Educators, Let's Get Real

In today's episode we talk about the idea of abundance and scarcity mindset. Abundance is all about thinking that other people's success doesn't mean you have failed. Scarcity is all about the idea that there isn't enough to go around. 

Today we expand on last week's conversation about gratitude. We talk a bit more about the brain science and why happiness is our choice. Then we talk about the power of silver linings. 

Last week we encouraged you to look at your schedule and decide if it matched your priorities. While we have made strides in doing this, we are far from perfect. When we realize that something didn't go the way we planned, it's easy to get caught up in the negative self talk. Join us today as we explore the destructive nature of this self talk and how you can combat it in your own life. 

We are all busy, but making a plan for our day ensures that we get done the things that are the biggest on our to do and priority list. Today we talk about how we can match our roles and values and align it with our schedule. Listen in for today's challenge! We're doing this right along with you. 

Listen in to how we break down goals. Goals give us guidance in our lives. We need to have different types of goals to ensure we are living up to our fullest potential. Listen in as we continue on the journey of self discovery.

That question from Episode 1 "Who are you outside spouse, parent, and educator?" we dig deeper into today. Understanding who you are helps you understand your values. Then take a minute to reflect on your weekly schedule, do your values match your schedule?

Today we talk all about the Enneagram. This is just a brief introduction to the Enneagram and how it helps us better understand ourselves. You can certainly dig deeper. Here are some resources that we have used in our journey. We are not affiliated with any of these resources and we get no sponsorship from them. They are tools that we have used and enjoyed.
