The Power of Inspiration

Struggles at work cause struggles in relationship and struggles in relationship cause struggles at work. And relationships are losing the battle. It's getting harder and harder because with technology like the internet, the boundary between work and home is getting totally blurred. People are looking for better ways to work and play. But it's not just business people who are struggling with this. Everyone is struggling to find balance in their lives. Even actors and performers I work with are struggling to find balance.
Transcript from Radio interview Chris Walker Australia
Q. You speak of quality of love as being a major trend in business throughout the world. I guess what you are saying is that more and more people are realizing how important a good relationship and family life is to their work life?
CW. They're connected. Struggles at work cause struggles in relationship and struggles in relationship cause struggles at work. And relationships are losing the battle. It's getting harder and harder because with technology like the internet, the boundary between work and home is getting totally blurred. People are looking for better ways to work and play. But it's not just business people who are struggling with this. Everyone is struggling to find balance in their lives. Even actors and performers I work with are struggling to find balance.
Q. It's a trend all over the world. Work is getting more intense, it's getting harder to sustain quality relationships and family life or even find personal balance. And we also have to deal with technology, we cant fight it. Cell phones and computers make the boundary between work and home totally blurred. Even celebrities are struggling with the pace of life. Actors and performers that I work with are also struggling to keep the balance. So are saying is that if we can manage ourselves better in the way we work, we'll turn up happier at home?
CW. There's no choice. Our partners deserve the fun, happy, sexy inspired individual they first met. They don't want excuses about work stress causing us to be tired, burned out, sitting like a zombie in front of the telle, the lights are on, but nobody's home. We've got to manage ourselves better at work so we can turn up at home, as partners and parents.
Q. So what's the 3 minute grab that our listeners can do to come home with more energy than they left with.
1. Sure. First. Value the fact that the relationship you have is the most important thing in your life and you owe it to yourself, your partner and your business to keep that romance alive. The key to this is don't wait for valentines day to say how much you love them. Make everyday valentines day. Remind your partner how important, how wonderful and how grateful you are for their love. Don't wait for Christmas to give gifts.
2. Micro manage. That means that the mood you create for yourself at work affects those you love at home. Every thought you think is important. You can't be one person at work and completely transform yourself at home. Treat people with respect, kindness and don't blame others for your emotional stress. Remember, People become as you treat them, it doesn't matter what the situation is at work, micro manage means that every stress you have at work affects your relationship at home.
3. - Stillness. Stillness is lost in this pace of life. There's always something on, something happening, something grabbing our attention. If we loose the stillness we loose love. A stressed person has no hope of running a great business because their heart is not in it. And that same stressed person will struggle in relationship. Turn off the TV, turn of the radio (not now) stop the worry and the effort, get out in the garden or the beach and just sit there for 10 minutes. Don't do something. Nothing sit there and just sit there. In these great moments you'll make better decisions for your business life, you'll become much more approachable at home and, most important you'll get perspective.
Q. We all have friends and associates going through marriage troubles that might have been prevented if they had found a better way to deal with things. Are these problems the same when you work with indigenous people in Canada, I notice you've done allot of work in suicide prevention over there.
CW. Identical. Absolutely identical. If you took any person, from any education, from any background or skin colour and put them in the same circumstances that the indigenous people of Canada face, they'd have the same problems. It's not about indigenous. It's circumstantial.
If one of those three points I mentioned is out of place, then it's really difficult. My experience is that indigenous people throughout the world are really thankful and amazingly generous people, and they have a wonderful connection to nature, so stillness comes automatically.
But there's no work, or there's meaningless work. We all need a sense of purpose, and that's missing if you hate your job. We've all got to have a sense of purpose, a reason for working that's more than just rent. We need to have good reason to jump out of bed in the morning and say "I just can't wait to get to work" I people don't have this, then, well micromanaging mood, and the affect on their relationships is unbelievable.
