Putting life in boxes If you are familiar with my coaching at all you will have heard me go on about compartmentalising many times. It’s a brilliant tool used to reduce stress, boost focus and increase productivity. All good so far. For those who haven’t heard of it, I will try to summarise. Imagine a grid (or draw a grid on a piece of A4) and put different parts of your life into each box. Draw as many boxes as you want. Then pick one box and just concentrate on what is there – nothing from the other boxes. Finish that task then move to the next box. (That is a very quick description so if you would like to go through that in greater detail in relation to your life, please go to my website below to book a call.) But it occurred to me earlier this week compart-mentalising is not always a good thing. Because the thickest walls or com-partments can leak. I’m talking about emotions, reactions. We can compartmentalise our actions but not our feelings. The human mind just doesn’t operate that tidily (and a good thing too or it would be a very dull world). So if one compartment - or part - of your life is causing you stress, chances are it will, at some point, seep into other parts of your life. You know how it is when you are tired,
overwhelmed, sleeping badly, worried about your job or a child? It starts to affect how you react to the people around you and events in totally different parts of your life. We just cannot shut off strong feelings, however much we would like to. That’s why we all need to look after ourselves, to take stress and anxiety just a bit seriously. If you feel something in your life is causing everything else to feel challenging, take action. Address the situation if you can by having that difficult conversation, making a tough decision or considering how you can delegate something. Or seek external support. None of those steps will be easy. I admire all my clients for taking the step in talking to me – it cannot be easy to start with. But once you have taken the decision to make changes or seek help, you have done the hard part. From then on you are not battling a situation alone. Whatever you do, done early and promptly will mean the rest of your compartments remain water tight.
