Teach Me Balance

My teacher taught me how to learn efficiently, and to also rest for a healthy life style. -Lonnie

We often feel like we are running behind and not able to get through everything. That leaves us feeling like the tank is running on empty. It is hard to refill when you playing catchup.  

Imagine how hard it is the for the students.  There are a good number that have their act together but the majority are just trying to stay above water.  

This is a great time for us to help them find the balance and build habits so they don’t crash and burn.  It is also a great time for us to remind ourselves not overdo it or neglect our health.  

Ultimately, time will march on, the students will learn and the year will end a success. That will all happen whether we kill ourselves trying to keep up or not.  

Now there is no reason to stop doing what needs to be done but we need to make sure we are taking enough time for ourselves to recoup as well as planning better to get the most out of our time.  

We also need to model that for our students.  Plan a brain break today and make it fun.  It might just win the day for you.
