Episode 90: When We Stop Showing Up: Silent Quitting

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

When employees start checking out, the entire team feels it. Tasks may get accomplished, but the creativity, collaboration, morale, and trust at work begin to erode.

Click to watch the video.

In this episode, we discuss the phenomenon of silent quitting, examining its causes and how it erodes trust over time. At home, it may look like going through the motions without emotional connection. At work, it can mean avoiding challenges, withholding ideas, or doing the bare minimum.

By re-engaging, setting aside time to have conversations, showing appreciation, and actively participating in shared responsibilities.

🎧 Take a listen to this episode to see your engagement level and learn more strategies to reconnect with purpose.

The Experience of Decision Burnout and Overwhelm

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

Have you ever thought, ‘I can’t make one more decision right now’?

Click to watch the video.

From the daily grind of work duties to juggling family time, the daily choices can slowly wear you down and may lead to decision burnout and overwhelm, which is more common than you think.

Decision burnout or overwhelm happens when your mind becomes overloaded with too many decisions to make within a short period.

As time goes on, you may be experiencing:

  • Irritable with making decisions
  • Procrastination or Avoidance of making decisions
  • Overwhelmed by making decisions

Taking occasional breaks or going for a brisk walk can help.

Affirmation: I allow myself to pause before making decisions.

What Does It Mean to Work Honestly?

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

Have you ever looked at your to-do list and thought, “This just doesn’t feel like me anymore?”

Watch the video: 👉 What Does It Mean to Work Honestly?

We often find ourselves caught in routines and expectations that once worked for us, but no longer do.

This video is an invitation to pause and reflect: Does the way I work still feel true to who I am?

The Reiki principle: Just for today, I will do my work honestly, isn’t just about avoiding deceit; it’s about doing honest work in a way that feels true to you, your values, and your purpose. It’s about giving your best from a place of integrity, not exhaustion.

We often think of honesty as something we give others. However, honesty with ourselves means admitting that our current work is draining us or realizing that a new direction may be calling.

Honest work doesn’t mean perfect work; it means showing up fully and truthfully, both to yourself and to others.

If you’re feeling unfulfilled or disconnected at work, feeling burned out, or simply longing for deeper meaning in your job, you deserve work that feels good to you, not a jaded version. Sometimes honesty means admitting something needs to change.

I would love to hear your thoughts. What does honest work look like in your life right now? Leave a comment below.

What If Today Were Anger Free

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

We don’t always choose what triggers us, but we can choose how we respond.

Click to watch the full video.

In this post, you’ll find the full video, a guided reflection, affirmations to support your emotional peace, and a simple practice to use anytime anger starts to rise.

In this gentle reflection, I explore another Reiki principle:

Just for Today, I Will Not Be Angry.

We’ll talk about how anger often shows up when we feel unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed, and how Reiki helps us lovingly release it. Whether the frustration is your own or something you’ve picked up from others, this principle reminds us we have a choice.

And in leadership, whether at home or work, clarity is everything. This Reiki principle reminds us that we can lead with calm, not chaos.

🌬️ Just for today, return to calm.

How does anger show up in your life, and how do you release it?
I would love to hear your reflections in the comments below. 🦋 ~ Patti

What Worry Does to Us: A Reiki Reflection on Letting Go

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

Click to watch the video.

Worry can be so loud at times, or silently evading thoughts. Either way, it’s heavy. And over time, it can pull us away from our presence, peace, and purpose.

One of my favorite Reiki Principles:

Just for today, I will not worry.

This simple phrase serves as a great reminder to breathe, reset, and return to a state of peace and calm, especially during stressful times.

In this video, we explore this beautiful Reiki principle, and I share a few calming ways to gently release the weight of worry, if only for today. It’s not about never worrying again; it’s about learning how to pause, reflect, and reclaim calm.

🦋 In this video and post, we will explore:

  • What worry does to our mind, body, and energy
  • Simple practices to ease stress in the moment
  • Reflective journaling prompts to help you let go

Worry is something we all carry, but we don’t have to hold onto it forever.

I would love to hear your reflections in the comments:

Unplug to Reconnect with What Matters

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti


Click to watch the video.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or simply longing for a moment of stillness? This video is for you.

In this affirmation and coaching session, I gently guide you through a mindful reminder:

🦋 “I choose to schedule time to unplug each day.”

Why Unplugging Matters More Than Ever

When we’re always “on,” it’s easy to lose touch with:

  • Our energy levels
  • Our priorities
  • Our ability to be fully present

The choice to unplug, even for a few minutes, helps quiet the noise and nurture the calm within.

Gentle Ways to Make Unplugging a Daily Habit

  1. Unplugging for five minutes can reset your nervous system.
  2. Pick a consistent time – Mornings or evenings.
  3. Create a calm space – Light a candle, play soft music, or take a slow breath.
  4. Add unplugging to your calendar.

When you unplug, you’re not tuning out. You’re tuning in to peace, clarity, and balance.

💬 Self-Reflection:

👉 What’s one small way you can unplug Today and reconnect with what truly matters?

From Pressure to Peace: A Calming Affirmation for Inspiring Leaders

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

When was the last time you felt truly calm in the middle of your busy day?

Click to watch the video.

In a world that promotes hustle and constant doing, I am sharing this Affirmation as a gentle reminder that peace is a choice and a strength.

As inspiring leaders, we don’t have to push ourselves to the edge to make an impact. We can rise higher when we lead from a calm place, when we choose clarity over chaos and stillness over burnout.

💫 Affirmation:

“I choose peace over pressure.”

Say it slowly. Breathe it in. Let it soften the tension in your shoulders. This simple phrase holds powerful energy. It reminds us that peace is always an option, even in the midst of deadlines and decision-making.

Take a moment to breathe, reset, and return to what truly matters. 

These few seconds of calm can shift your entire day.

Want to lead with clarity, calm, and purpose?

I Delegate with Trust, Grace, and Confidence 

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

Are you carrying more than your share lately?

Click to watch the video.

If you’re an overgiving leader, caregiver, or someone who naturally gives so much to others, delegation might feel hard, even guilt-inducing. I understand because I’ve been there, too.

Hi, I’m Patti from Coaching for Inspiration with Patti, and I created this short video to remind you of something powerful:

“I delegate with trust, grace, and confidence.”

Letting go doesn’t make you weak. It’s an act of leadership, love, and self-respect.

In the video, I share a journaling tool called the 3-Column Clarity Method. It’s a gentle way to reflect on your responsibilities and gain peace around what’s yours to hold and what’s okay to let go.

✍️ Here’s how the 3 columns work:

  1. Tasks that Inspire & Energize Me (Keep):
    What brings you joy, energy, or a sense of purpose?
  2. Tasks Only I Can Do (Must Do):
    What requires you and your expertise?
  3. Tasks I Can Delegate or Release:
    What can be shared, outsourced, paused, or a growth opportunity for someone else?

This simple journaling practice can shift everything. It clarifies, reduces burnout, and helps you move forward with intention and peace. This week, delegate one small task at work or home. Notice how it feels. Next week, try again.
The more you practice, the more natural it becomes.

Let This Affirmation Inspire You:

“I delegate with trust, grace, and confidence.”
