Episode 24 – Building Better Relationships with Social Media! – Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti (Podcast)

In this podcast, Episode 24, Building Better Relationships with Social Media, Angela and Patti discuss the hot topic of social media and how it can affect relationships.

To listen to the full podcast, click below: – Episode 24 – Building Better Relationships with Social Media!

We are concerned about how social media can cause hurt feelings, depression, addiction to social media, and comparison.

Here are some reflection questions:

❤️ What makes people feel it’s okay to post things they would most likely never say face to face or outside social media?  

❤️ Where does this boldness or insensitivity come from?  

❤️ Is proving your point worth all the drama and losing friendships over?

Today, we would like to explore how to manage some of those problematic behaviors.

❤️ How do we healthily relate to social media?

❤️ Are you taking a break from social media because it is “too toxic?”

What do you find frustrating about social media? What makes it so toxic to you? We would love to hear from listeners who could share what they find disappointing about social media. Why not leave us a comment?

Question to the Listeners: ❤️ What are some things you ENJOY seeing on social media? Share in a comment and let us know.

Angela:  I love healing meditations, and I share those because I love them.

Patti: I love seeing photos of families having fun together, vacation photos, travel adventures, and cute positive memes.

In a previous podcast (Episode 4), we discussed going beyond comparison and Accepting Oneself. “Cancel culture refers to the popular practice of withdrawing support for (canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive.

Cancel culture is generally discussed as being performed on social media in the form of group shaming.” https://www.dictionary.com/e/pop-culture/cancel-culture

Patti wrote a blog post similar to this subject called Don’t Be That Guy!   It is about shaming someone or making them the poster child in the workplace. When someone has committed bad behavior or done something procedurally wrong, some organizations use the term “Don’t be that (Guy) Person” for humiliation or as an example of what not to do. I feel this is similar to the cancel culture. In the blog post is a poll.  With this question – Is shaming an effective management strategy?

Angela will be holding gentle movement classes in September. To be informed, SIGN UP TO HEAR ABOUT CLASSES in the link in the show notes. For me, dance and movement are an authentic way to connect to myself and others. https://bit.ly/3fI6EpQ

Podcast Episode 11 – Tips and Tricks When Working With Someone You Don’t Like!

Angela and Patti share communication tips on how to stay in a job and manage complicated relationships.  How do you ask yourself questions to determine how to manage your emotions?  To listen to the full podcast episode, click below:

What does this meme tell you?

Take a look at yourself.  
Is the relationship problem really with you?  
What is it about this person that triggers you?  
Is it past behavior? Do they remind you of someone?  Do they remind you of something you don’t like within yourself?

Angela: Is this a group issue, or is it just for you? Do others in the workplace share your issue? This points to something missing in the group environment.

Use the PAUSE and REFLECT Technique
PAUSE for three to five seconds before responding.  This gives you time to change your response or not respond at all.

What if you receive a nasty passive/aggressive email from your boss or coworker?  
Before responding to the email, write out your response.  Please don’t send it!  Walk away for a while.  Sleep on it, if you don’t have to respond within the same day.  Then rewrite it when you have calmed down.  Have someone else read it that you trust to help tone it down before hitting the send button. 

What to consider:

Should I stay at my current employment or move on?

Make a list of “why to stay” and “why to go”.  Be upfront and honest. No holding back from the truth of the matter! Look at which column has the most reasons?  Make your decision from there.  Is there a good reason to stay?  Or reasons to leave.

Building Better Relationships at Home and Work [Podcast] – Episode 9 – Take Time for You and Your Family

To listen to the full podcast episode, click below:

In this podcast episode, Angela and Patti discuss the importance of alone time for yourself, incorporating family time, visualizing better family dynamics with some tips and strategies to make it happen.

Patti talks about the benefits of taking time for yourself and spending precious time with family.

  • Let the brain rest
  • Improves concentration
  • Boosts creativity
  • Helps with problem solving
  • Reflection time to understand yourself and be a nicer person
  • Creates relaxation and calmness

Spend time with family, spouse/partner, and give them our full attention without focusing on or thinking of work.

  • How do we do this?
  • When should we do this?
  • How often should we do this?
  • What is important to you?

Reflecting on these questions, we realize we really need our family and our spouse/partner in our lives. They keep us balanced, grateful, and loved.

Here are the links to Patti’s blog posts about spending time with family and planning a vacation:

Angela talks about Family Dynamics, and they can often be challenging for reasons we can’t always put our finger on. There is often tension in families that creates unexpressed hurts from a situation in the past. So, if you have a challenging family, start by realizing your family is not unusual! We all have quirks in families, and some of us have really strong issues in families, so we tend to run away from them!

How do you move past these?

Go back to questions above:

  • How do we do this?
  • When should we do this?
  • How often should we do this?
  • What is important to you?

Do you want to work on changing your family dynamics? Angela has a one-on-one coaching program.

Building Better Relationships at Home and Work [Podcast] – Episode 8 – Rediscovering Yourself and Rebirth!

To listen to the full podcast episode, click below:

 

 

What is the concept of Rediscovering Yourself and Rebirth?

Each day is a new beginning.  The sunrises and the sunsets. Time to release the old and start again.  Wiping the slate clean.  It’s often difficult to release bad situations, relationships, or past regrets.  Rediscovering is about looking forward to the future and letting go of the past, which is holding us back from what we want.  Watching a sunrise affirms a brand new day, and life continues to go on. In the life cycle, plants die in the fall and are reborn in the spring. There is a time to end and a time to begin.  The challenge is facing the fear of transition or change and being willing to rediscover yourself.  Inspired by Denise Linn, Soul Coaching Oracle Cards.

A Time for Everything    

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 New International Version (NIV)

Patti talks about career transition and making a career journal. You can learn more about these topics from the following blog posts below:

Making a Career Journal 

Lifescaping ~ What is holding you back in life?  

Feeling Stuck in a Dead-End Job? 

This Job is Killing Me… What to Do? 

Angela talks about rebirthing the Body. Sometimes, your body needs to be restored so your natural rhythms can come into sync, and you can rebirth your spiritual energy or reinvigorate your aspirations.

Creating a “Fallow field” for the Personality Habit of Pushing and giving yourself time to slow down.   Become in rhythm with your needs and nature, and do not rush.  Modern Society forces you to rus,h and it is becoming faster.   How do you say – NO and find your natural rhythm? Letting go.

On May 11, 2019, Angela will be doing a Movement Meditation ~ Align with Nature in Sydney, Australia.  https://www.facebook.com/events/308427649823591

Episode 2 – Getting Social Beyond Social Media – Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti [Podcast]

To listen to the full podcast episode, click below:

 

Episode 2Getting Social Beyond Social Media

People are losing face-to-face contact. There is homeschooling, working from home, solo entrepreneurs, single parenting, and much more. Distance over the internet makes people bold; they feel comfortable behind electronics. Interacting face-to-face makes shy people feel more uncomfortable, and they are not forced to socialize.

How do you get social away from the phone?

Recap:

  • Go face-to-face with others and put the phone away.
  • Go to the same place and time every week, and you may see the same people and make a connection.
  • Start going to meetup groups.

Patti’s view:

  • Stretch out of your comfort zone.
  • People cut themselves off from social opportunities before they even get there.

Strategy: Pick a place and go once a week. Get past the “what if” of past fear of rejection. Sometimes, you may never know who you may meet by taking a chance. Take the risk and leave the what-ifs behind. The most fun times have been talking to strangers about the weirdest things!

Angela’s view:

Connecting to your heart and writing exercise.

What do you want to experience socially?

  • Not everyone wants romance.
  • If someone invites you to go somewhere.  Say yes.
  • Find people with the same interests as you.

Building Better Relationships at Home and Work [Podcast] – Episode 5 – What is Being Authentic?

To listen to the full podcast episode, click below:

Episode 5 podcast – Angela and Patti discuss “What is Being Authentic?”

Patti’s view: A genuinely authentic person doesn’t wear a mask and become someone they are not or change to fit in.  They express their true thoughts, feelings, and views without apologizing.  Being authentic is having integrity and being true to oneself and others.

Angela’s view: Sharing without forcing people to agree.  Sharing without proving you are right or anyone is wrong.  Sharing from your heart.  Sharing to get an understanding between people.  Being in the heat of anger and needing to stand up and fight for what you believe in.

What does being authentic mean to you?
