed at how willing persons are to help out. People like feeling useful, appreciated and needed. You can even boost someone’s self-esteem by delegating to them an activity. Make them feel that you actually look at them in high esteem by actually considering them responsible enough to handle a piece of your project. By doing so, you will be empowering someone and at the same time getting your project done. You will feel good, they will feel good and at the end everyone will feel good. Remember, you cannot be in control of everything. Relinquish some control, release some tension and see the benefits in group work.
