33. How to Integrate Personal and Professional Life by Setting Boundaries
Description
All the talk about self-care went in one ear and out the other, for many years I was on auto-pilot when it came to thinking about myself. I spent all the free time I had thinking about school and working on school.
Then I had children and discovered that I had no balance in my life. Let’s be honest, there is no balance. There are always times when one thing in life has more attention than another part of life. Balance is a myth, hear me out.
Integration is where it’s at. Integrating all the parts of our lives in a way that feels good.
That’s a lot to ask because how do we know when we have it all integrated. I’m not sure we ever really know, but what I do know is that setting boundaries and sticking to them helps.
I’m exploring the pressures and stressors we face as teachers and how setting boundaries helps us to be a better version of ourselves, especially during the Holiday season.
