Take Care of Yourself

Monday Minute – 11/2/2020

We have now been in school for two to two and half months, I would like to take today’s Monday Minute to remind educators to take care of themselves. This school year has brought about new procedures, policies, and pedagogical methods for most educators if for no other reason than the pandemic. Many educators are finding their stride while others are in ever-changing environments. No matter your situation, I would like to recommend that all educators do a few things for self-care. You can’t fill others if your bucket is empty.

For starters, set yourself a work day (times) whether you are working remotely or in the building. You still need time to be alone and with loved ones, so please set your work day and hold to it as best as possible. If you do this, it will make taking care of yourself easier.

There are also the simple but often overlooked normal self care tips: eat a well-balanced diet, exercise, drink water, get enough sleep. Educator friends please take care of yourselves
