Teachers Who Thrive

Stop playing that martyr role!  This episode will help you recognize when your straying too far down the martyr continuum and help you realign you back to a balanced self.  Students need us to be healthy, happy and well rested to do our jobs!  

Let's talk about things that make you happy?  What are the things that bring you energy?  What are the things that deplete your energy?  Let's make sure we are doing more of the energy bringing things than the energy zapping ones.  Consider how you can discover what makes your student's happy and what are ways that you can bring that into the classroom?

Here is that hilarious pleasant activities list!

Teachers thrive and students thrive when there are strong feelings of connection.  Social connection is a biological need and we need each other to thrive.  Lack of connection to others can leave you feeling isolated, depressed, anxious and burnout.  This episode will encourage you to work on connecting with your colleagues, parents, students and help build a strong community in your school.  

"What you think is how you feel"  What????

It's true.  

If you want to change how you feel, you have to change your thinking.  You are in control.  You have the power to decide what to think.

Join in as I talk about interpreting our thoughts, interrupting our thoughts, challenging them and recognizing distorted thinking patterns.  

This episode is all about learning how to monitor and change your thinking patterns.

Listen in and discover ways you can increase your positive thoughts while decreasing your negative thoughts.
