Hi !

Welcome back to this week’s edition of the newsletter.

What’s In It For You:

• Dive Deeper into the essence of work-life harmony beyond the obvious advice.

• Uncover hidden layers that could help with your self-awareness.

• Engage in this week’s deep dive challenge.

Let’s Reflect:

Do any of these resonate with you?

• You find yourself achieving goals yet feeling unfulfilled as if something deeper is missing.

• Life feels like a series of tasks rather than a meaningful journey, and you're not sure why.

• You're curious about exploring beneath the surface to discover what truly brings you harmony.

Insight: Diving Deeper into Work-Life Harmony

In the last edition, we began peeling back the onion to reveal the foundational elements of true harmony.

This week, we journey further into the core.

Getting to this point, post-burnout, seemed like a lifetime for me, but it’s where the real work began in my journey 10 years ago.

This part serves multiple purposes: one for recovery/rediscovery and one for harmony.

With each layer of the onion removed, so does our understanding of ourselves and our quest for harmony.

It helps us to identify what ‘harmony’ means for us.

I’ve detailed these in the following section.

The Hidden Layers

Let’s get into it.

• Unconscious Beliefs

  • What stories are you telling yourself? 

    Often, we operate on autopilot, guided by beliefs formed long ago that may no longer serve us.

  • Challenge the Narratives: 

    Identify one belief about success or leadership you've never questioned. Is it holding you back?

• Emotional Underpinnings

  • How do your emotions influence your decisions? 

    Unacknowledged emotions can steer us away from our true path.

  • Emotional Intelligence: 

    Begin to notice your emotional responses throughout the day. What are they telling you?

• Inner Conflict

  • Are you living in alignment with your true self, or are you sacrificing your authenticity to meet others' expectations? 

    Ignoring your core values creates an internal battle that shatters harmony.

  • Reclaim Your Authenticity: 

    Identify moments where you've compromised your beliefs for external approval.

    Ask yourself: Whose standards am I living by? It's time to honour your true self and let your actions reflect your deepest convictions.

Reflection Time: Take a quiet moment to think about these questions. Jot down any insights that come to mind.

Awareness is the first step toward transformation.
