Many people go to work each day feeling like they are on this never-ending treadmill with no real direction in life. As an educator for over 10 years, I can honestly say that my day to day is never boring and never without a greater purpose. Having said that though, I do need to find time to balance my home and work life because I know that I need to bring my best me to work each day, because my kids deserve all of me. So how do we find that balance? I will share some of my tips and tricks with you and hope that you can find that balance in your life.
Tips and Tricks
1. Remind yourself daily why you do what you do and for who you do it.
2. Think about what you accomplished for that day instead of thinking about all that you have yet to finish.
3. Surround yourself with positive people and make time for them, they make you happy and keep you sane!
4. Find time for you, even if it's just 15 minutes. Take that walk, grab that coffee, chit chat with a colleague. Do it because you like it and do it every day!
5. Love your students like they are your own kids. Be there for them, push them to do their best and model what you expect for them always. When your students are loving your classroom and learning, you feel great and when you feel great you can do great things!
Happy Teaching and Loving Life!
