Me! I’ve got a great core group of girlfriends, all close in age that we like to go out at least once a month if not more and celebrate birthdays together it’s so nice to have like-minded people who live through what you’re living through the day today and it’s great getting to know them outside of school too!

We have a monthly happy hour! Just a small group of teachers that can vent and understand and support one another. Venting only for a bit though… then we just enjoy ourselves!!!

Additional Posts in Teacher Self-care

Yoga nidra is my new favorite self care. I sleep deeper, and it doesn't deplete my precious energy. No side effects or injuries, either.

I love Mindful Movement on YouTube, and she has a yoga nidra vid. Audible also has some, I love Dare to Rest by Karen Brody, and the free one Practical Yoga Nidra by Scott Moore is good too.

I’m concerned about the surge in omicron. I packed everything, just in case. Q2 is ending, a new quarter is starting. We get new kids each quarter as a Specials teacher.
It’s stressful at quarter changeovers.
In going back after break, it’s too much of a contrast. I cannot sleep, I wake up in the middle of the night, “for the day”, about 6 nights a week. To stay structured, I go to “Surrender yoga” daily. I’m good to go do 1 more thing after yoga. I feel accomplished. Couching causes anxiety.

Is anyone else crashing hard today? It’s almost 5pm and I haven’t left my bedroom. My kids are fending for themselves and a little confused about why I haven’t come out.

Every morning I wake up at 5. This guarantees me 45 minutes of quiet time. This time is reserved for me, selfishly! It is used for me, selfishly! It looks different each morning.

• Some mornings I jog.
• Some mornings I start to jog, give up, & go eat a snack cake.
• Sometimes I read.
• Some days I sit in the shower & let the water hit my face like rain.
•Other mornings I selfishly make my wife coffee, & fold laundry.

The point is, the time is mine! When is your time? When do you make time?

I need some advise. 2 years ago( when I turned 33) I realized my energy level is going down at a faster rate everyday then I have ever experienced. I had my doctor do yearly different tests and everything is normal. I try to work out at least 2 times a week and take vitamins D and B12. I am getting fatigue and feeling weak, unable to accomplish my tasks sometimes (not depressed). I am losing the sense of consistency. Anything anybody would recommend to do or take?

I work in a public school setting and am allergic to citrus. My district has stated that it is too much trouble to accommodate me. I carry an Epipen and have an anaphylaxis reaction to being exposed to citrus. My district is not accepting my doctor note. They think I am exaggerating and refuse to limit citrus fruits on my campus. An HR meeting concluded that I was required to work through it/use the emergency response team if I have “an issue”. Pls share if you have had a different experience

Art is a cathartic process for me. It has been a decade or more since I have used charcoal to create. When my students requested it as a unit this quarter, I was mildly excited.

After a few quick sketches, my excitement has grown.
