Eliminating Office Drama

Creating Healthy Boundaries in the Workplace

The workplace is a fertile ground for chaos if we don’t learn how to say “no” to power struggles or excessive demands, or how to handle difficult co-worker problems, employees or supervisors. We spend far too much time and energy in the workplace for the experience to be anything less than joyful and productive. Get the most out of your 9-5 by learning the art of setting constructive limits and creating positive workplace relationships.

Keeping good company morale

How to Deal with the Over/Underachiever in Your Office

Some people are true slackers believing everyone else should take on their workload for them whereas others are perfectionists and work to such excess that others feel intimidated by them. In many ways these two extremes are flip sides of the same coin. They alienate others and bring down the company morale due to the coworker problems they create. In this presentation, Dr. Debra teaches participants how to spot these types in the office or recognize that they themselves fit this description. She offers the tools needed to change this vicious cycle.

The phrase, “you become one parent & you marry the The phrase, “you become one parent & you marry the other” is very confusing to me.

The truth, in my opinion, is that everyone becomes a mix of both. We take elements from both parents, and all important people in our lives, especially from our childhood to become who we are in adulthood. And who we grow to marry is a much longer conversation 🤣

What do you think?

tl;dr: This post is meant to put a fire under your tl;dr: This post is meant to put a fire under your butt to urge you to take action in your life instead of idly waiting for external forces or sources to take action for you.

So many people have options at their fingertips to make things better, yet they remain stagnant in the hope that "The Universe" or some higher power will sweep in and fix everything for them. But many of these people would fare better claiming responsibility and taking constructive steps on their own toward changing what isn’t working. It would be better to take the universe out of the role of janitor (whose job is to clean up our messes) and instead give that all-knowing power a little break!

Just like we all need a vacation from the intensity of our busy lives and responsibilities, wouldn’t it be nice for the universe to have a little R&R now and again? That doesn’t mean that its power isn’t still ever-present. But maybe we all need to be a little more respectful and turn to ourselves and our community for the help and support we need, rather than waiting for the universe to clear everything up.
Whether you have full faith and a unified internal Whether you have full faith and a unified internal sense of a higher power, are floundering about trying to figure it out, or you reject the notion entirely, here are a few tips on how to claim the power you have at your own fingertips to make your life a little better.

➡️ Don’t dwell on the past or overpredict until tomorrow what you can do today.” Remember, by the time tomorrow shows up, it will already be today.
➡️ If you’re stressed or have some other life concern, rather than wait for a miracle to save you, instead ask yourself what is in your control to do differently to make positive changes. More often than not, we have options for change. We just must assert them.
➡️ If you feel defeated and struggle with your own resources – ask a trusted friend or loved one who can point out feasible and reasonable actions you can take.
➡️ Beware of being a naysayer and/or someone who asks for help and then rejects it. Even if a suggestion you receive is not a perfect fit, modify it to your liking and take the action recommended.
➡️ Use community resources. While some communities are more resource-rich than others, with the accessibility of the Internet, you are more likely to have resources available to you. Of course, you shouldn’t trust everything you read on the Internet. But if you gather information from reputable sources, you’ll likely walk away with something valuable.
➡️ Seek professional help when necessary. Some things we aren't meant to handle on our own.

I guess my message is: continue practicing your faith if you have one. But please also consider giving the higher powers that may exist a little break and instead push yourself to take charge and make positive changes in your life now! And then when a miracle occurs, you’ll truly appreciate it!
If you aren’t sharing it, you’re storing it...& th If you aren’t sharing it, you’re storing it...& that gets heavy quickly.

Keeping your emotions bottled up won’t make them disappear. Your heart bears the weight of what remains unspoken. 

Speak it and begin to heal. Don’t bear the burden alone. Releasing what's unspoken can help you feel lighter.
Affirmations can be like gentle whispers of encour Affirmations can be like gentle whispers of encouragement, guiding you through the storm of an anxious day. Here are a few to help ground you when the world feels overwhelming:

💛 I am supported & loved.
💛 I will focus on the positives.
💛 I am resilient and capable of overcoming any challenge.
💛 I am capable, worthy, and cherished.
💛 In this moment, I am safe and calm.

Repeat these affirmations to yourself whenever you need a moment of clarity or a reminder of your inner strength.

Remember, you are not alone, and brighter days are close ahead. 💛

Media Saturation may harm our mental health! Do y Media Saturation may harm our mental health!

Do you engage in watching, reading, or listening to too much news, crime dramas, or even social media? 😱 All of these activities, and others, consume your brain’s energy, ultimately overwhelming and dysregulating your nervous system.

So for today, I challenge you and myself to bracket off a block of time and let it all go! Don’t hear it, watch it, or read about it! You might think, “I can’t” because of work scenarios, child care, or other things you “absolutely have to do.” But as best you can, take a break and check out, even if just for five extra minutes! 

💕self care, love yourself, inspirational post, you are worth it, bet on yourself, digital way of life, unplug for the day
