Have you found yourself lying in bed at night, exhausted but scrolling endlessly on your phone?
We give all of our time and energy to our students, our families, and our endless to-do lists, leaving nothing for ourselves. So, instead of resting, we stay up late trying to reclaim just a little bit of “me time.”
In this episode, I want to flip the script on self-care for teachers. It’s not something you need to “earn” or squeeze in on the weekends with a bubble bath or a massage (though those are great, too!). True self-care is about managing teacher stress in real time, creating small moments of mindfulness throughout the day, and learning how to increase self-awareness so you can recognize stress before it takes over. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s necessary.
I’ll also share simple mindfulness exercises and a body scan meditation to help you increase your self-awareness and recognize stress before it takes over. Plus, I’ll guide you through breathing exercises for stress and practical strategies on how to prevent teacher burnout, so you can feel calmer, more in control, and actually enjoy your time without feeling guilty.
It’s time to rethink self-care, create habits that truly restore your energy, and give yourself permission to put your well-being first. Tune in now!
Stay empowered,
Jen
