Are you feeling overwhelmed? In this episode of The Balanced Educator Podcast, we share powerful strategies to ditch overwhelm and regain balance in both your personal and professional life.

We discuss how we, as teachers, often create feelings of overwhelm ourselves and how shifting our perception—rather than the situation itself—can help us regain calm. This practice takes time, but it’s one of the most effective ways to feel more in control. We also share 3 actionable steps to shift your perception and reduce stress.

By cultivating mindfulness and becoming aware of our emotions, we can catch ourselves before overwhelm takes over. We also discuss how to teach children about perception using a simple visual exercise to help them manage their emotions more effectively.
