Unlock Work-Life Harmony: Mastering Boundaries & Boosting Well-being

Unspoken boundaries can often cause frustration.

The struggle to attain work-life harmony has come up in a lot of coaching sessions over the past month with boundaries being the highest "contributor" (excuse) to not being able to successfully achieve/experience it.

Without awareness, acknowledgement, and action you cannot expect things to be different.

When it comes to boundaries we get to take the inner game/dialogue into play. A lot of people struggle to say "no" because of the meaning they make about themselves following through with the act of saying "no".

Examples:

• I won't seem valuable
• I will be seen as a bad daughter/son/parent/spouse/employee
• I won't be able to get a promotion
• My partner/spouse will accuse me of not caring/being committed to their happiness
• My boss will look bad if I don't complete this project (even though I know it is unrealistic)
• I want to come across as a 'go with the flow' type of person

Can you see all the judgments? None of which are true, nor useful.

Productivity and well-being go hand in hand and two important components that determine your wellbeing are your boundaries and discipline.

You deserve work-life harmony and can have it. In order to create it - what gets to change?

Reflect: What is one area of your life where you would benefit from having clearer boundaries, but haven't voiced them yet? Which column below do you resonate the most with? Are your personal boundaries different than your boundaries involving other people? Are your boundaries involving other people different than your ability to complete tasks/stay in alignment with your values?
