Have you ever found yourself in a situation where work seems to be taking over your personal life?

Let’s explore the reasons for this work-life imbalance.

Whether you’re a manager, supervisor, employee, freelancer, entrepreneur, or business owner, the struggle with work-life balance is real. It’s not just about job titles; it’s about unmanageable workloads, deadlines, and unproductive meetings that spill over into personal time.

Reflect on what you want in your life and what you need to remove to achieve balance at work and in your personal life, and start putting it into action. 

After reflecting, what are some of your work-life balance imbalances?

If you have any thoughts, experiences, or questions, I would love to hear about them. Your insights could be invaluable to others navigating this journey with us. Feel free to share in the comments section below as we support each other in achieving work-life balance in this busy world.

Today’s Affirmation:

I am achieving Work-Life Balance, and it’s good for my soul and family!

If you want more in life than work, consider scheduling a Work-Life Balance Coaching Session with Patti.

Exploring What Are Escaping From In Life and Work As A Manager and Supervisor

Hi,
Managers and Supervisors
How’s it going?

In this podcast episode, we’ll explore lifescaping and what may hold us back from achieving our goals.

Click to listen to the podcast Episode 30 –  Exploring What Are Escaping From In Life and Work As A Manager and Supervisor.

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.

What are you waiting for?

Today’s podcast Affirmation

I am loving my personal and work life!

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.

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.

Episode 80 Does Money Alchemy Build Better Relationships with Special Guest Eloise Burton

In this podcast episode, we had a Special Guest, Eloise Burton, a Money Alchemist and Author.

Click to listen to Episode 80 Does Money Alchemy Build Better Relationships with Special Guest Eloise Burton.

After years of suffering from a “money mess,” Eloise Burton discovered Money Alchemy. Growing up in one of the most deprived areas in the UK was not an easy place to start a healthy and respectful relationship with money. Over the years, she accumulated over £100,000 in personal debt and had her home repossessed. Battling with her mindset around money led her to close a successful business, but this was also the start of her awareness of a different way to work with money. She has fine-tuned techniques over the years and now shares with her clients how to create money easily and without the yucky feelings she used to have: fear, guilt, shame, and distrust. Now, she helps women with businesses open to the possibility of sprinkling magic mixed with a spoonful of logic to let go of their love/hate relationship with money, empowering them to welcome more into their lives. 

Eloise Burton shares:

*She shares her money journey and why she became passionate about Money Alchemy.

*She talks about her book, The Magic of Money Alchemy.

*What is money alchemy?

*She explains how money takes on the energy you give it.

*What is money shaming?

*How does having a good relationship with money build better relationships in our lives, whether at home or work?

Thank you so much for listening; please share the podcast with others, follow us on Spotify, and check out Eloise’s products and services. We will have Eloise’s contact information in the show notes.
