As a teacher, it can be really difficult to learn boundaries that protect your time, energy and focus. Non-negotiables are the first step to setting boundaries. By imagining yourself as a battery, you can get a clear idea of the people, activities and events that drain you, and the ones that rejuvenate you. These are your non-negotiables and will help you to protect your teacher wellbeing and thrive in teaching.

What you will learn in this episode:

 What non-negotiables are

 How little actions can make a big difference to your wellbeing

 How to let teaching take a backseat

 The positive impact non-negotiables can have on your teaching

You will want to take some time to make a list of what brings you joy and what may drain you of energy. Reflect on what small changes you can make to reduce the drain and increase the joy. When you do non-negotiables the right way, you get to enjoy both teaching and your life beyond the classroom too.
