Here's how you can overcome challenges to achieving work-life balance with the help of life coaches.

Create your own work balance. Why not work-life balance? Because proper rest is part of the job too. You can try to build it yourself. Or use tested and proven tools not just for yourself but for your team as well. 90% of time management effectiveness depends on the technique you use that suits you best. With so many techniques available, it's obvious you can't use them all at once. Therefore, analyze the challenges ahead and then choose the method that will best help you succeed. For example, a 2-Minute Rule technique boosts productivity, reduces procrastination, and ensures efficient use of time to accomplish tasks and goals.

A Life Coach helps you in the following ways :- 1. What is it exactly that disturbing you and making you believe that you are lacking in work life balance? 2. What are the concrete reasons behind your current situation? 3. What are the top 3 thoughts that contribute to the situation on a regular basis? 4. What feelings get nurtured when you focus on certain thoughts? 5. What is it exactly that you want to change in your routine and why do you want it? 6. What are the smallest steps you are willing to take to incorporate harmony in your routine? 7. What is the "Big Why" behind incorporating changes? It is important to understand that balance is a myth and work life harmony is what people must focus on.

There’s no such thing as balance. Different days, different weeks, different years will need different priorities from you. Sometimes work will be that priority, other times it’s your health or your personal life. Get clear on your non-negotiables - what does a healthy and fulfilling life absolutely have to include for you? Then ride the waves of life.

The answer is often found in the question - What is it that you want more of in your life? Balance is often tricky, but making a choice can be transforming. When we consciously choose what we want more of in our lives the universe starts sending us more of what we need to support our new life choice. My role as coach is to support my clients is owning their strengths, recognizing their unique beauty within, and living their life passion with purpose, so that they are living their best lives.

Esto de establecer metas tiene mucho que ver con el propósito de cada uno y creo que lo único que debo recomendar es que por más que quieras dedicar tiempo al trabajo, el día no tiene si no 24 horas y necesitas tiempo para dormir y para distraerte. Cada uno decide como se distrae y en cada uno el tiempo que le exige el organismo para dormir es diferente. Lo que sí no es negociable para el organismo es que no se genere equilibrio. Se corre el riesgo de caer en la adicción al estrés y créeme, no te va a gustar eso. Si no te pausas, tu organismo te pausa y muchas de las veces de maneras que no son buenas.

Every morning, I set new goals for the next chapter of my life. Being clear about your desires simplifies life, avoiding getting bogged down with unfinished goals and tasks. Plan your life or you will be part of someone else's plan. Be proactive and strategic!

*Controversially I Disagree that goals should be set by using the SMART system .* I teach my clients to be ready to PIVOT when the time is right. Yes it is essential to have a set goal and be specific about it BUT when it doesn't work out the way we imagined this creates setbacks, disappointment, huge discouraged feeding, and impostor syndrome. Therefore it's important to set goals but reevaluate them regularly so we can pivot to a different share of the original goal when needed.

Portuguese - Definir metas é fundamental para alcan?ar um equilíbrio saudável entre trabalho e vida pessoal. Você já pensou em estabelecer metas claras e específicas para melhorar esse equilíbrio?

Setting the goals around what the client wants for work life balance is key. These goals should start out small, so the client doesn’t feel like they are letting someone down. This is a big obstacle when setting these boundaries for the client. It’s also a mindset change. Which takes time to adjust.

Esto está orientado a algo que los psicólogos usan mucho a partir de una herramienta didáctica que se conoce como la rueda de la vida y Yo lo encuentro muy útil. Hace referencia a que debemos tener equilibrio en diferentes áreas y debemos trabajar para mantener lo más equilibrado el tiempo que dedicamos a cada una de estas áreas, que son Entorno, profesión, recreación - diversión, crecimiento personal, pareja, dinero, salud, amigos - Familia. Es posible hacerlo, es posible vivir en bienestar a pesar de las circunstancias.

Managing time is about prioritising the things that are important or helpful in achieving your desired outcome. A coach will not only help with this, but can ensure you identify what you need to do doing and shift your mindset to more helpful states.

Eine weniger bekannte, jedoch tiefgreifende Methode ist die Erh?hung deiner pers?nlichen Schwingung. Je h?her diese Frequenz, desto mehr steht deine Energie im Einklang mit positiven Emotionen und Zust?nden wie Freude, Dankbarkeit und Liebe. Auf praktischer Ebene bedeutet dies eine Lebensweise, die dich energetisiert und erhebt, anstatt dich zu entkr?ften. Du fühlst dich vitaler und ben?tigst weniger Schlaf. Dies führt nicht nur zu einer Steigerung deiner t?glichen Effizienz, sondern auch zu einer tieferen Zufriedenheit und einem ausgeglicheneren Leben. Wenn du bewusst Wege suchst, um deine energetische Frequenz zu steigern, schaffst du die Voraussetzungen für eine Transformation, die weit über blo?e Produktivit?t hinausgeht.

Set realistic goals and break them down into manageable steps. Establish SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals that are aligned with your aspirations. Then develop action plans to achieve them. Learn to delegate effectively which maximizes your productivity and minimizes overwhelm. Identify tasks that can be outsourced or shared with others. This allows you to focus your time and energy on high-priority activities that align with your strengths and expertise. Saying 'No' can be challenging, especially if you're a people-pleaser or fear missing out on opportunities. However, setting boundaries and declining commitments that don't serve your goals is essential for preserving your time and energy.

Teaching clients to Own their time is the key. Setting boundaries to protect their time. Prioritize items in their life is a first step client need to determine. The priorities may change at different times. For example during 8-5, my priority is my corporate job, after those hours my family and business is priority. You may have different list of priorities during different days or times.

Setting boundaries in your professional life can lead to greater productivity and job satisfaction. By clearly communicating your availability and expectations to colleagues and supervisors, you create a work environment that respects your time and autonomy. This reduces stress and prevents burnout, allowing you to perform at your best. In your personal life, boundaries are equally crucial for maintaining healthy relationships and self-care. Set boundaries in your friendships, family dynamics and romantic partnerships. Learning to assert your needs and preferences fosters mutual respect and understanding. Boundaries aren't rigid rules set in stone. They should be adaptable to change based on your circumstances and priorities.

Healthy boundaries are vital for maintaining a work-life balance. A coach can help you identify and communicate your limits, learn to say "no" without guilt, and prioritize self-care. By setting boundaries, you'll protect your time, energy, and well-being.

The most common trait that I see with clients and a poor work life balance is people pleasing, not saying no, setting poor boundaries, weak delegation skills, and poor task prioritisation. This is not an exhaustive list. It can be difficult for a client to see the wood for the trees when you have a poor work life balance and working with a good coach to help the client unpick their current situation, challenge as they see fit and help to identify areas for change and development to help the client create a work life balance that suits them will definitely help. Setting new boundaries and working on how these boundaries are communicated to others is important too.

The definition of balance is personal and evolves during different stages of life. A coach can help you define what you would like balance to look like and then define and implement behaviors that will contribute to your developing the balance you are looking for. For example, a young professional may see the benefits of working many hours, balancing future goals (like spouse, puppy and children) with their current passion for all the experiences their new career provides. When using boundaries to establish balance, an important one to begin with is one that discerns your own desires from others' view of what you should be doing.

El equilibrio entre laboral y personal tiene que ver con el manejo del tiempo y los limites entre áreas de vida. Sentirse víctima respecto: "el trabajo adsorbe mi tiempo y estoy perdiendo el crecimiento de mis hijos o momentos con pareja y familiares... Va de la mano con "la culpa que experimento al abandonar a hijos, pareja, familiares por el sacrificio para darles mejores condiciones de vida" Aquí existe un doble aspecto: ?cuánto de la propia capacidad productiva colapsa o se distrae en la víctima/culpable? y ?cuánto del tiempo personal distraes atendiendo temas laborales? Más que tiempo o limites, el Coaching te ayuda a aumentar tu ENFOQUE y PRESENCIA mejorando tu productividad y obteniendo mayor satisfacción en cada momento personal.

Be open to trying new things. What used to work for you may not, now, or in the future. You're not the same person you were. We're forever changing and so are our circumstances. Today we have a little more experience and a little more wisdom, it's OK to make some different choices. Hopefully, you're willing to learn from them... good or bad. It's still growth. You can have a fixed-mindset in one area and a growth-mindset in others. A coach can help you work through the blocks you're too close to see.

Flexibility is key in today's fast-paced world. We help our clients develop a mindset that can adapt to unexpected changes without derailing their balance efforts. Consider Emily, a high-achieving attorney whose meticulously planned schedule is disrupted by unexpected court hearings and client emergencies. With coaching, Emily learned to embrace flexibility by adopting a mindset of adaptability. Rather than becoming flustered by changes to her agenda, Emily learned to approach each situation with calmness and resilience, maintaining her equilibrium amidst the chaos.

A life Coach will help a client understand that life is dynamic and help them see the benefit of having an open mind (a mindset that things can change at any moment) so as to embrace sudden changes that may occur in their work or personal life. Flexibility is not a weakness but a key life skill that will help one stay sane at all times and not fuss about anything that doesn’t work out as planned.

In an ideal world, it would be enough to define our vision of balance and then make plans, establish boundaries and mange our time to reflect that vision. Flexibility becomes essential when in spite of efforts, circumstances outside of your control throw off the balance you seek. Flexible Thought - Being rigid in what is considered the ideal balance creates resistance to the unexpected. Energy might be spent complaining, feeling resentful, blaming - all of which are disempowering and negatively affect performance. A coach can help identify thoughts, beliefs and even underlying fears of uncertainty, and shift you to a more calm & fluid perspective, improving your resilience, therefore your performance and your chances of greater success.

I'm happy to help you embrace flexibility! Here are some ways I can assist: Shifting Your Mindset: Challenge rigid thinking: Acknowledge that things rarely go exactly as planned and accept that unexpected changes are inevitable. Focus on the bigger picture: Remember that flexibility allows you to adapt and overcome obstacles, leading to a more fulfilling life. Embrace the learning opportunity: See unexpected changes as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than setbacks.

En algún momento, todos, necesitamos ayuda. Lo que pasa es que la figura de los coaches de vida está subestimada y por supuesto cada quien califica los servicios a partir de sus resultados. Por eso recomiendo antes de tomar el servicio, validar experiencia a partir de testimonios, validar que tiene un código ético de servicio por escrito y que las condiciones del servicio se plantee desde el comienzo. En los casos en que la situación que lleva al cliente a no gestionar correctamente el equilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida personal, requiera medicación, un lifecoach no puede atenderlo; debe remitirlo a un psicólogo o a un psiquiatra. Además de los lifecoaches existen otros profesionales que pueden formar parte de la red de apoyo.

It is not worth it being a public success and a private failure. You can stand out of the crowd, but not at the expense of your family and friends. Find the balance and strike it. Hold onto it dearly and carefully, like the way you cup something delicate like a butterfly in your hands. Hold it too tight and you will crush it, hold it lightly and it will fly away.

To achieve your work life balance, you make need support from others. You may want to adjust your work pattern (flexible work). Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength not weakness. It’s important to delegate and to ask for support both at home and work!

Für tiefe Transformationsprozesse ist es unabdingbar, dass du dich bewusst für Phasen der Einsamkeit entscheidest. Dabei ist es wichtig zu verstehen, dass "alleine sein" nicht gleichbedeutend mit "einsam sein" ist. In diesen Momenten der Stille kannst du tief in dich gehen und Aspekte deines Lebens reflektieren, die im allt?glichen Trubel unter gehen. In der Stille beginnst du, deine Wünsche, ?ngste, Hoffnungen und Tr?ume zu verstehen. Dieser Prozess erm?glicht es dir, Entscheidungen zu treffen, die mehr im Einklang mit deinen Werten stehen. Wenn du alleine bist, bist du frei von den Ablenkungen und Meinungen anderer. Die Kunst liegt darin, die Balance zwischen gesellschaftlicher Interaktion und pers?nlicher Isolation zu finden.

A supportive network is (of course) invaluable in achieving work-life balance - and a decent life coach knows its significance. By encouraging you to cultivate relationships with family, friends, and professional connections, they help create a robust support system. This network provides emotional encouragement, practical assistance, and valuable insights, enabling you to navigate challenges with greater resilience and ease. With their guidance, you'll learn to lean on your support network moew, for strength and perspective, for a more balanced and fulfilling life, both personally 'and' professionally. ????????

In my experience and the insight I have from my mentor is that most people are focused on “making a living” INCOME FOCUS vs truly focusing on “creating a life”OUTCOME FOCUS. We also go through life trading something of a higher value being TIME to get make MONEY being lower in value. As a by product of Being INCOME focused we spend more time away from our loved ones to provide them a better future. So when it comes to work life balance I feel it’s all about priority management we will always focus and spend time on what we prioritize. So if you look at your standard day and simply list all the tasks and the hours you spend on them will give you clarity on your priorities in life.

La formación de los lifecoaches nos habilita para orientar a los clientes con relación a lo que los abruma y limita su productividad, generando dificultades en el manejo de la agenda. Cuando tienes bloqueos por más que manejes objetivos SMART y agendas automatizadas, etc. no encuentras como avanzar. Se debe ir al origen, al detrás de cámaras para poder alcanzar un equilibrio entre la vida familiar y la vida laboral.

Another important things life coach can help you is: - Identify Values and Priorities: Life coaches can help clients clarify their core values and priorities in both their personal and professional lives. By understanding what matters most to them, clients can make more intentional choices that align with their values and contribute to a balanced lifestyle. - Set Clear Boundaries: Coaches can work with clients to establish clear boundaries between work and personal life. This may involve defining specific work hours, setting limits on work-related activities outside of those hours, and creating dedicated time for self-care, family, and leisure activities.

Acknowledge that balance is "on average" not minute to minute or even day to day. Some days you rest and work a bit, other days you work a lot and rest little. Take a step back and recognize that on average you are in balance. If you are too close nothing feels in balance because you are either living your life or working in any given moment there is not a way to have both at the same time to be in balance all the time. Keep your perspective and recognize that balance looks different to each person. Acknowledge also, that Life/Work balance is not always supported in the workplace no matter the words they put to it. If your boss or colleagues have no balance then that environment isn't going to support you in your pursuit of balance.

Very few things in nature are truly balanced, but rather supplemental and cyclical. Why do we want to be unlike nature? I’d rather say that one needs to set priorities right for each “season” and thus have a balanced overall life rather than trying to balance each moment
