Exploring Why to Use Affirmations as a Manager and Supervisor

Click to watch the video.

Click to listen to audio.

Hi,
How’s it going?

I am Patti Oskvarek from Coaching for Inspiration with Patti, a Work-Life Balance and Leadership coach, Reiki Master, Blogger, and Podcaster.  

I help managers and supervisors to become better leaders and live a more purposeful, balanced life outside of work.

Today, I wanted to share about Affirmations.

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.

How to use the Work-Life Balance Affirmation Cards:

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.

Soulful Conversations with Gaia and Patti – Burnout

In this episode of Soulful Conversations with Gaia and Patti we discuss Burnout.

Click to watch the Soulful Conversations with Gaia and Patti – Burnout.

We discussed:

What is burnout?

What are some warning signs?

Change your flow.

And more.

Gaia shares about an acronym she made RACA:

Recognize – sometimes we are not aware we are in burnout – there are physical symptoms, and ways you feel about something.

Assess regularly – watch out before it become worse – a lot of talks about mental health, why think about that later and not to prevent it?

Contain – most of the time is with your job: do an honest assessment regularly about – how you feel physically and emotionally, maybe every 6 months.

Act differently – Is there any habit, new tool you can use to start healing or alleviate burnout?

Exploring How to Deal with Words Left Unsaid

Hi, Manager and Supervisors
How’s it going?
In this podcast episode, we will explore dealing with unsaid words.

I am sure we all had a life situation where we wished we told someone how we truly felt. Whether it was a childhood crush or wished we spoke up at a group meeting or knew something was happening that wasn’t right.

Fear can immobilize us not to act. Then Guilt or regret lingers on and on inside of us. It may continue throughout our lifetime. Guilt or shame can leave us feeling empty, unsatisfied, or longing for something we didn’t have the guts to pursue. You probably heard the old saying, “Time heals all wounds.”  Does it? 

Some wounds will never heal until addressed, which is easier said than done.

How many of us have been ghosted sometime in our life? 

It may have been a relationship, a job offer, a promotion, a networking acquaintance, a promise, or a business deal.

Did you want to know the reason why? 

I know when it happened to me, I wanted to know why.

Unfortunately, most of the time, especially in the business setting, a reason why will never come.

Overthinking about the situation can take a toll on a person. It may cause depression, anger, suicidal thoughts, sadness, ulcers, overwhelm, uncontrollable crying, anxiety attacks, and so much more.

Time may soften the disappointment, regret, and hurt, but it’s still deep inside. Time is not the healer; it is the inner work of dealing with the emotions that heals you. Healing requires constant mental work of positive self-talk and letting it go.

How do you get over it and move on?

🦋 Recite positive affirmations for healing and to eliminate negative thoughts.

🦋 Create a gratitude journal. Every day in the journal, write one to three things you are grateful for daily.

🦋 Be aware of your emotions and feelings; take time to feel them — work on halting the complaining, constantly talking about it, and overthinking the situation.

🦋 Spend time with positive, happy, and motivated people.

🦋 Pick your battles. Sometimes, chasing the person may cause more damage to you. If the recipient doesn’t want to hear from you, they won’t respond. Start focusing on what you want in life; you are worth more.

🦋 Hire a life or leadership coach or therapist to help you overcome the hurt and disappointment.

Isn’t it time to be happy?

Being upset, angry, and overthinking isn’t working. Love yourself and those around you enough to let it go. Believing you deserve a better life of peace, joy, and love is a huge part of healing.

Today’s podcast Affirmation

I let go and move on!

Question: How did you move on from words left unsaid?

I would love your thoughts on this topic, and if there is a topic you would like me to explore, please leave a comment. 

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.
