Positive dynamic: when our energy is positive…

• Access to our spontaneous abilities: effortless available resources
• Satisfaction of our specific needs: motivation sources
• Respect of our preferences: environment, communication, management, operating mode
• Answer to our “existential” question: what makes sense

Negative dynamics: when our energy is negative…

• Stress sources (consequences):
  • Resorting to less available abilities (tiredness)
  • Miscommunication (misunderstandings, inefficiencies)
  • Stress generated by other (contagion)
  • Dissatisfaction of specific needs and preferences (demotivation)
  • Personal issues (blockage)
  • Existential questions (disorientation)
• Stress sequences:
  • 1st level: drivers
  • 2nd level: masks
  • 3rd level: depression
• Sequential behaviors (visible and foreseeable) under stress:
  • Level 1: everything will be all right if…
  • Level 2: failure mechanisms
  • Level 3: inability to act
• Failure positions under stress:
  • 1st stage: self-appreciation if…
  • 2nd stage: high or low self-appreciation
  • 3rd stage: self-depreciation and depreciation of others

Step out the negative dynamic

• 1st stage: being aware
  • Identifying our own behaviors under stress: our masks and failure mechanisms
  • Identify our sources of stress: in our context and/or with others (interactions)
  • Identify other’s masks
• 2nd stage: acting
  • On oneself: unwind, self-motivate, do things differently
  • On one’s environment: adapt, initiate or request necessary adjustments
  • On others: take off the masks, communicate, interact effectively
