Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to the Teachers Ed Podcast.
I'm your host, edward Eshazer.
Teachers Ed Podcast is a placewhere the best and brightest in
education come to be inspired,to connect, to learn and to grow
.
Let me start off by sayingHappy New Year, everyone, and
welcome to the first episode of2025.
(00:24):
A new year brings newopportunities, and today I want
to talk about how we, aseducators, can embrace the new
year ahead and truly, trulythrive.
In this episode, I'm going toshare three things that
educators need to start doing tobe the best version of
(00:45):
themselves in 2025.
And these tips that I'm goingto give you today are actionable
, they are transformative andthey are designed to help you
make this your best year yet.
So let's dive right in to thefirst one.
Tip number one is we mustprioritize our mental and
(01:05):
physical health.
As educators, we get so caughtup and often focused on taking
care of everyone else around uswhich is why we usually wear the
weight of so many people,whether it's our students,
colleagues and even our familythat so often we forget that we
(01:28):
also got to take care ofourselves, and we heard this a
lot during COVID, and it is atruth that you really can't pour
when your cup is empty and ifyou want to be the best version
of yourself in 2025,prioritizing your mental and
physical health is not an option, but it has to be essential.
(01:51):
And one of the things that wecan do, starting today, is set
non-negotiable self-care time,block out time each and every
week for activities thatrecharge you, whether that's
reading, whether that'sexercising, whether it's taking
a nap and I want you to begin totreat this time as sacred.
(02:15):
The second thing is we got tomove our bodies.
Physical health and mentalhealth are so closely connected.
You don't have to be someonethat's like, well, I don't have
an hour and a half to spend atthe gym, and you don't need an
hour and a half to spend at thegym.
Even just taking a daily walkor just a 10 minute stretch to
start the day can work wondersfor your energy and mood.
(02:39):
And the last thing is we haveto protect our mental space.
You have to pay attention towhat drains you versus what
fills you up, whether that'slimiting your exposure to you
know the negativity that's outthere whether that's social
media, toxic conversations withfamily, with friends, and maybe
(03:03):
group chats that you're in thatjust don't really make you feel
good and they just take up a lotof time or really anything else
, and I want us to startreplacing that with activities
that lift you up and that makeyou feel fulfilled and really,
for me, I used to think thatself-care was something that I
(03:24):
could just get to later, butafter hitting a point of burnout
a few years ago, I realizedthat I had to make it a priority
for me, and I try to get atleast a 20 to 30 minute walk in
almost every day just to reallyclear my head, and I stopped
drinking because I knew thatthat was just a coping mechanism
(03:45):
versus actually dealing withthe problems and struggles that
I was having.
And these simple things theyreally changed everything.
It gave me a mental claritythat I needed to better show up
for our staff, better show upfor our students and, most
importantly, better show up forour students and, most
importantly, better show up formy family and myself in a more
(04:06):
meaningful way.
But it is now a non-negotiablepart of my day.
As soon as I get done with thisepisode, I am going to be
jumping on the peloton because Ihave to get my movement in for
the day.
So I want us to pause forreflection and think of what is
(04:27):
one thing you can start doingthis week to prioritize your
health, and I want you to writeit down and I want you to make
it happen, because the healthyyou is a better you.
But we have to be intentionalwith our health in 2025.
(04:50):
And before we move into the nexttip, I want to drop my little
ad Be Well Teacher Academy.
It's live and it is designedspecifically for educators who
want to prioritize theirself-care and their well-being.
This year we are starting outstrong.
We have a live virtualexperience on January 26th.
(05:14):
It is going to be myself andthree other super dynamic
wellness professionals andwellness experts and we're going
to be going for two hours onSunday, january 26th.
It is virtual and it is free toeveryone.
That is a part of our community.
We also have monthly self-careworkshops.
We're currently going through a14-day habit-kicking challenge,
(05:36):
so that's going on.
To register for the Januaryevent, visit wwwbewellteachercom
and remember that investing inyourself is the best investment
that you can make.
Jump into tip number two.
Tip number two is buildingstronger boundaries.
Not only do we have to buildthe boundaries, but we have to
(05:58):
maintain and we have to set theboundaries.
So often we will say we aresetting boundaries but we don't
do anything when people stepover them.
So boundaries aren't walls.
But what boundaries are?
They're bridges to a healthy,more balanced life, and as
educators, it is very easy tofeel like we have to say yes to
everything Extra meetings,grading on weekends, emails late
(06:21):
at night, family that keepscoming back and asking for stuff
over and over and over and overagain.
But without boundaries, you aregoing to risk burnout and that
is not helping anyone.
So some ways that we can startsetting and building some
stronger boundaries.
Number one is we have to knowwhat our limits are.
(06:43):
Reflect on what is reallyreally draining your energy and
what's truly necessary.
Maybe it's you're not checkingemails after 6 pm or maybe
you're not taking on everysingle volunteer opportunity
that they ask you.
I always tell educators thisthe reason that some of you have
12 different committees at workis because you keep saying yes
(07:04):
to them.
At some point, you have tostart saying no to things that
you just cannot do.
Number two and this one isimportant we have to communicate
clearly.
Two, and this one is important,important we have to
communicate clearly.
Once you know what those limitsare.
Once you set what those limitsand those boundaries are, you
have to let others know.
For example, you know lettingpeople know.
You know, after 6 pm I'm notgoing to be responding to emails
(07:26):
, but I will make sure I getback to you, you know, the first
day, the next day, as soon as Ipossibly can.
It's important that not only dowe set them but we communicate
the boundaries that we aresetting with, especially with
the people that are important tous your family, your friends,
maybe your supervisor at work,maybe coworkers at work.
Really communicating thoseclearly is absolutely critical.
(07:47):
And then number three you gotto stick to it.
Boundaries only work if youenforce them.
At first people may push back,people may send you another
email, but over time they willlearn to respect your limits.
My phone goes on.
Do not disturb at a certaintime.
At this point.
Nobody really bothers me atthat time because I have really
stuck to my plan of what I willand will not do.
(08:10):
After certain times at my house,certain times at my house and
early on in my career, I thoughtthat saying no meant I wasn't a
team player, that I wasanswering emails late at night,
I was showing up work at six inthe morning.
I was staying till 6 pm takingon every extra project that came
my way.
But then over time I justrealized that that was not
(08:30):
sustainable.
I started setting clearboundaries no work emails.
I'll respond to work emailshere and there, but my phone
goes on.
My phone, pretty much, is on,do not disturb, most of the day,
but after a certain time a lotof stuff is not.
I have set so messages andother stuff will not pop up on
my phone.
And it was hard because yourhabits are to want to check and
(08:52):
look and open up the apps.
But eventually it becomeseasier and you start to adjust.
And not only did theseboundaries protect my time, but
they gave me my mental spacethat I needed to fully show up
everywhere in my life to thebest of my ability ability.
(09:16):
The reflection that I would askfor when we're talking about
setting boundaries is what isone boundary that you can set
this week that's really going toprotect your time and your
energy?
And it's not about beingselfish, it is about being
sustainable in your life.
I always say you know teaching.
If you're a teacher, teachingis temporary.
(09:38):
If you're a principal,principling if that's a word is
temporary.
You know the job that you haveat work is temporary.
So it is important that you doyour best to show up as a mother
, as a parent, as a spouse,because ultimately, one day,
you're not going to be whateveryour title is and if you're
listening to this and you're noteven a teacher, whatever your
title is, in the worldeventually is going to end.
Someone's going to have yourjob, someone's going to have
(10:00):
your desk, someone's going tohave your office, but you are a
parent, you are a husband, youare a wife, you are a friend,
you are a son, you are adaughter, aunt, uncle.
All those titles last muchlonger than teaching does.
So it's important that we dothe best that we can to honor
those.
And tip number three is we gotto invest in personal and
(10:24):
professional growth.
The best version of you in 2025isn't just about surviving,
like we have just beenconditioned as teachers, that
we're just here to survive, andyou are not here to survive.
You are built to thrive, andthriving comes from growth.
That means getting committedand committing to learning,
improving and becoming a betterversion of yourself, both
(10:48):
professionally but, mostimportantly, personally.
And here's a couple things thatyou can start right away to
start 2025.
Number one you have to setgrowth goals.
Like, what goals?
Like, some of us just kind ofwander into the new year without
any intentional goals, like, oh, I'm going to be the best you
know, new year, new me.
(11:13):
But like, what's?
What are some goals that youhave?
What is one skill that you wantto learn this year?
Maybe it's classroom management, maybe it's you know, a new
technique in literacy.
Maybe it's something personal,like I want to learn Spanish
this year because I want to takea trip to Mexico, I want to
learn French.
But whatever it is, you have towrite this goal down and you
have to actually create a planto achieve that goal.
We can't just continue towander into 2025.
(11:37):
We have to be intentional witheverything that we do.
Number two we have to embracefeedback.
Growth requires self-awareness.
You have to be open to feedbackfrom colleagues.
You have to be open to feedbackfrom your students.
You have to be open to feedbackfrom your administration and
you have to be open to feedbackfrom your family and friends.
(12:00):
Use feedback as a tool toimprove, not as a personal
critique that we get defensivewith.
And then, number three, you haveto find your tribe.
You have to surround yourselfwith people who inspire you.
You have to surround yourselfwith people who challenge you.
This could be colleagues atwork.
(12:22):
This could be a mentor.
This could be an onlinecommunity like the Be Well
Teacher Academy.
This could be someone that youmet on social media, someone
that you met at a conferencethat you attended as a teacher.
You have to surround yourselfwith people who inspire you and
challenge you, and not peoplewho poke holes in you and who
make you feel like you are lessthan worthy, who you are less
(12:45):
than deserving of, because youare less than deserving of,
because you are deserving of,all the great things that 2025
has for you.
And you have to stop allowingthe people that are around you
to make you feel like you arenot worthy of that.
And I always think back to a fewyears back, when I felt like I
was stuck in my role and Iwanted to grow, but I wasn't
(13:05):
really sure where to start and Ireally started investing in
myself, um, as a speaker and thespeaking in a speaking
community, and when I joinedthis community, it gave me uh,
it gave me a lot of great ideasas a speaker.
It gave me a lot of greattechniques as how to grow a
(13:25):
speaking business, but, mostimportantly, it's surrounded me
with an online community whichultimately does a lot of stuff
in person of like-minded people.
People that, when times aretough, understand what you're
going through.
People that, when things aregreat, they're clapping and
cheering for you.
I said this on Instagram onthree things we got to let go of
(13:47):
in 2025.
But there are people in yourlife that should be cheering and
clapping for you that aren'tbecause they have a jealous
spirit, and what I started tolearn is that there are people
that cheer louder for me andsupport me stronger than people
I've met in the last few yearsand people I've known for 20
plus years, plus years.
(14:08):
So I want you to really, as weget ready to end this episode, I
want you to really reflect onwhat's one way that you're going
to invest in your growth thisyear.
Are you going to join acommunity?
Are you going to do somepersonal development?
Are you going to join a bookclub?
Whatever it is?
I want you to think about oneway you're going to invest in
your growth this year, but thenI want you to be intentional
with coming up with a plan andhow you are going to do that,
(14:30):
because it is about becoming thebest version of yourself, and I
want to thank you, as always,for joining, for tuning in, for
subscribing If you haven't, Iwant you to make sure you.

And I want you to remember thatprioritizing your health,
(14:53):
setting boundaries and investingin growth are the three steps
to becoming the best version ofyourself this year and again.
Which are you going to startwith?
I want you to write it down, Iwant you to share it with
someone that's important to youand I want you to put it into
action this week.
And I want you to remember that, taking care of yourself and
(15:13):
those around you, you'rebuilding a stronger, more
connected school community.
You're building a stronger,more connected.
You Keep believing in yourstudents, keep believing in your
colleagues.
Most importantly, I want you tokeep believing in yourself.
