According to a study carried out by the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC), a little self-reflection could do us all a world of good.

Julie McCarthy, associate professor of organizational behaviour at UTSC, said, “People need time to refocus in order to learn or study well.”

From in.news.yahoo.com:

“But maybe by backing off and taking breaks, students are able to replenish their resources.”

Feeling drained leads to lower levels of satisfaction with life and higher rates of burnout, depression and ill-health. And while playing multiple roles can be stimulating, interesting and lead to sense of accomplishment and achievement, McCarthy said there are real risks we need to be aware of.

“People need to assess which strategies they’re using to cope with their problems and make sure they’re making time for resource recovery,” she said.

“Too many roles can be detrimental unless we begin asking ourselves honest, pointed questions,” she added.

“This technique is traditionally seen as ‘running away from your problems’,” said McCarthy.

Once you are working in a group of young people you must understand the reality of each team member. There will be issues, misconceptions, negativity etc among the youth which might creep into you with time and affect your performance. One will meet different kind of people with different behavior such as, those who crib about their painful past experiences and tries to scare you with the consequences. You should avoid such personalities and be disinterested. Then you have people who are not obliged to you if offered help. Some are hypocrites, sweet on your face but do back biting to your colleagues. Further, you may find people who may whine and crib about the negativity in their lives which may be difficult for you to handle. One should be good at Anger management since such youth behavior might cause anger and frustration.

The company you keep is very important, especially for your well-being. Several times, we get stuck with people who bring us down with their negativity, unnecessary nagging, constant whining and pessimistic nature. And before you know it, this negativity starts getting to you, making you irritable, impatient and cranky. Make sure you first realise if they are that way just with you or everyone around them before doing something about it. Keep an eye out for these types… 

So show them a path of optimism and do not get yourself affected by their pessimism. There are people who may blame everything for the wrong things happening in the group and you may be the sufferer if you do not take any appropriate action. Stay away from those who involve other people in their fights and spread the whole world about the scandals. Also you might end up meeting some people who are interfering in nature or are over analyzers. Both these categories of people need to be tackled carefully.
