A moment in my life that I experienced my power at work was when I was working in an elderly nursing home. Chaos was in the atmosphere when I was working at the elderly home. I was working at the dementia unit, this unit was the most difficult unit to work on due to the mental illness of the residents. The nurse just left the unit to go restock on some medicine it was just me and my co worker on the floor trying to comfort the residents that where agitated, due to the construction that was going on outside. It was during lunch time when a resident started to chock on his food. My co-worker didn't know what to due she panicked. Our nurse was not on the floor so I had to think fast and take charge the man was already turning purple due to the food that was blocking his air way. I told my co-woker to help me pick him up so i could preform the hillock maneuver. I manage to unblock his air ways and comfort him so he could breath normally again. This showed me a special power that i had. It showed me I can stay calm in chaotic times and take charge to calm down the situation.
To take control of a chaotic situation only works with me when I am not feeling emotionally threatened. This has happened to me in a situation with my father. He was yelling at me on the high way when there was high traffic to take a right on to the next exit. There where cars beeping at me to go and his yelling made me panic. So i just floored it and went straight because I felt belittled which made me feel like I could not accomplish the goal that I was assigned.
There are many ways to harness my power through daily activities, exercises, and practices. Exercise is a key element to harness my power. During chaotic times that I have to take charge and calm down the situation, my hart starts to pump blood through my body faster. This is similar to when I'm working out. When im working out my hart starts to pump blood faster I start to get out of breath due to the decay the work out has on my body. During my work outs if I learn how to master this effect and mentally calm down my body I can use this to my advantage to harness my powers. If I learn to take control of my body and breath during the effects that chaotic times have on my body, I will be able to think faster and stay calm. Staying calm during these events is the key goal because it will help you make the right descion. That is an exercises and activate I do to harness my power.
When I was a Limitless kid
I came up with limitless things
I could be a righteous king
I could visualize anything
The world was my playground
I could be a greyhound
I lived by sounds
I could find music all around
There was no limits
Everything was limitless
Everything was limitless
When i grow up everything had a limit
I couldn't come up with anything
I was a slave to a king
A king called my boss
The world was my box
I couldn't escape i was bound
My only music was peoples shouts
Everything had a limit
Everything had a limit
Vitor,
ReplyDeleteGreat work here. Very honest and touching. Staying calm in a storm certainly is a power. It shows courage, grace, and poise. It's something that most emergency healthcare people need (esp. first responders). Great stories.
I also like the story about your dad. His criticism (or frustrated energy) may be your kryptonite.
Your poem is very good. It has a great flow. You've got a natural hip-hop style that really works for you. Keep it up!
