TT: Make Time for You
Teacher tip: Take time to do things for you. Nourish your body, your mind and your spirit. We, teachers, are nurturers. But to do our best teaching, we have to be well-taken care of. Read for pleasure, make dates to see friends, indulge in a hobby and move your body.

Balanced in Year Seven
Whenever I think of my first few years of teaching, water comes to mind.
My first year, I struggled to keep my head above water. I went to work early, I stayed late and yet, I still felt I could drown at any moment.
My second year, I still struggled, but from the vantage point of having my toroso above water.
By my third year, I was finally learning to swim. The shore was both in sight and in reach. That was the year I embarked on a campaign to reclaim my life from teaching. And that I did. I rode my bike to and from work-- often dropping pieces of my day along the way. I started yoga. I made dates during the week, enjoyed a few happy hours and once again started to read for pleasure.
Teaching can and will consume you if you allow it. I have learned to be organized and resourceful enough to be able to leave workfor the most part at work. There is also an emotional/mental component that is challenging especially when you work with children with complex home lives, but that is for another post. So for now in year seven, I am especially grateful for balance.
Love,
Miss M
