Episode 47 - Life Spheres & Fidelity ... be on guard against blurring, creeping, and infringement

The Hopeful Humanist Cafe

With the rise of remote work, it could be helpful to look for the red and green flags in our ability to separate our work lives from our personal lives. If we are not careful life spheres (what I like to call "Life Domains), might blur in such a way that one sphere creeps into and violates the boundary of another sphere. A red flag/green flag inventory will help us keep our feet firmly on the ground to create healthy and balanced lives.

Quote: "Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground." - Wilfred Peterson

Additional Resources:

1) Interested in going to the source to learn more about "Greedy Institutions," check out Lewis A. Coser's book called, "Greed Institutions; Patterns of Undivided Commitment," hopefully at your local library if possible. Otherwise it will be an expensive read. See for yourself by taking a visit on Amazon via this link: https://www.amazon.ca/Greedy-Institutions-Patterns-Undivided-Commitment/dp/0029067502/ref=sr_1_19?dchild=1&keywords=Lewis+A.+Coser&qid=1596237365&sr=8-19

2) Lisa M. Najavits' book "Seeking Safety" is a great manual for standing up to addiction and PTSD. Again, hopefully, you can locate it at your local library, but if not here is the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.ca/Seeking-Safety-Treatment-Manual-Substance/dp/1572306394/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?dchild=1&keywords=Lisa+Nadjivats+seeking+safety&qid=1596237520&sr=8-1-fkmr0
