Happy September, friends! I am happy to be back to share my teacher thoughts with you. In this episode, I'll update you on my past few months and discuss how I have been shifting my narrative about this school year with Progressive Positivity.

Sometimes we look for answers to our problems in the wrong place. We try to manipulate our environment and become more organized or prepared when that is not the root cause of our constant stress. Break the cycle with me!

We feel like this all of the time. Life as a teacher is so busy that by 8am our brains are totally overloaded--full. Overwhelm is our best friend. There is a tool that you can use today to slow down your mind and help things to feel more manageable.

Many times we keep showing up and repeating patterns that we hate--in our career, health habits, relationships, etc. We do things knowing that we don't really want to do them. This makes no sense, but we all do it. Why? Are we destined to be stuck?

The sand is calling my name! Spring Break is giving me a sneak peek into the upcoming summer.  I'm excited for the beach, but there is going to be much more to my summer than overdue needed vacation and relaxation time. I am ready to go after some big goals. Want to join me?! Let's go!

This is my birthday episode!! Woohoo! Episode 33 on 3/30 @ 3:30. 

Throughout the past 30 years, I have gotten a lot of practice complaining about what I don't want to do. Now, I'm shifting to speaking out loud (in the shower, apparently) about what I really want, and you should too!

Sometimes thoughts come along that really pump us up. I have had a recurring thought this week that has been helping me so much! This episode is short and sweet. <3

Many of us have goals that we never actually pursue--dreams that stay in our heads. Moving towards any type of change starts with our thoughts. In this episode, I open up about one of my ugly core beliefs that has been holding me back. 

In this episode, we explore the idea of spending versus investing time. If you feel unhappy with your relationship with time or just feel like you never have enough of it, this will help! Teachers, moms, humans with brains--Ep. 30 is for you!

Do your personal kids or school kids know how to be the bosses of their own brains? Investing a little bit of time in teaching them to manage their thoughts can cut down on SO MUCH DRAMA. If my 4-year-old can do it, your 4th grader can too!
