Saying no is a powerful habit for establishing healthy boundaries. 2 Do not mix work time and family time. I have set work hours and set family hours—and in seasons, work has gotten more hours, specifically when we are pushing for a new rank. In other seasons, we have given more attention to our family. 3 Be kind to yourself. We aren’t superheroes—we are humans, and we have limits. Let go of some of your ideals for a season.
