Activity

Juggling the multiple hats we all wear blurs the lines when working for home. We are so busy getting that next cup of coffee to keep us going that we often fail to see that our cup is only half full, and no amount of caffeine will fix our issues. From noon Yoga session from a colleague to using one of the many apps out there that will remind you to stand up and stretch, help us make the most of #SelfCareSeptember by sharing your best secret for staying centered. To help us along the path, the CCSO Association created a video this past May from various 2020 Teachers of Year (YouTube: https://youtu.be/n3pdoe1hfuE). Though these tips are from classroom teachers, their messages are exactly what we all need to hear about self-care during our current Covid-19 crisis.

Do not take self-care to mean self-indulgence. This is about taking action for the most important person in the world to you—YOU! The Ozobot Blog also has a well-researched article on How Educators Can Practice Self-Care. As the Dali Lama said, ” “If you feel “burnout” setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself.”
