Episode 35 – Emotional and Physical Self-Healing Reset! (Podcast)

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In today’s podcast, we will share some techniques to refocus your energy, which can also help you reset yourself for the year.

What is Physical Self-Healing?

Physical self-healing is learning and creating habits that support you, your body, and your spirit. And recognize and release patterns that are out-dated and need to go, such as workaholic tendencies, wasting your energy, thinking bad about yourself and others, and putting your body’s health last.

Angela’s Tips on Resetting your Physical and Emotional Energy:

Setting an intention for the year to determine your focus for your life. How does the intent take you further than last year? Did you achieve your goals for last year? Why not What would you love to try this year? Is it more or less of what you are doing?

Physical Reset Tips:

1. Shower. And imagine the water washing over you is fresh life energy and white light. Feel that light is releasing the past.

2. Go to the ocean and release old energy.

3. Visualize yourself in a bubble of light to accept who you are just the way you are without attempting to change or be different. Light is used in healing to wash in different vibrations because we are vibrating; from our blood flow to our heartbeat, we are always vibrating. You can even now imagine yourself in a bubble of any color light and notice how it makes you feel.

4. Angela does meditation to walk you through this technique quickly on the podcast. BREATHE. FEEL HEART AND FEEL BREATH and LET GO of OLD and FOCUS ON NEW BREATH. Take a few breaths to refocus your energy.

Ask the following and see what comes to you.

WHAT IS IT YOU WANT FOR YOU?

WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR WORLD?

How to write an affirmation:

*Start with the words I am?

*Use the word or statement in the present tense.

*State it in the positive. Affirm what you want.

*Keep it brief, specific, clear, and straightforward.

*Have a word with (ing)

*Include at least one dynamic emotion or feeling word.

*Make the affirmation, so it resonates with you!

Affirmation: I am resetting my focus on my dreams!

Patti gave this example:  Someone that works all the time and has little attention or focus on their body or health.  

Reflection questions:

*What are the benefits of leaving work on time?

*What actions will you put in place to leave work on time?

*How will you use this extra time to focus on a healthy lifestyle?

*Describe your life after achieving this?

Every Monday in 2021, Angela has a Facebook Live https://www.facebook.com/transformedrelationships where you can breathe for 7 minutes and focus on what you want to manifest and focus on during the week.

Angela is starting a new meditation class.  Jan 13, 2021, at 9:00 pm EST and 7:00 pm MT and 6:00 pm PT on Wednesdays or 1:00 pm Thursdays Jan 14, 2021, in Sydney the next day. https://dancewithangelahealing.as.me/meditationtobalance

Patti’s 21 Days to Optimal Work/Life Balance Program with its reflection questions helps open your mind to a new way of looking at what you want in life. It resets your mindset as well as physical reset with some of the topics. There are affirmations in the program, and Patti made companion affirmation cards for support and inspiration to keep you on track.

Episode 29 – Balancing Play and Work to Better Your Relationships! Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti (Podcast)

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In this episode, Angela and Patti discuss the importance of work-life balance and having more play in our daily lives and relationships.

To listen to the full podcast, click on the link ➡️ Episode 29 – Balancing Play and Work to Better Your Relationships!

❤️ Do you have work-life balance in your relationships?

❤️ Are you spending valuable time with your family and close friends?

Some say work-life balance is not achievable, while others say you can. What is a balanced life, really? It is what you choose it to be. There will be times in our lives when we think it can never be achievable. The question may come – How do you stay balanced when you feel everything is crashing down around you?

❤️ It may be time to step back, say enough, and refocus on what truly matters.

Play can be challenging if you come from a life where you are expected to be serious. Maybe you don’t allow yourself to play or need permission to play. Perhaps you need a purpose for play. So give yourself a purpose for the play. The purpose for play could be “I’m stimulating my creative mind” or “discovering lateral thinking and new ways of coming up with solutions”. 

❤️ What does play mean for you?

❤️ What will it add to your life?

This can be a great way to encourage play and provide an opportunity to invigorate your life.

Life will be chaotic, hectic, and disappointing, but having some strategies will soften the experience. How we react to it is what determines happiness. Put some of these suggestions into practice and don’t forget to step back, breathe, enjoy your life, schedule playtime with family and friends, and let go of what does not matter. Live life to the fullest!

❤️ Do you want more balance and play in your life?

If yes, Patti has a 21 Days Work-Life Balance Program 21- Days Optimal Work/Life Balance Workshop. ➡️ www.CoachingforInspirationwithPatti.com

Interested in Patti’s Affirmation cards ➡️ https://coachingforinspirationwithpatti.com/worklife-balance-affirmations-cards

Patti also has a mini-course called Work-Life Balance Hacks for Busy Leaders who LOVE their Career but Want MORE in Life!   This course is for crazy busy leaders, working 24/7, and want something more in their life. Seven easy hacks to create some personal life balance.

Episode 27 – What! Why Sensitivity Training and Coaching? – Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti (Podcast)

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In this episode, Angela and Patti discuss sensitivity towards others in the workplace and daily life.

Listen to this podcast by clicking the link: Episode 27 – What! Why Sensitivity Training and Coaching?

How did this topic come about?

We were talking about a blog post Patti wrote called “What! Sensitivity Training?” 

(Patti) The idea came from watching the movie “Sensitivity Training”.  It caught my eye because it was about a life/business coach and her reluctant client.

Questions for the Listeners:

  • Do you want an insensitive society?
  • Are you happy being complacent when people are being ignored, hurt, or mistreated?

(Angela) Gentle movement has shown me that softness allows the compassionate part of us to expand, and that compassion is mostly (if not always) more often with yourself, after compassion with yourself, comes discovery, awe and other awarenesses about the gift of your body, the gift of life, the gift of breathing, the beauty of so much if you want to know more check out https://dancewithangelahealing.as.me/ and sign up for the newsletter; https://bit.ly/3fI6EpQ

(Patti)

Reflect – Does it need to be said?

Will they listen to the feedback and take it to heart or will it cause more conflict and damage to the relationship? 

Do I need to end this relationship for my mental health? 

Sometimes, you can’t totally end the relationship, but you can distance yourself and set boundaries. I try to remember that each person we interact with may be faced with some hard life challenges that are not discussed, and some are hurting so deeply with emotional wounds that have not been addressed and healed.

Sometimes throughout our lives and careers, we may say something offensive to someone and not even realize it. It was unintentional; however, we learn from those mistakes and continue to grow as a person, coworker, parent, child, sibling, spouse, manager, supervisor, and leader. Apologize when you should. Take time to listen, observe, and be open to other people’s points of view. Be coachable. Take personal development courses and read books.  Hire a coach to help you get through any challenges you are facing.  Learn from your daily interactions and reflect on how to improve next time.

Episode 25 – What are the Benefits of Change? How Can They Strengthen Your Relationships? – Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti (Podcast)

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In this podcast, Episode 25 – What are the Benefits of Change? How Can They Strengthen Your Relationships? Angela and Patti discuss change and how it can strengthen relationships.

To listen to the full podcast, click below: Episode 25—What are the Benefits of Change? How Can They Strengthen Your Relationships?

Let’s think about – What are the benefits of being more grateful, thankful, light-hearted, friendly, kind, and positive?

Here are some possible benefits:

❤️ Positive thinking attracts good things to you.

❤️ A positive outlook creates meaningful relationships.

❤️ Being positive decreases depression and anxiety.

❤️ Positive thoughts increase motivation, inspiration, and creativity.

❤️ Being positive improves the immune system.

While reflecting on these benefits, why do you think society isn’t more positive?

How do we change a negative culture? By changing the focus to a positive and encouraging outlook towards each other, we increase motivation, creativity, and better health. This improves relationships, whether at home or work, and it makes the environment a better place, too.

What else can we do?

❤️ Affirmations are a great way to help improve your outlook.  I would use affirmation driving to work to get me through the day.  Here is an example of an Affirmation.  “Positive thinking is changing my relationships for the better!”  Repeat it throughout the day, silently or out loud.

❤️ Self-reflection is another strategy to improve and change our attitude for the better. Here is a self-reflection question to journal about:  How am I creating more positivity in my life?

https://anchor.fm/building-better-relationships-at-home-and-work-with-angela-and-patti/episodes/Episode-25—What-are-the-Benefits-of-Change–How-Can-They-Strengthen-Your-Relationships-eick1k

❤️ Pray to God for the change you want to see in your life, for the world, and have faith it will happen.  It may not happen as you thought it would, but it will probably be much better.  Keep the faith in the good around us and not in the fear and anger thrown in our direction.  🙂

❤️Spend time in meditation to calm and lighten your spirit. Smile, think good thoughts, and speak kindly to those around you.  Doing this will change the way others treat you as well.

❤️ Tell your spouse/partner, children, and parents you love them whenever you talk to or see them.  Love can change the world.  People who feel loved radiate love. How am I creating more positivity in my life?

Episode 21 – Lack of Communication and Overworked! – Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti (Podcast)

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti Podcast Episode 21- Lack of Communication and Overworked! Click on the link below to listen to the full podcast episode.

In this episode, we discussed improving communication with your boss and not overworking yourself while working from home. Due to the virus, many people have been working from home lately, and some have found themselves working even more hours.

How do you find balance?  

This is a period of change in how we work, and it doesn’t look like it will go back to the way it was, so more change is coming. One of the challenges I hear about is people working from home and taking care of their children at the same time since daycare services and schools are still closed. They have become the teacher, playtime instructor, nap time enforcer, lunch, and break time scheduler, all while trying to work at home.

Because of the suddenness of the change, many of us have been expected to do extra work without extra pay or support, and there has been little time to discuss the conflicting expectations or changes and how they require extra thought and extra time to implement.

What are some examples that you have seen?

Time management skills and learning what the boss expects while working from home. Setting boundaries with the family while working, how to do it all, and keep everyone calm, productive, and sane.

A routine is good.

Getting up at the same time you would if going into work, eating breakfast as a family, everyone getting dressed, and starting their day. By having a routine, everyone knows what they are supposed to do and can get things done. School work, Zoom calls, projects, breaks, lunches, dinner, free time, and nap time. One of the extra duties is learning how to move things online and deal with new technology or platforms, including changing how we present and share information.

Now, we have an opportunity to create a new normal for dealing with change. When things require extra thought and extra time, how do you approach your boss, co-workers, or those you work with?

Are you problem-focused or solution-focused?

Often when things change suddenly, we focus on being unable to do what we used to do, which stops us from speaking up about our needs. I’ve noticed people harboring resentments with superiors or employers because they feel they can’t speak up. After all, there is so much change; they need to deal with it. However, a business or employer will often struggle with the change. If you can respectfully share what you see as not working and what you see as a solution to that lack, then it clarifies for everyone what possible solutions are. And it may spark others to come up with other solutions, including your employer. Avoid staying quiet because everyone is just trying to deal with the change, but share your ideas respectfully without making people wrong.

Angela seeks feedback on people’s relationship needs in these times of change.

Have people changed their needs and experiences of relationships?

Episode 20 – Making Relationships Effortless! – Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti (Podcast)

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In podcast Episode 20 – Making Relationships Effortless! We share examples that stop relationships from being effortless and recommend changing those habits to welcome effortless relationships, whether in the workplace or home life.  To listen to the full podcast episode, click below:

Here are some highlights of the episode:

Angela—Patti, when I was dancing with a group in the early 2000s, we used to explore effortless movement. We always knew when things just flowed, and we would be amazed.

Then we found we couldn’t repeat that effortlessness because we started thinking about the movement instead of feeling it. We asked what habits as humans we have that make us drop out of going with the flow. And we discovered the habits of being and thinking that interrupt our heart or force the heart to be something it’s not because we think we should be a certain way.

Angela – What I’ve learnt about effortless relationships is from the Einstein statement:

“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

Patti – How to Break Bad Work Behaviors:

❤️ Identify the behavior or action

❤️ Decide to stop

❤️ Replace the habit with something positive

Angela—Making things effortless is enhanced by not coming from old habits of thinking. Old habits of thought make things repetitive and usually stuck or fixed. Instead, you want to approach things sideways, ask questions that take a person to a different topic or a different way of looking at a topic.

Podcast Episode 19 – Reaching Midlife and Handling Life Changes (Bending Your Knees) – Building Better Relationship at Home and Work with Angela and Patti (Podcast)

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In podcast Episode 19 – Reaching Midlife and Handling Life Changes (Bending Your Knees), Angela and Patti share about reaching midlife and handling what comes your way. To listen to the full podcast episode, click below:

Angela, tell us a little about the podcast title, and Bending Your Knees?  

We thought about this topic a while back, but I thought about it when I had trouble bending my knees after surgery.  It was a shock after being flexible most of my life; I couldn’t bend my knees easily. Everything about surgery was a shock, but also in recovery, I experienced a lot of feelings, not being able to be like I used to be, and there was fear about the future and uncertainty about who I was going to become now.  

Midlife is a critical time to look at your life and see what you cannot do. Not so that you pine about “being old” or look at the past as something that you’ve lost – although you may have a period of grieving.  

After or during grieving, it’s important and valuable to take stock and reflect on the results of your life thus far.  

How do you feel about your life?  

Reflecting on your life constructively will help get you out of the cycle of thinking and feeling that you have lost something or that your life has amounted to nothing. And will help you start to see –

❤️ What is your life about?

What was the purpose of all that running around, learning, working, not working, having kids, being sick, being healthy – etc. –

❤️ What was it all for?  Bending the knee reflects flexibility and humility. In my case, I had setbacks, such as getting a little better, only to get sick or weak again. That taught me to do things differently to meet my needs and energy better.  Mid-life is a great time to realize, there is only so much you can do – so how can you do it better, with less energy, and less ego about how you look, how young you are – it’s also a time to measure what success for you is? Is success about how much money you have? Or is it how happy you are?  

Patti tells us about what you found that stops people from embracing the possibility of change in mid-life.  

I have spoken to many people who feel they are stuck in a dead-end job. When Sunday comes around, they dread thinking about going to work the next morning. On Monday mornings, they hit the snooze button multiple times and force themselves out of bed. On the way to work, they push themselves with positive affirmations or the opposite with “I hate my job” self-talk.  

🦋  Do you feel like you could do your job in your sleep?  

🦋  Are there no advancement opportunities where you work?  

🦋  Do you feel hateful and resentful when you walk through your workplace?  

🦋  Do you get any acknowledgment for a job well done?  

🦋  Am I learning any new aspects of my position?  

🦋  Are my job duties challenging to me?  

🦋  Do I enjoy going to work every day?  

🦋  Am I motivated and striving to increase my productivity level?  

🦋  Do I feel I am making a difference?  

🦋  Are my coworkers positive at work?  

🦋  Am I positive at work?  

You may feel stuck in a dead-end job if you answered no to these questions.  

What are some options to improve the career situation?  

Use daily affirmations to get you through the day. Patti created some work-life balance affirmation cards. These cards are good to use for any day-in and day-out work or home situations.   

Work-Life Balance Affirmations Cards

❤️ What do you want our world to be?  

Answer this question on the Facebook group page for Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti: What are the things, experiences, and joys that you really, really would like to experience?

Angela and I would like to thank you for following our podcast!
