Lifescaping is a term I coined a few years ago. Wanting to escape from the life you are living but still there and extremely unhappy in the daily grind.
Think about your life right now. Are you creating the life you want, or going through the motions, or living a life for everyone else but what you want?
What are you escaping from in Life and Work?
Figuring out what is holding you back from enjoying your life is critical. Being brave and confronting it will end the constant worry, anxiety, and unhappiness in your daily life.
What’s in your life you need to remove or change to create harmony?
Make a list of the things that you want to remove from your life.
Here are some examples:
A toxic friend
A hostile workplace
A verbally abusive partner
A controlling family member
A destructive behavior
A job position that is no longer inspiring you
Lazy employees
A demanding Boss
A backstabbing co-worker
Unhappy staff
A gossiping work environment
No positive recognition
Do you resonate with any of these?
List things you want in life to create to achieve harmony and balance.
Here are some examples:
Positive Encouraging Friends
A Motivating Career
A Peaceful Home
A Happy Loving Family
Good Health
Some Fun and Adventure
A Healthy Lifestyle
A New Job Position
Think about what you want and the steps you will take to improve your life.
Start slowly removing the things blocking you from achieving your goals and adding the things that will help you change your circumstances to achieve them.
Once you start implementing the action steps, you will feel the shift from being trapped to a sense of peace and freedom to be you.
If you are struggling with the daily grind and feel alone, a leadership and work-life balance coach like me will help you work through those everyday challenges to continue moving forward to where you want to be.
I saw a reel on Instagram recently where the guy said, “Stress at work comes from giving a sh*t.”
Wow, that statement hit me hard because I sometimes (most of the time) care too much, take my responsibilities or projects seriously, and want to do the best job possible. I care about a great outcome.
What about you?
Do you care too much while others who don’t care seem to have no stress because they don’t give a sh*t and appear to attract whatever they want at work? They get promotions and special projects and climb the corporate ladder fast while dumping their work on everyone else, especially the Doer.
At the same time, the Doer is overwhelmed and receives no recognition for all they do while someone else takes the credit.
So many times throughout my career, I make a suggestion, and later, someone brings it up again and takes credit for it.
If this happens to you, are you happy the suggestion will finally be implemented, or are you angry and silent?
How do you deal with your internal emotions?
What keeps you motivated to do your best and not let these situations jade you, defeat you, and overtake your ambitions and confidence?
Some may say what does it matter? It’s just a job.
As Managers and Supervisors, we may only know what is truly going on with our team if we spend time with our staff and they feel safe discussing these situations.
Does your staff feel comfortable talking to you about uncomfortable situations happening in the work environment?
Do you feel comfortable asking how it’s going and receiving unfavorable feedback you may have to address?
As a manager and supervisor, do you ignore things, hope they go away, and use the attitude I don’t care to deal with the daily grind?
Think about the stress that is going on around you.
Have employees been calling out more than usual lately?
What about employees’ attitudes at work? Are they more reactive than proactive, aggressive, unmotivated, sensitive, or lacking in productivity?
How are you feeling? Are you stressed or uncaring, or both? Or do you care too much?
Who do you want in your organization: the person who cares too much, the Doer, the person who doesn’t care, and the person who takes advantage and doesn’t care who they step over to get there?
I know these are some difficult and uncomfortable questions; however, they are great for self-reflection. Some people take their jobs and work performance seriously and care about them, while others take advantage of others to move up in the organization.
Caring about your job and work performance is not bad; it’s admirable and a good trait, but it does cause some stress. How much stress that’s up to you how you handle that stress. If you are an overthinker, that may cause more stress than someone who self-reflects, comes up with solutions, or chalks it up to a life lesson and moves on by not thinking about it anymore.
Stress is a silent killer in the workplace in many ways: physical, mental, and emotional. Being aware of it, actively finding ways to combat it, and discussing and sharing it will help everyone feel safe talking about how to make the work environment happier.
How can we, as Managers and Supervisors, improve the work environment? One day at a time.

We chatted about Following Your Intuition in this Soulful Conversation with Gaia and Patti.
Here are a few things we shared:
What is intuition?
How do you recognize it?
What comes from your intuition?
What comes from your logic?
The more you practice it, the more comfortable you become with it.

Check out my interview on the Take the Leap podcast with Colleen Biggs. We dove into the topic of Vision, Balance, and Leadership, and I gave valuable insight on immediately taking the Leap in your life!
I took the LEAP and was a spotlight guest on the LEAP Community Monday Spotlight with Colleen Biggs. I shared about leadership, work-life balance, and more.
When I worked as a Manager and Supervisor, there were days I needed encouragement, a boost of confidence, or meaningful inspiration when all around me was in chaos. I would recite affirmations to help me get through the day.
I would write affirmations on yellow sticky notes and put them on my steering wheel, computer, or bathroom mirror. To help get me motivated for the day. When I took a break, I would listen to affirmations as I took a walk.
Affirmations helped me refocus some positive thoughts and get the negative thoughts out of my head to reframe those thoughts into good ones.
Some people think Affirmations are woo-woo. However, I don’t see it that way. It can shift your mindset if you want it bad enough. If you are dealing with the daily grind and have constant interruptions or coworkers trying to discredit you, having positive words and thoughts is good to keep you stable, inspired, and focused.
Have there been times when you needed some inspiration, reassurance, or encouragement during your work day?
I use affirmations in my coaching style by giving clients affirmations during coaching sessions to keep them focused on their goals.
While in a coaching session, I may use my Work-Life Balance Affirmation cards that I created during the coaching session and pull a card; the expression on their faces is priceless because the card is what they need to hear to inspire them.
Clients use them, and they recite the affirmation daily and weekly. It reminds them of their wants and keeps them focused on the end goal.
I created the Work-Life Balance affirmation cards to inspire and encourage; read and repeat them throughout the day. Post them around your home, work area, or in your vehicle. They are pocket-sized, which makes them easy to carry around with you.
Shuffle and randomly select a card, reflect on it, and repeat the affirmation throughout the day. Or choose a card for the day you would like to focus on and have in your life.
Patti created the work-life balance affirmation cards to inspire and encourage while reading and repeating them daily. Post them around your home, work area, or in your vehicle. They are pocket-sized, which makes them easy to carry around with you. These cards will inspire and encourage you throughout your day to help you appreciate yourself and others.
