Create time for yourself and do NOTHING.
You're never going to get everything done. There's always something else.
Take a break and relax!
Take care of yourself! I find time in my day to get some exercise, besides running around the room. Stay hydrated. Prep or plan some healthy lunches for the week, but allow some indulgences too! I keep some dark chocolate on hand at all times!
Practice self care regularly. Be good to yourself so you can be the best you!
No texts, emails, phone calls when I’m not on the clock.
I’m also doing this! Solidarity.
We are all replaceable, after I figured that out, I felt less of a perfectionist at my responsibilities from admin.
Students care about you, but they will try to stress you out if you give them an inch.
I made new boundaries.
Honestly…Prayer and journaling…Make time with Jesus daily and let him order your words and actions. Our profession is often full of stressful situations. Its how we decide to deal with each situation that confronts us. Breathe and take it one day at time. It will all get done and it will ALL be okay. (Oh and Workout) 💪🏾❤️🙏🏾🥰 Here’s to an Amazing year! I start tomorrow!!
Great attitude to model!! You got this!!!
Mindfulness is what I am making an effort to check in with myself throughout the day. Being aware of my feelings is what I do to de-stress
For me I am going to establish boundaries. My No, to committees, and extra meetings will mean, No. I will dedicate my time to doing things I enjoy and want to do.
Have fun, act silly, build relationships, and start every day with your favorite music!🎶
Keep daily journal; found just writing down the day was mentally relaxing as well as physically helpful before prepping next few days. Then as I aged, a 15-minute snooze was equally helpful.
Turmeric, lemon, green tea, and ceylon cinnamon tea to detox
Admin is there to advance their careers; not help you or the kids.
Do what’s right by the kids while shining it up for admin.
🎶🎶 Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway 🎶🎶
I’ve taught at enough campuses to know I have to avoid toxic admin by all means necessary until retirement. They would rather deal with your replacement then deal with your behavior kids
I think we have to accept that there will be stress. There are a multitude of ways to deal with that stress, but we need remember that we are always going to have some stress.
These are excellent suggestions!!! Thank you, dear Teachers, and may everyone have a great fresh productive and fun new school year!!
Keeping in mind you are only human, and you can only do your best. Let go and let go in some overpowering situations and remember no one else in this world can be like you and that is your superpower.
We saw Gerry Brooks yesterday. He had some great suggestions. The main one for teachers was to use a light switch. At the end of the day or week, turn the switch off. This reminds you to turn off "teacher mode" and leave it at school.
