The beginning of the year starts out so great. New students, fresh eyes, new problems, stronger because of the year before, then it's the end of the year and the rock you've been carrying now seems so heavy! It wasn't this hard before!!!

The reason?

You haven't given yourself the proper rest, if any. Sure, you've taken a personal day in the last 10 years Sure, you got 8 hours of sleep last night, sure you had your kale drink this morning.

But....

.... have you given yourself a break from your inner critic?

This episode shares expertise from Dr. Aimie Apigian, as well as wisdom from Kristin Neff.

This episode could provide you the awareness necessary to make a small shift that could change everything for you.

Remember: You are doing better than you think you are!

You ready for a VERY significant mind shift? Was "Do your best" a phrase that seemed like it should have helped you more than it did? Or is it a phrase that you wish meant more to your students than it does?

This episode incorporates the Common Humanity component of self-compassion in that it can release all the pressure that comes from the phrase "Do your best". Ironically, once that pressure is lifted, we actually do better. Crazy huh!?!?!?

If I don't respond quickly, please replay to your original message so I can see it better; my mind can be pretty scattered sometimes.

You've heard the ol' adage 'drinking from a firehose'. Well, as humorous as we try to make it, it could actually be the source of trauma.

If we don't have time to rest and reset when provided new information and are given more information before we've even had a chance to process the first, it could be creating too much too fast.

This isn't saying slow everything down so we don't progress. No. Not at all. What I'm (or more accurately Dr Aimee) saying is the right amount of stress is actually necessary for our progression, but too much too fast can hinder it drastically.

This episode is inspired by an idea from Tara Brach. She says that Self-compassion is embracing reality with kindness. This episode has words from Kristin Neff that describes Equanimity, which is basically gaining the understanding of what is in our control and what isn't. Its finding that balance.

This episode provides some examples to clarify what it can look like for you as a teacher to embrace reality with kindness. You don't have to decide if you are a good teacher or a bad teacher.

No matter what day you are having, your students need YOU!

What do you think of first when you see or hear IEP. Well, this episode will provide you with something new and even more exciting. We talk about teacher burnout, real-life teacher struggles, and small steps a teacher can take to feel more connected to themselves and to their classroom.

When someone told me about self-compassion, I thought I had it made because I was soooooo good at telling myself the things I wished I believed about myself. Turns out it was the NOT helpful way to use Positive Affirmations.

This episode provides clarity around the differences between self-compassion,positive affirmations as well as toxic positivity.

Hopefully you can learn this lesson quicker than I did!!!

It's VERY likely that your inner critic is negatively impacting you more than you know. This episode has some of Kristin Neff's findings and thoughts on the inner critic and how self-compassion can reverse those negative affects.

I also provide an easy example that can help you better apply the tool of self compassion to yourself and to your teaching so you can stop spending your energy on things that won't actually get you what you want.
