RISE for Educators

This week we discuss the ASMR phenomenon. ASMR is currently the second most searched topic on YOUTUBE, so what is it all about? Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response is the physical tingling sensation that begins in your scalp and moves down through the spine to the limbs. This can be triggered by auditory or visual stimulation.  We discuss how it affects people differently, the science behind it, and how you can give it a try for yourself.  Hey, we're in the middle of a Pandemic, why not? 

Let us know what you think!

Today we talk about the science behind gratitude and offer a simple gratitude tool to add to your daily life (no writing required!). Gratitude can support you in your relationships and expand your capacity for joy. Our 3G3 visualization tool inspired by RobScott.com involves taking 3 breaths, visualizing something or someone you are grateful for, and then taking 3 more breaths while holding this gratitude vision in your mind. Give it a try. It's free and available to anyone at any time. Find the visual for this tool and more on our Instagram page riseforeducators and on Twitter @RISEforeducator.

Thank you for listening, we are grateful for you! 🙏 🙌

In this episode, we share a social tool in our RISE system to enhance our social connections to other people by uplifting and empowering them. Choose someone in your life to UPLIFT! An UPLIFTer is someone who Unboxes someone's potential, gives authentic Praise, Listens wholeheartedly, intentionally Includes this person, Features this person when they have an opportunity, and Trusts that this UPLIFTing will manifest in this person even if the results aren't immediately apparent. 

Check out the UPLIFT tool on our Instagram page riseforeducators and on Twitter @RISEforEducator!

In this episode, we discuss the concept of fake it until you make it in terms of facial expressions. Can a smile boost your mood? We discuss the research around the concept of the facial feedback theory and how raising your mood can raise your vibration and spread to others in your presence. Try our good vibes tool this week! We were inspired by Dr. David R. Hawkins and his work., especially his book Letting Go-The Pathway of Surrender.

Today, we have an awesome conversation with Justin Sunseri, host of the Stuck Not Broken Podcast.  Justin is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist that currently works in a school system and who is obsessed with the Polyvagal Theory. Justin talks to us about "The Ladder" analogy of your nervous system and how it affects all of us in a predictable manner every day.  We discuss what it means to feel psychologically safe and how you can be aware of and regulate your own state as well as how you can be a safe person for others. Learn to recognize your patterns of protection and connection and how you can "kick on your safety state". Teachers as safe people have the power to impact individual students every day. Check out the work of Dr. Stephen Porges and Deb Dana for more learning about the polyvagal theory.  Connect with Justin on his website justinlmft.com or on Instagram at justinlmft.
