Just Checking In!
Hey KAIO fam! Last week, we talked about the importance of creating healthy boundaries and a work-life balance. But we know this can come with a lot of challenges and growing pains. We’re just checking in to try and provide some encouragement and remind you of some tangible ways you can work towards this work-life balance.
If you’re feeling discouraged or unmotivated to work towards creating these boundaries, that’s okay! The thought of instilling these boundaries can be intimidating and daunting. Be sure to always give yourself grace, even on the days when you might not be practicing the desired balance you want. And always remember— this is not a sprint, it’s a marathon! There isn’t a set time you need to have all of this figured out by, it looks different for everyone. Be sure to give yourself grace, and never be too hard on yourself!
Ways To Achieve The Balance
In our last devotional on this topic, we talked about some ways to work on creating this balance. We wanted to share them again in case you may have forgotten some. Reminder— these aren’t the only ways to work towards creating a work-life balance! These are just a few we thought are a good starting point:
– Be sure to honor your Sabbath! It’s important to make sure you take a day to rest, reset, and honor all of the blessings the Lord has given us!
– Removing work from your mobile devices. Sometimes when we have all of our work utilities at the tip of our fingertips, we’re more prone to check them during unconventional hours. Removing work platforms from your phone will lessen the amount of time spent on work during non-normal business hours!
– Set boundaries on what times you will work, and honor those times. Setting these structured times will help keep a schedule for yourself that will help you honor the commitments you make outside of work, making more time for your personal life.
– Give yourself grace! Achieving this kind of balance takes a long time and a lot of trial and error. It’s important to give yourself grace and set attainable goals.
Happy Wednesday, KAIO fam! We hope you have an amazing rest of your week! 💕
