Work-life balance

Raffaello Palandri's avatarStrategic Growth Insights: Unleashing Your Potential

In my coaching and consulting activities, I very often use holistic practices – like MMQG, just to name one – to improve the perceived well-being of the individuals, teams, and organizations I help and support.

Everything that helps you improve your work-life balance is essential for your productivity and happiness.

💡 Struggling to find work-life balance?

You can elevate your well-being and unlock your full potential through the power of self-care and setting boundaries. Make it a priority in your daily schedule to practice holistic disciplines, engage in regular exercise, and allocate dedicated time for hobbies and relaxation.

Learning to Trust After Romantic Abandonment

Vikki Stark M.S.W., M.F.T. writes “Shaman Joseph White Wolf told us about when he first got to know his wife who had been married before. She traced a big square in the air and told him that she had a map of her life with all the pieces in place in this square, just like she liked them. Her family, her home, her work, her friends – she liked the life she had constructed for herself. Then she said, “Now I see your little nose poking up into the corner of my map. I’ll let you come inside but you need to know, I’m not changing any of it for you. So you’re welcome to come into my life but you have to be a plus because my life is good just as it already is.”

This article resonates with me. I have met a brilliant, beautiful, bad-ass banker who has a ‘map’ like that. Vikki’s perspective validates what my intuition told me from the beginning: the map she constructed was a big part of what made her attractive in the first place — to try to change any of that would be the worst mistake I ever made! Now every day I wake up in gratitude for the knowing of her, aiming to be that ‘plus’. that ‘cherry on top of her sundae’.

The Curious Personality Changes of Older Age

When people lose the ability to control their circumstances, their selves sometimes evolve instead.

“You’ve probably heard the saying “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” An awful phrase, I know, but it speaks to a common belief about older adulthood: that it’s a time of stagnation. A time when we’ve become so set in our ways that, whether we’re proud of them or not, we’re not likely to budge.

Psychologists used to follow the same line of thinking: After young adulthood, people tend to settle into themselves, and personality, though not immutable, usually becomes stabler as people age. And that’s true—until a certain point. More recent studies suggest that something unexpected happens to many people as they reach and pass their 60s: Their personality starts changing again.” Go to source to learn more: The Curious Personality Changes of Older Age

Adverse Childhood Experiences

The term “adverse childhood experience” refers to a range of negative situations a child may face or witness while growing up. These experiences include emotional, physical, or sexual abuse; emotional or physical neglect; parental separation or divorce; or living in a household in which domestic violence occurs. Other difficult situations include living in a household with an alcoholic or substance-abuser, or with family members who suffer mental disorders, or in a household with an incarcerated family member.

Then I asked: “What is it that you love about her?”

Love this story so I’m stealing it…

Then I asked her, “What is it that you love about Martina?”

There was a pause on the other end of the line and a sigh.

“Oh God,” she said. “I think I’m going to cry.”

And she did. In that moment, I understood it would not be a small story.

I wish I had asked for something more important!

LOL. A week or two ago I reached out to the Outlook team at Microsoft via Twitter and let them know how much I hated the stupid message that said ‘you’re done for the day’ everytime I reach Inbox Zero (which is several times a day). Lo and behold the message is now changed…

I had one ‘Microsoft wish’ and I blew it on that… :-D
