Welcome back to EdYouWell! In this episode, we're focusing on an important aspect of our teaching journey—keeping yourself at the forefront of your priorities, especially when the survival mode and disillusionment phases have left you feeling worn out.
We'll dive into where we currently are in our teaching year, reflecting on how the recent break has provided us with a moment of rejuvenation. Just a few weeks ago, we were grappling with the intensity of the school year, but now, we’re poised to look ahead with renewed energy.
Our discussion will cover three key practices to help maintain and extend that feeling of rejuvenation:
☑️What to Expect: Don't You Forget About YOU:
1. Mindset Reset: Harness the fresh start after your break to rejuvenate both yourself and your students. We'll talk about using what you’ve learned about your class to kick off the new phase positively and effectively.
2. Letting Go and Doing Your Thing: Embrace the idea that the to-do list is endless and focus on prioritizing your well-being. Learn how to balance personal joy with professional demands, and why it’s crucial to set aside time for what brings you happiness.
3. Practicing Gratitude: Discover the power of gratitude to shift your perspective and enhance your emotional resilience. We’ll share practical tips for integrating gratitude into your daily routine to boost positivity and appreciation.
💧Well Wishes:Teaching can often feel like an endless cycle of tasks and challenges, but remember that the tough times are also opportunities for growth. Use this rejuvenation period to reflect, reset, and re-energize. By prioritizing your well-being and practicing gratitude, you can maintain a positive mindset and approach your work with renewed vigor. You have the strength and resilience to navigate the highs and lows of the teaching year. Keep focusing on what brings you joy and fulfillment, both in and out of the classroom. Your dedication is invaluable, and taking care of yourself is key to continuing your incredible work with students.
As always, be well, do well.
