LIFE… with Elsa – Why does trauma among staff affect their productivity and efficiency?

Unfortunately, all of us influence each other. When you spend time with someone who is down in the dumps, you automatically feel a bit lower than what you did before you spend time with that person. Say, for example, you are the one down in the dumps – you will feel a bit uplifted if you spent the time with someone in a more positive mood than you. This boils down to the law of vibrations. Our emotions determine our level of vibrations. The Law of vibration states; high vibration attracts high vibration and low vibration attracts low vibration. When a high vibration and low vibration meet up, both of them will change to the average of the vibration between them. This means that the high vibration will come down to the average and the low vibration will go up to the average.
When a staff member experienced a traumatic event, it inevitably has an effect on their emotions and this has an effect on their vibrations. They then enter the work environment, which toxifies the space between staff on which staff reacts.
Different levels of vibrations have a different impact on each individual. Please note that this happens unconsciously. We are rarely aware, though we can be, of what is happening unconsciously.
Let’s look at an exam ple;
Jim got divorced and feels disappointed and discouraged. He has 5 colleagues; Lisa, Fred, Jack, Paul and Lara. The disappointment in Jim triggers the failure feeling in Lisa and the feminism in Lara but triggers the abandonment in Fred. Jack experiences an uplift knowing he is not the only one experiencing bad things in his life. As for Paul, it reminds him of his divorce a couple of years back.
The negative impact those emotions have on each of their productivity and efficiency is their unconscious mind associating that emotion with their work environment. Every time they come to work the emotions are triggered.
Staff need to;
· Understand how their conscious and unconscious mind works in order to take control over their emotions.
· Learn to handle different environments in order to help protect themselves from different toxic atmospheres.
Employers need to;
·Give their best to create a proper work environment where staff can feel safe and secure.
·Make sure to develop their staff with appropriate skills to enhance their emotional life. 

BUSY LIZZY Huis- en Tuinbouklub Stilbaai.

Die afgelope maandvergadering op Dinsdag, 16 Mei het die lede van die Busy
Lizzie Huis- en Tuinbouklub besonder interessant gevind. Jaap Viljoen van
die ROOIKLIP KWEKERY op Swellendam het ons toegespreek oor Tuinmaak In
Droogte Toestande.

Jaap het nie alleen baie kennis oor aalwyne nie. Hy het self ‘n groot
verskeidenheid nuwe soorte ontwikkel en gekweek. Rooiklip Kwekery is ‘n
groothandelaar in plante en voer ook plante uit na die buiteland.
Sy toespraak is toegelig met die mooiste fotos op ‘n skerm. Dit is feitlik
ondenkbaar dat daar deesdae aalwyne in omtrent alle kleure beskikbaar is.
Fotos van pienkes, wit en ander wat amper soos vuurpyle lyk, is op ‘n
lekker groot skerm gewys. Buiten die alombekende Aloe Ferrox en Aloe Vera is
daar nou baie ander soorte beskikbaar. Behalwe die piepklein soorte is daar
baie mooi variëteite wat laaggroeiend is met groot kandelare van blomme. Die
soorte is ook so geteel dat daar omtrent regdeur die jaar soorte is wat
blom. Voorwaar ‘n paradys vir voëls wat nektar soek.

Ons is ook geleer watter siektes aalwyne aanval en hoe om dit te hanteer en
te bekamp. Herwinne water kan gebruik word, maar daar moet tog versigtig
omgegaan word met water wat sekere chemikalië bevat. Die plante is gehard en
sal nie sommer van droogte doodgaan nie. Hulle wasagtige blare stoor water
en “trek toe” in uiterse omstandighede sodat daar die minimum verdamping
plaasvind. ‘n Blombedding van aalwyne van verskeie volwasse groottes
gekombineer met strelitzia soorte, sanseveria (skoonma se tong), grassoorte
en geharde grondbedekkers is die oplossing vir die toekoms waar die
besparing van water so noodsaaklik is. Voeg daarby die pragtige nuwe kleure
wat nou beskikbaar is en jy het ‘n wentuin wat jou baie blomplesier sal
verskaf.

Onderskrifte vir die fotos: 
1. Van die nuwe soorte met die pragtige pienk aalwyn in die middel.
2. ‘n Groepering van aalwyne wat skakeer van roomkleur, geel, oranje tot
donker persrooi.
3. Jaap Viljoen by ‘n klompie plante wat hy te koop saamgebring het.

THE STILBAAI BOAT

Dear Editor,
We have been going to Still Bay for the last 14 years or so.
The distance from our home in Newcastle is 1 400 kms.

How delightful it is when we eventually arrive at the Still Bay turnoff from the N2
and see the colourful, reflective boat seemingly welcoming us to Still Bay.
Only 26 kms to go – we’re home !

We take this opportunity to congratulate the persons who erected and maintain
“the boat” in such wonderful condition.
Thank you for this fantastic land mark.

I have included a recent photograph of “the boat”

With every good wish.

Regards,

Richard James
