Gratitude & Boundaries: The Key to Work-Life Balance

Gratitude & Boundaries: The Key to Work-Life Balance

What happens when a successful attorney trades her briefcase for a gratitude journal? Arlene Cohen-Miller did just that, and she’s here to share how setting boundaries and embracing gratitude transformed her life and career. On the V.I.B.E. Living Podcast, we explore how genuine appreciation for the every day can be a game-changer in achieving work-life balance. Arlene’s inspiring journey from law to coaching offers valuable insights into counteracting negativity and anxiety with gratitude. By focusing our attention on what we already have, we open our hearts to endless possibilities, uplift our energy, and lead more vibrant, empowered lives.

Self-care is more than a buzzword; it's a catalyst for breaking generational cycles and nurturing wellness. Together with Arlene, we underscore the importance of tuning into our inner voices and prioritizing our needs without guilt, especially for women juggling multiple roles. We'll discuss how acknowledging our accomplishments and setting firm boundaries paves the way for generational wealth and wellness. With stories of a mother encouraging her daughters to purchase property and thrive independently, this episode challenges societal norms and underscores the power of self-care. Tune in to discover how filling your own cup can create a ripple effect of positivity and balance for you and your loved ones.

00:00:03.584 --> 00:00:10.294
People who are feeling frustrated, overwhelmed like this lady was, feeling like there's nothing to be grateful for.

00:00:10.294 --> 00:00:14.510
What's the first thing that they might be able to do to begin to change their mindset?

00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:16.806
We have all these little things to be grateful for.

00:00:16.806 --> 00:00:19.251
All the time and we don't pay attention.

00:00:19.251 --> 00:00:23.731
And when we are feeling grateful, it's such a high vibration.

00:00:23.731 --> 00:00:29.068
It raises us up, it fills up our heart, it expands us out.

00:00:29.068 --> 00:01:03.082
Instead of being all contracted in fear and stress about what's happening in the world, we're more expanded out and from that space to be more vibrant, intuitive beautiful and empowered in their life.

00:01:03.442 --> 00:01:04.724
So come on, let's vibe.

00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:30.350
Well, as I've said before, and I will continue to say, we are living in interesting times, and one of the things that I find most interesting is how everybody seems to be dealing with what's happening, and there's two schools of thought.

00:01:30.411 --> 00:01:44.284
Some people think that we should just feed into our lesser angels and let them have it, and there's others that want to feed into our greater angels and find a way to kind of coexist, even though we might be polarized in some areas of our lives.

00:01:44.284 --> 00:01:49.554
And that's why I'm so glad to have our discussion with Arlene Cohen-Miller.

00:01:49.554 --> 00:01:58.545
She just brings a wealth of training and experience to help you compassionately and wholeheartedly lead yourself and create a life that works and feels right for you.

00:01:58.545 --> 00:02:20.346
And I think that, as her, she's a work-life balance coach and a professional certified coach from the International Coaching Federation, and I think you know, arlene, it makes such a huge difference to be able to operate and be able to maneuver what's going on from a positive perspective instead of a negative one, because, lord knows, we can certainly stay in the negativity.

00:02:20.346 --> 00:02:24.181
So I am so glad to have you here on the Vibe Living podcast.

00:02:24.181 --> 00:02:24.681
Welcome.

00:02:25.362 --> 00:02:27.324
Thank you, that was a lovely introduction.

00:02:27.324 --> 00:02:28.246
I appreciate that.

00:02:28.445 --> 00:02:29.366
Oh, you're quite welcome.

00:02:29.366 --> 00:02:33.951
I have to ask you first of all, how did you get into the whole idea of work-life balance?

00:02:33.951 --> 00:02:36.114
First of all, you know you're a lawyer.

00:02:36.114 --> 00:02:38.537
That, right there alone tells me a lot.

00:02:38.537 --> 00:02:44.348
My first husband was a lawyer and work-life balance is like no, just non-existent.

00:02:44.348 --> 00:02:45.313
So that right there could have been a motivator.

00:02:45.313 --> 00:02:46.360
But how did you get so passionate about that topic?

00:02:47.219 --> 00:03:06.413
Yeah well, I graduated from law school, I was married to my ex-husband was in medical school at the same time, and we moved from Lexington, kentucky, where he was in medical school I was in law school up to Cleveland, ohio so that he could do his residency up there, and so all of our family was in Kentucky.

00:03:06.413 --> 00:03:24.486
All of my peers from law school were in Kentucky or Indiana, and after a couple of years I opened my own business on a little main street in Lakewood, ohio, the west side of the Cuyahoga River, and immediately found out that I was pregnant and so I had no tribe there and there were no coaches.

00:03:24.486 --> 00:03:30.181
Then you could you had, you could have count, you could have a counselor, you could have a psychologist, but that really wasn't what I needed.

00:03:30.181 --> 00:03:47.685
So I had to like we're my own tribe and figure out how the heck am I gonna get this business off the ground, be a mother without you know the kind of support that I was used to, you know, family, parents, peers, nothing there and so I sort of did it from scratch.

00:03:48.187 --> 00:04:13.689
It wasn't easy, and I guess that's why I became so passionate about, you know, helping people with work-life balance and I bring in that word harmony as well, because I don't really like the feeling of the scales of justice, because it feels to me like work-life balance is more about being flexible and adaptable, because we're constantly changing and evolving and growing and so if we try to balance everything out, we're going to feel like we're doing something wrong.

00:04:14.331 --> 00:04:18.279
This is true and it's interesting because some people might, because we're going to talk about gratitude today.

00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.199
I'm just going to let everybody this is what we're going to be talking about.

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:21.242
And the reason why?

00:04:21.242 --> 00:04:23.327
Because we could have talked about so many different things.

00:04:23.327 --> 00:04:32.870
But the reason why is that I know that gratitude or operating in gratitude ushers in a certain kind of energy that can kind of eradicate that negative energy.

00:04:32.870 --> 00:04:38.831
But what does fostering gratitude or operating in gratitude have to do with work-life balance?

00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:40.661
Everything.

00:04:40.882 --> 00:05:18.803
It has everything to do with everything in our life, because if we're coming from a space not of head gratitude, where I'm writing this gratitude list and I'm doing this little checklist and we're grateful for all this, that doesn't change anything when we're really, really truly grateful for the blessings in our life and starting with, like the foundations you know, I have a roof over my head, I have a nice bed to sleep in, I have heat, I have running water, I have food in the fridge, in the pantry, I have people that love me and I love them If we start with, instead of looking for things to be grateful for and just knowing that we already have so many things in our life to be grateful for.

00:05:18.903 --> 00:05:19.887
I love this comfy chair.

00:05:19.887 --> 00:05:20.769
I sit in all the time.

00:05:20.769 --> 00:05:21.711
It's my workstation.

00:05:21.711 --> 00:05:23.404
You know all those little things are.

00:05:23.404 --> 00:05:27.360
I'm having this conversation with you and there's all the pretty pictures of your family on the wall.

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:28.281
It just makes me smile.

00:05:28.281 --> 00:05:34.021
We have all these little things to be grateful for all the time and we don't pay attention.

00:05:34.021 --> 00:05:36.908
And when we are feeling grateful it was just.

00:05:37.089 --> 00:05:38.452
It's such a high vibration.

00:05:38.452 --> 00:05:43.810
It raises us up, it fills up our heart, it expands us out.

00:05:43.810 --> 00:05:52.047
Instead of being all contracted in fear and stress about what's happening in the world, we're more expanded out and from that space, so much more is possible.

00:05:52.870 --> 00:05:53.997
I have to share something with you.

00:05:53.997 --> 00:06:04.687
When you're talking about the simple things, I had a client once who was suffering from anxiety and really felt like everything in her life was falling apart, and I said, well, just try to think of one thing that you're grateful for, just one thing.

00:06:04.687 --> 00:06:09.963
And I challenged you to do that for our next meeting, which was a week later.

00:06:09.963 --> 00:06:12.670
Next meeting, nothing on the journal.

00:06:12.670 --> 00:06:19.922
Couldn't think of anything and I said, well, okay, I mean, there's got to be something in your life, however small, that you're grateful for.

00:06:19.922 --> 00:06:22.709
And she says, well, my nail polish doesn't chip.

00:06:23.230 --> 00:06:25.540
I said, okay, write that down.

00:06:25.540 --> 00:06:27.908
I know it was a small thing, but that was the space that she was in.

00:06:27.908 --> 00:06:29.966
Right, that was a small thing.

00:06:29.966 --> 00:06:31.846
But then she said, oh, you mean things like that.

00:06:31.846 --> 00:06:35.848
And I said, yeah, and so she started, you know, journaling the simple things.

00:06:35.848 --> 00:06:38.427
Like you said, that was like about six years ago.

00:06:38.427 --> 00:06:52.146
She now has because she stays in touch with me, she sends me a card every Christmas and she is now up to something like 20 journals of gratitude, and because I have found that what you think about, what you ponder on, really does come to pass.

00:06:52.146 --> 00:06:59.790
And next thing, you know, all these other things start happening that you can be grateful for, and that's why I wanted to talk about that.

00:06:59.790 --> 00:07:11.165
So, for people who are feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, like this lady was, feeling like there's nothing to be grateful for, what's the first thing that they might be able to do to begin to change their mindset?

00:07:13.692 --> 00:07:19.992
for me, when I feel like that, when I feel really stressed, I say get the heck away from your computer and your cell phone.

00:07:19.992 --> 00:07:22.197
Put it down, maybe.

00:07:22.197 --> 00:07:25.324
Go outside and just enjoy and appreciate nature.

00:07:25.324 --> 00:07:26.432
There's someplace like that.

00:07:26.432 --> 00:07:33.678
It's not too cold like it is right now, or maybe there's just a friend you'd like to have lunch with, or there's some activity that you love to do.

00:07:34.261 --> 00:07:37.379
You know, I, for me, my yoga practice is like my saving grace.

00:07:37.379 --> 00:07:39.254
When I was younger, I liked to run, just I.

00:07:39.254 --> 00:07:42.663
It just helps me to physiologically move my body.

00:07:42.663 --> 00:07:55.913
You know, some of my friends love knitting or gardening, or it can be anything playing the guitar, music, listening to music, dancing around your house, whatever it is that takes you out of what you're focusing on.

00:07:55.913 --> 00:08:06.915
Because when you're focusing on how bad you feel, you're working with, you're not working with the law of attraction, which is what you focus on, is what you get in your life, which is what gratitude gives you, which is what you're talking about.

00:08:06.915 --> 00:08:13.713
When you're focusing on all those things you're grateful for, then you get more things to be grateful for when you're really doing it from the heart.

00:08:13.713 --> 00:08:17.399
And so I really agree, focus on one thing.

00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.264
It might be like you know, I feel really grubby.

00:08:20.264 --> 00:08:24.899
I'm going to go take a hot shower and just really really enjoy that shower.

00:08:24.899 --> 00:08:28.059
I mean, how many people don't have running water on this planet?

00:08:28.670 --> 00:08:42.903
We get to have a hot shower or bath anytime we want, I can remember a time oh, this was maybe about 13 or 14 years ago where there was something going on and they had to cut off the water, and the water was going to be cut off for longer than what they told us.

00:08:42.903 --> 00:08:51.903
Otherwise we would have gone to a hotel and by about the third hour, you know and it was actually we were out of water for like 10 hours, but by the third hour I was going nuts.

00:08:51.903 --> 00:08:55.298
I kept going to turn on, you know, because these are things you automatically think about.

00:08:55.298 --> 00:09:01.735
But it taught me something about being grateful for those things that you just automatically take for granted.

00:09:01.735 --> 00:09:11.501
And you know, I know that a lot of times we can get cranky and irritable about things that are going on in our lives and it's almost like we need a reset sometimes in how we're thinking.

00:09:11.501 --> 00:09:17.400
Any suggestions on how we can reset our mindset or refresh our batteries and move on to something else?

00:09:18.864 --> 00:09:19.163
I don't know.

00:09:19.163 --> 00:09:26.961
I just I was going to give you one of my typical tips and tools, but this feels like a more feeling experience that might help your audience.

00:09:26.961 --> 00:09:38.522
When I was 32, my son was two and I was pregnant and I had a really bad miscarriage and I ended up in the hospital for a week, you know, like all this blood coming out of me.

00:09:38.522 --> 00:09:41.620
My mother flew up to help me, bring my son to see me.

00:09:41.620 --> 00:09:43.272
I wasn't going to die or anything, it was just.

00:09:43.272 --> 00:09:52.230
It was heartbreaking, it was difficult and I had just my business was still in this infancy, I couldn't do anything with it and it was.

00:09:52.371 --> 00:10:08.807
It's like I had this epiphany, you know, about how precious life is, even though I had lost, I mean, the child, never really attached, so it was never really there and it was something to go through, but I just like, well, you know I'm here, life goes on without me.

00:10:08.807 --> 00:10:10.711
What do I really want to do with my life?

00:10:10.711 --> 00:10:15.399
And it really, you know, and my mother just being there and bringing my son to me every day.

00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:23.902
There was so much in that love to be grateful for and the whole experience is what, wow, arlene, what do you really want to do with your life.

00:10:23.902 --> 00:10:26.874
What's really important for you Are you going to focus on?

00:10:26.994 --> 00:10:34.317
You know, this one loss, you know, yes, let's feel through it, but it just gave me this feeling of like, wow, this is heartbreaking.

00:10:34.317 --> 00:10:38.563
You know the world is going on without me while I'm in the hospital.

00:10:38.563 --> 00:10:46.421
Let's do something more with the life when there is more gratitude and more appreciation for everything that's there.

00:10:46.421 --> 00:10:48.850
And, I don't know, maybe this story will help some of your listeners go.

00:10:48.850 --> 00:11:01.278
Well, I've had that kind of experience maybe not the same one where something's happened and it's been really difficult or devastating or challenging, and we made it through it to the other side, and it can really give us appreciation.

00:11:01.278 --> 00:11:02.774
We have this life.

00:11:02.774 --> 00:11:07.255
Let's work with it positively, let's bring in the gratitude.

00:11:07.255 --> 00:11:09.496
It's not like we're ignoring all those other feelings.

00:11:09.496 --> 00:11:18.820
We're feeling them, we're letting them move through us, but we're focusing on what we're moving towards and that's being really thankful and grateful for our life and what we have in it.

00:11:19.701 --> 00:11:24.341
Absolutely, and when we get back, I've got another question to ask you that really I need to know about.

00:11:24.341 --> 00:11:26.116
So we're going to take a break and we'll be right back.

00:11:26.116 --> 00:11:29.618

00:12:05.802 --> 00:12:23.464
Okay, we were just talking before the break about, you know, gratitude and everything else, but here's another thing that kind of will feed into it, because I think this can happen if you don't ever exercise gratitude and I have struggled with it running my business for 18 years how do you avoid burnout?

00:12:23.464 --> 00:12:34.432
It's such a basic question but I'm sure, inquiring minds all of us want to know, especially in midlife, because I think we get burned out in a lot of things in midlife because we've been doing a lot of things for a long time.

00:12:34.432 --> 00:12:35.073
How do we?

00:12:35.114 --> 00:12:35.754
avoid it.

00:12:35.754 --> 00:12:39.280
Well, I think it's really, really simple.

00:12:39.280 --> 00:12:46.142
It's like when I was an attorney at my desk as a young attorney, I ignored my own voice.

00:12:46.142 --> 00:12:51.804
It's like I would get to the office, you know, and I would leave early to pick up my son from school and maybe do some work at home.

00:12:51.804 --> 00:13:03.293
I sort of rearranged my schedule, but I would do like a couple of projects or a couple of things that were really important on my desk and my the human bit of me was going we need a break, we need a break, we need a break.

00:13:03.293 --> 00:13:10.239
We've done some stuff and I go oh, I mean, this wouldn't be outside, this would be inside my head where I just would plow through it.

00:13:10.239 --> 00:13:12.451
I wouldn't listen to my own knowing.

00:13:12.991 --> 00:13:25.455
So, if we do a couple of things, it's important to stop, acknowledge ourselves for what we have completed, especially if we've taken care of those things that we really didn't want to do at the top of our list.

00:13:25.455 --> 00:13:26.278
We got them done.

00:13:26.278 --> 00:13:43.407
Acknowledge it either, celebrate it kind of a little happy dance inside, or maybe do something for ourselves later on and take a break, even if it's 5, 10 or 15 or 20 minutes, just to refresh ourselves, get ourselves away from, like the computer, which is not the best energy for us.

00:13:43.407 --> 00:13:53.879
Maybe just go sit outside or do something that sort of is relaxed or chill thing for us just to decompress, breathe and then come back.

00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:57.397
Or sometimes, if we're really stressed out, maybe we take an hour and do something.

00:13:57.397 --> 00:14:03.356
You know we do, we listen to ourselves, we listen to our own, knowing there's no science to it.

00:14:03.356 --> 00:14:10.904
The problem is that oftentimes we're telling ourselves what we need to do and we're just going no, no, no, no, no, it's all okay.

00:14:10.904 --> 00:14:12.490
Does that make sense?

00:14:12.971 --> 00:14:13.613
Yes, it does.

00:14:13.653 --> 00:14:24.590
And that reminds me of something else, because I think that one of the messaging I want to do for 2025 is the importance of women making themselves a high priority.

00:14:24.590 --> 00:14:26.717
I mean a really high priority.

00:14:26.717 --> 00:14:45.485
Number one on your to-do list should be you, absolutely, especially at the stage of life, because for such a long time we've been pouring out to other people, we have so many roles that we play, and you know mother, wife, daughter, sister, neighbor, you know employee all these different things that we do, and everybody, because we have a tendency to be the nurturers with their.

00:14:45.485 --> 00:14:51.738
You know, hands open towards you, I help you, help me, you know, and you're trying to follow suit, to take care of the people that you care about.

00:14:51.738 --> 00:15:05.412
But somewhere along the line, we put ourselves so far on the back burner that when we're ready and we know we need to address it, it's difficult for us to find ourselves again in the right way without feeling selfish or guilty.

00:15:05.412 --> 00:15:11.828
So what do you say about that, when women feel selfish and guilty about the idea of taking some time for themselves?

00:15:13.378 --> 00:15:14.543
Well, here's the bottom line.

00:15:14.543 --> 00:15:18.498
The bottom common sense line is that we cannot give from an empty cup.

00:15:18.498 --> 00:15:24.462
We have to do things every single day to fill ourselves up with love, and I like to visualize it as a cup.

00:15:24.462 --> 00:15:30.267
I'm filling up with love and then there's this overflow coming out of the cup and that's what I'm sharing with other people.

00:15:30.267 --> 00:15:33.028
But my cup is always filled up with love, love.

00:15:33.028 --> 00:15:35.410
If we don't do that, the cup is going to get empty.

00:15:35.410 --> 00:15:49.537
We're going to get frustrated, angry, upset, we're going to probably take it out on other people, then feel guilty and then go back into the doormat I have to please everybody mode and so it's going to be this cycle of going around and around and around, and it's not.

00:15:49.537 --> 00:15:54.043
It's not good for us, it's not good for the people that we love and care about.

00:15:54.043 --> 00:16:07.960
So the bottom line is that this myth about guilt and selfishness that has come out from somewhere that either we've imposed on ourselves or has been imposed on us, and feel like it's being passed down genetically from generation to generation.

00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:11.543
Generation to generation, right we can say no way.

00:16:12.216 --> 00:16:14.001
I'm stopping that right here.

00:16:14.001 --> 00:16:14.403
Right now.

00:16:14.403 --> 00:16:18.124
I'm going to experience and model something different.

00:16:18.585 --> 00:16:19.486
I so agree with you.

00:16:19.486 --> 00:16:26.863
You know it's interesting because we do have these cycles that can be generational, but we can be the stopgap measure for that.

00:16:26.863 --> 00:16:28.321
We can stop that cycle.

00:16:28.321 --> 00:16:42.465
I know my daughters and I were talking about generational wealth and kinds of things that we want to do moving forward, and their feeling was that one of the things they wanted to do was to begin the cycle of generational wealth by purchasing property together as a sister unit.

00:16:42.485 --> 00:16:43.167
I have four daughters.

00:16:43.167 --> 00:16:44.357
They're all in their well.

00:16:44.357 --> 00:16:45.160
One just turned 40.

00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:58.317
The rest are in their 30s, and the idea was to find a place that they could call their community home, so that if anybody needs a place to stay when they're in between homes or whatever, they'll have this place.

00:16:58.317 --> 00:17:10.157
And the whole idea was to break the cycle of me being anxious about the what ifs and everything else, because I believe that anxiety has a tendency to run in my family, and so that's their stopgap measure in terms of financial anxiety.

00:17:10.538 --> 00:17:12.503
But I love what you said about that, that.

00:17:12.503 --> 00:17:14.067
You know we really owe it to ourselves.

00:17:14.067 --> 00:17:23.863
And you know what, if you get stuck on the idea of taking time for yourself, look at it this way You're doing that so that you can continue to be there for everybody else If you just can't do it for yourself.

00:17:23.863 --> 00:17:32.224
But my hope is that over time women will begin that journey of not having to justify or rationalize it.

00:17:32.224 --> 00:17:34.080
I mean, no is a complete sentence.

00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:39.847
We don't have to say the reason why or, you know, go into self-recommendation.

00:17:39.996 --> 00:17:42.163
Once we said no, which is something that I used to do.

00:17:42.163 --> 00:17:54.717
You know, as I said, my daughter's in my 30s and I still had umbilical cords tied to all of them until the baby girl moved so far away with her children that it was just impossible for me to be a helicopter parent.

00:17:54.717 --> 00:17:55.738
It's ridiculous.

00:17:55.738 --> 00:17:58.800
And my other three were in different states too, but I was still.

00:17:58.800 --> 00:18:00.542
You know, I had to let that go.

00:18:00.542 --> 00:18:08.750
And once I really realized that, that I was being a helicopter parent to adult children, I realized that this is crazy.

00:18:08.750 --> 00:18:17.263
Let me be grateful that they are adults and taking care of themselves and doing just great, instead of wondering about what's going to go wrong.

00:18:17.263 --> 00:18:21.503
You know, I think we sometimes have a tendency to want to control the outcome.

00:18:22.307 --> 00:18:31.586
Yeah, and worrying is praying for what we don't want to have happen, because I can remember my grandmother, my mother's mother, saying to me that it's my job to worry about you and I'm like, don't do that.

00:18:32.976 --> 00:18:35.461
Isn't that something that's so funny.

00:18:35.461 --> 00:18:48.703
You're right, you do hear older people say that, or the parents say that and all that, and the reality is that's kind of I don't want to say wrong thinking, but there's a better way to put it, and I'm so glad you came on to the Vibe Wellness.

00:18:48.703 --> 00:18:49.566
Vibe Wellness Journey.

00:18:49.566 --> 00:19:04.342
My goodness, wellness Journey was my other podcast, the Vibe Living Podcast, and I want to tell all of our listeners, if you're feeling out of balance and feeling guilty, anxious and stressed and you're wondering, okay, where do I go from here, considering, you know, getting in touch with Arlene.

I'm sorry about that.

00:19:19.800 --> 00:19:21.145
Oh no, that's okay.

00:19:21.145 --> 00:19:28.969
