Exploring Life and Work with Patti - From Chaos to Calm‪!‬ Exploring Life and Work with Patti - From Chaos to Calm!

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



In this podcast episode, we will explore the causes of Work-Life Imbalance as a Manager and Supervisor.



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.



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. In these sessions, I will provide personalized guidance and support to your specific situation, helping you find a personal life again and open up a world of possibilities for a more fulfilling life.

In this episode, there will be some adult language. I saw a reel on Instagram recently where the guy said, "Stress at work comes from giving a sh*t." Wow, that statement hit me hard because I sometimes (most of the time) care too much, take my responsibilities or projects seriously, and want to do the best job possible. I care about a great outcome.



What about you? 



Do you care too much while others who don't care seem to have no stress because they don't give a 

sh*t and appear to attract whatever they want at work?



They get promotions and special projects and climb the corporate ladder fast while dumping 

their work on everyone else, especially the Doer. At the same time, the Doer is overwhelmed and 

receives no recognition for all they do while someone else takes the credit.



How do you deal with your internal emotions?



What keeps you motivated to do your best and not let these situations jade you, defeat you, and overtake your ambitions and confidence?



Some may say what does it matter? It's just a job.



As Managers and Supervisors, we may only know what is truly going on with our team if we spend time with our staff and they feel safe discussing these situations. 



Does your staff feel comfortable talking to you about uncomfortable situations happening in the work environment? 



Do you feel comfortable asking how it's going and receiving unfavorable feedback you may have to address?



As a manager and supervisor, do you ignore things, hope they go away, and use the attitude I don't care to deal with the daily grind?



Think about the stress that is going on around you.



Have employees been calling out more than usual lately?



What about employees' attitudes at work? Are they more reactive than proactive, aggressive, unmotivated, sensitive, or lacking in productivity?



How are you feeling? Are you stressed or uncaring, or both? Or do you care too much?



This podcast episode offers a lot to consider. I would love your thoughts on this topic. If there is another topic you would like me to explore, please leave a comment. 



Today's podcast Affirmation

I choose to let go of what I can't control!



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.

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.

A few things Patti shared:

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?

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.

List things you want in life to create to achieve harmony and balance.

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.

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.

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.

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? 

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.

Today's podcast Affirmation

I let go and move on!

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.

Hi, Managers and Supervisors

How's it going?

Holiday Time is coming. Are you prepared as a Manager and Supervisor?

For a manager and supervisor, this can be a stressful time keeping the business running at maximum speed or at all.

Holidays have a lot of personal stress and often affect the work environment. What do I mean? It can be distracting and can lower productivity in the workplace. Some people become less productive at work during the holiday season and lose motivation. Productivity may be lower because managers and staff are on leave from the office, and workflow slows down.

What are some ways to prepare and ease the anxiety for you and your staff?




Do you rotate Holiday leave time with the staff? If someone takes off one Holiday, they work the other Holidays. Then, they take another Holiday the following year but not the one they got the previous year. 
Or does the team sit down and determine together what Holidays they get off?
What about you? Do you take time off during the holidays? Do you plan to take time off and not just physically be there but mentally and emotionally as well? 

Preparing well in advance with your staff who is taking time off and what holidays you are taking off - gives everyone a sense of commitment and understanding, and everyone can prepare with their family and friends. 

Time to reflect: What is your Holiday Leave Time plan for you and your employees?



Today's podcast Affirmation

I am prepared for the Holidays at work!



Question: Do you feel that work and personal life compete with your attention?

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. 

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