One of the best ways we can build healthy boundaries is by setting ourselves up for success with a regular time with Jesus and dive into the Word of God. In Part 2 of Healthy Boundaries Jill Miller from Teacher Be Still reviews the power of learning to hear God's voice through connecting with His Word-- learning to discern His voice and follow His leading. She then leads us into a series of practical boundaries we can set for ourselves to make sure we're taking a Sabbath, keeping ourselves away from correcting EVERY bit of student work, bringing home work every night, and being so consumed with our "to do" lists that we don't put our relationships with others first.
Making sure we have health in our own families at home requires that we don't work all afternoon, or evening, and that taking time to be present is key. Jill encourages us to use her 3 part power to do list to hone in on the most important tasks for the day, and only adding to it if we can successfully accomplish any additional items. She also encourages us to celebrate finishing items... "because our "to do" list will never be done... and that is ok!" Thank you, Jesus, that you help us say, "no!" is another important boundary that has to be practiced and followed to mean anything to us or those around us. I'm excited to hear how this Boundaries Podcast Series helps improve your educator self-care!!
