Group dynamics

The thing about signing up for group activities with a group of people you don’t know is that you get to live and work with people you don’t know.

In a new group there are going to be people you like and those you don’t. I have decided that rather than be irritated by some of those people I want to use it as a learning experience.

Often those that irritate us are those we can learn the most from. What is it I am finding irritating. Is it a mirror on me. Does that person reflect something that I don’t like or fear about myself. Do they represent something I want to be myself.

Being irritated is a low energy state, learning and being curious is a higher energy.

Note this is all aspirational. I still get irritated all the time but I am trying to do better.

Throughout writing this I kept writing irradiated instead of irritated. I don’t  recommend getting irradiated as a learning experience.
