Today, I am coaching about building and retaining healthy positive relationships in our lives.
Do you have work life balance in your relationships?
Are you spending valuable time with your family and close friends?
If you find yourself spending most of your time working and not having time to spend with family and friends. Maybe it is time to schedule a few minutes a week connecting with those that are important to you. Schedule time in your calendar just like you do with work activities.
What do you think?
Is it time to start making sure you don’t disconnect from those you care about?
Why not try this for a week and see if it does make a difference in your life?
I would love to hear about your thoughts, the results and what you have accomplished with building and retaining relationships.
Today’s Affirmation:
I am achieving Work-Life Balance and it is good for my soul and family!

The Doer employee gets things done and does whatever it takes to get the project completed on time. As a supervisor having someone to count on is so important especially when you are dealing with an influential client. Knowing the project will get done right and finished by the deadline date is very crucial.
Who’s the best employee ever? The Doer, they get things done!
How can you keep the Doer satisfied?
By acknowledging a job well done.
I asked a few people “What was the nicest thing a supervisor said to you?”
Here are some of the responses I received:
Thank you!
Good job!
I appreciated you staying late. Thank you!
I don’t know what I would have done without you.
Sincere appreciation was what they said made them feel valued. If you feel valued you will do anything for your boss.
What words of affirmation made you feel acknowledged by your supervisor?
Here are some words of affirmations you can use to show appreciation.
Words of Affirmation:
Good job.
A sincere “thank you”.
I don’t know what I would do without you.
That report was excellent.
Your presentation was great.
Thank you for staying late to finish.
Thank you for covering for me while I was out.
I trust you.
What a great suggestion let’s put it into action.
Thank you for speaking up in the meeting and giving your perspective.
You’re an awesome employee!
Thank you for being so flexible.
A lot of leaders are so focused on climbing the corporate ladder they tend to forget what is really important in life. Their relationships with others. A good leader inspires new leaders.
How do you keep a Doer satisfied? Acknowledging good work performance. Mentoring and coaching them into leadership positions. Building up their talents with motivating and challenging projects.

Today, I am going to talk about achieving a balanced life. I too struggle with this concept. I strive for balance however I backslide then pick myself up and continue to keep moving forward to achieve this so called balanced life. I want myself and others to live life to the fullest and enjoy their family and friends.
When you are happy and not stressed out all the time, you create an environment of kindness and joy all around you.
When you are stressed out and exhausted you experience a feeling of urgency and discomfort.
What do you think?
Is it time to encourage peace and joy in your life?
Comments are always welcome, please feel free to share your thoughts about achieving a balanced life and yes, I do feel it is achievable.

Day 8 ~ Establishing Kind Boundaries and Sticking to Them
Establishing boundaries is sometimes hard. Some people look at boundaries as being mean or a punishment. Kind people sometimes find it very hard to talk about how they want to be treated or even when they feel someone is taking advantage of them.
Today, is about establishing boundaries, still being a kind person and sticking to those boundaries which were created.
In your life right now, what are some behaviors that you feel someone has crossed the line with you?
A roommate who hasn’t paid their share of the rent.
A friend or family member who borrows money and hasn’t paid it back.
Someone borrows your things and doesn’t return them.
A colleague not doing their fair share of the workload.
A family member who is constantly dropping off their children for you to watch while they go out and party.
Family showing up at your house without calling, wants to stay for the weekend and wants you to entertain them, when you already had plans for the weekend.
A child demanding you buy them something you can’t afford.
A spouse/partner not following through on a promise and ditches you to go out with friends instead.
The list could go on and on………..
Has any of these circumstances above happened to you? Are they still happening?
Do you want to tell the person to stop, but don’t have the courage because you are afraid of losing the friendship or hurting the person feelings?
What is this doing to you?
How do you start a discussion with someone who has crossed the line or is taking advantage of you?
Explain the situation in a calm way.
Ask for what you want and for the behavior to stop.
Ask for repayment and/or returning items with a deadline date.
Get a commitment that the behavior will stop.
By letting the behavior continue, it becomes a habit, and the person will expect you to continue to give to them and the bad behavior will keep happening. When boundaries are clear and followed, both people have a sense of what is appropriate and mutual respect is established within the relationship.
Comments are always welcome, please feel free to share your thoughts about establishing kind boundaries and keeping to them.

A Joyous Balanced Life – Pull the Plug and Connect!
Turning off the electronics is a great way to reconnect with yourself and others who are truly important to you. This provides self-reflection to refresh, refocus, and appreciate what you have in your life.
Make a conscious effort to be fully present with others. Put your phone away while visiting with friends and family. Give them your full attention and be really engaged in conversations.
After you pulled the plug:
What was it like to be present and engaged in conversations?
Is this something you will continue to practice?
Comments are always welcome, please feel free to share your thoughts and how you accomplish putting down the electronics.
