RISE for Educators

This week we discuss the different relationship patterns that we all have. Are you secure, anxious, dismissive, or fearful in your relationships? You are most likely a combination.  When you recognize how you are responding to others in your life, you are also able to recognize how others are responding to you. Use our tool to uplevel your relationships and your life!

Find our tool on our Instagram page, and on Twitter at RISEforeducator.

Today we talk about the importance of self-compassion. We explore what giving yourself compassion looks like on a daily basis by speaking kindly to yourself, asking your inner critic voice to be gentle, and treating yourself as you would a close friend. We offer a tool to comfort yourself when you are experiencing difficult emotions. The tool walks you through mindfulness, a sense of common humanity, and love. Our tool can be found on our Instagram page riseforeducators and on Twitter @RISEforeducator

In this episode, we discuss how to recognize and cope when you are headed down your polyvagal ladder. In other words, when an event triggers you in your life, how do you respond? Do you go into fight or flight mode, do you shut down completely or are you able to stay calm and carry on? These are normal responses to daily stressful events in our lives. This episode is about planning ahead for these inevitable events by creating your own personal RISE kit. Decide ahead of time how you will regulate yourself. How will you reset your body, your inner voice, your social connections, and your environment to best support yourself?

This week is about choosing an area in your life to improve upon and then creating a habit to support it. We refer to Shawn Achor's book The Happiness Advantage and his principle # 5 -The Zorro Circle. By choosing a small area in your life to improve and focusing on just that, you gain a sense of control and a feeling of empowerment. We refer to the wonderful Justin Sunseri and his Stuck Not Broken Podcast about how we sometimes get stuck in our thinking, our behaviors, and our habits. So, draw your Zorro Circle, create a new habit, get unstuck, and RISE! 

What habit did you choose? Let us know- [email protected]

This week we use our personal calendars as raw data to reflect on our lives and on our internal state. We use writing as a tool to draw out our emotions and desires for the coming year. We take time to honor ourselves and our lives here on Earth, just as we are. We end by crafting a word or a phrase to guide us and act as a lens to view and elevate our daily life events. We quote "The Book of Joy" by Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu and mention Russell Brand and his YouTube channel.  You can find us and the tool for this episode on our Twitter page @RISEforeducator and on our Instagram at riseforeducators.
