Learn why it is so important to stay hydrated if you want to stay on top of your game at home and at work. When you are mildly to severely dehydrated, your body goes into a stress response. Your brain drains water from your other organs, causing them to slow down and be sluggish. Your decision-making capacity is compromised. You will be more irritable, and your emotions will feel more brittle.

Something as simple as drinking enough watch to be fully hydrated can make all the difference in the world. Just try it for a few weeks (a few days won't be long enough to see the benefits).

For more information about how to stay hydrated and learn other important facts about stress and its proper management, download a free ebook at https://teachersintransition.com/ebook.

Stress is a fact of life for everyone, but sometimes, we may feel more stressed out and overwhelmed than other times. Even happy events like planning a wedding or preparing for a new baby can create stress. And then there are the sad events like loss of a loved one, a broken relationship, and financial problems that can cause us to feel stressed out, too.

There is a continuum that most people fall along at different points in their lives. I offer a free stress assessment tool to help people do a self-assessment. Answer the 32 questions on the questionnaire. If you answer 10 or fewer questions with a "yes," your stress is in the "normal" range. Anything higher than 10 "yes" answers should be noted, and the higher the number, the more concerned you should be.

Starting a job search can be a daunting process for anyone. It is especially complex if you are leaving one career and need to undertake another. This podcast and this episode in particular is addressed to teachers who are experiencing burnout and are thinking of leaving the profession in pursuit of something new. The trouble is that most teachers don't know what they might be qualified to do or even what they would want to do. Over the years that I have been working with career changers, I have discovered that the #1 challenge of every job seeker or career changer is answering the question, "What do you want to do next?" or "What now?"

Kitty Boitnott, Ph.D., NBCT, RScP has been working with burnt out teachers since 2013. She helps with stress and stress management and she helps with career transition. To learn what the #1 challenge of every job seeker is regardless of your current career, listen to this episode of "Teachers in Transition."

Bad stress --distress--can make you sick if you don't learn to manage it and relieve it. This episode of Teachers in Transition offers what stress is and how to start managing it proactively with a new mindset and a positive affirmation. Stress Management Coach and Career Transition and Job Search Coach, Dr. Kitty Boitnott, talks about stress and where it starts in this 2nd episode of a new YouTube and podcast episode (Episode 2) of "Teachers in Transition."
