5 weaknesses, five strengths

5 weaknesses of mine

I am a fixer, a helper,  l would literally do anything for someone if they needed help.  THe downside is that l do overstretch myself, l can leave myself under pressure as a result, l can take on too much.  THis is insight that has been recently accquired!!!!
So l know now that running myself into the ground to help others is not such a good thing, l must leave something in the tank for me   :)

I dont always see myself as others do, l can be very hard on myself..it has been oftentime pointed out to me....

I can get upset about things and not process them at the time or deal with them at the time and they come back to haunt me.

This is tied in to my ability to work very well under pressure and in a crisis but....when you just keep going and going and going It would seem that all that stress and pressure has been somehow swallowed up by your self but not dealt with..

so these are things l need to work on.


5 strengths.
the flip side of some of these have to be my positives too.

I am good in a crisis
I am a person that people feel they can turn to in a time of need.

I am a good listener and l believe l can do this in a non judgemental way as people have told me all sorts of things over the years and l have let them speak freely.

I am trustworthy. l hope this is why people feel they can share problems, secrets, personal issues with.

As with all attributes a good insight is needed, like with me when my helping nature runs away with and l leave myself under pressure and exhausted..
With all balance is important and keeping sight of ourselves and our needs is essential..
