Self Care for Teachers (Positive Discipline: Creating Respectful Relationships in Homes and Schools)

Description:

Self Care for Teachers - Taking care of yourself is the best gift you can give your students (by Dr. Jane Nelsen & Dr. Kelly Gfroerer).

  1. Make a list of the things you like to do that feed your heart, your body, your mind, and your soul.
  2. Get out your calendar and make time for yourself EVERY day.
  3. Give up all guilt about taking time for yourself, or for taking time to be with people who boost your energy and your joy.
  4. Keep a gratitude journal.
  5. Ask for help when you need it. After all, you aren’t asking for anything you would not be happy to give. Allow others the blessing of giving to you.
  6. Laugh and learn from your mistakes— another great gift to yourself and others.
