Finding a Better Christian Work Life Balance Through Goal Setting
Finding a good balance between work and the rest of life can feel like standing in the middle of a teeter-totter. Sometimes one end is up, but before long that end is on the ground with the other in the air. Trying to make this work life balance happen can be frustrating, overwhelming, and exhausting.
Fortunately, God has given us some ways to achieve this balance. One of these ways is through the Holy Spirit and human will, which we use to choose where we put our time and energy. To focus our wills, we have a specific tool: goal setting.
What is a Goal?
A goal is anything we invest time and energy into attaining, whether we make it explicit or not. When we make it through a workday by telling ourselves that lunch is just around the corner, that next meal is our goal.
As a Christian, it's important that you make sure your goals are in line with what God desires for your life.
"Philippians 4:8 tells us, "whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
Thus, if any of your goals focus on something untrue or unjust, they are not taking you towards God.
Goals and the Work Life Balance
Goal setting is the key to achieving a healthy work life balance. Since God calls most of us to many things, this is an important balance to attain. Setting goals helps us decide what is considered a priority and how those priorities stack up against one another. Achieve your goals and you will become more and more the person God created you to be.
It's important that your goals are realistic. If they aren't, you won't be able to achieve your goals and they will only frustrate you. So look at the things you believe God is calling you towards. This can include, but is not limited to, work, family, church, and various ministries where you serve others.
Once you have these priorities, look to the future. Ask yourself where you want to be in your work life balance in 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years. Set a goal for each priority and within each time period. Examine these to make sure you can really achieve your goals in the time you've given yourself, particularly in light of each of the other goals. Change any goals that seem unrealistic in light of reality.
With your list of goals in hand, think of some solid steps you can take toward each one and note these next to the goal. These steps are your daily or weekly goals. When you achieve each of the smaller stages along the way, you're one step closer to achieving your longer term goals.
After you go through this goal setting process several times, you will have a refined list of goals and steps to get there. Stick to them, and you will be able to not only achieve your goals, but find a solid work life balance as well.
