The Teacher Mindset Coach

I'm so proud to announce the completion of the first section of the Six Weeks to Summer Program and I'm giving it out for free!

The link is right here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AUDZkcj-tp9xL1SgHCiqzCEVfqzRThRW/view?usp=sharing  

I can't wait to hear what you think and how this has helped you as the summer gets closer and closer.

There's no better time than the present to manage our minds since we know this is the key to feeling how and what we want to feel in our lives.

In this episode, I take you through some of my chosen beliefs that I have debunked as a teacher.  Doing this work has helped me feel so IN LOVE with my job, my campus, my students and the community I serve as the librarian on my campus.

I also take you through more of an explanation of how I can help you, my teachers, as your mindset coach.  

This starts with a mini-session, you talking to me.  Let me help you with one of your biggest problems that you know you can't keep "venting" to your family, your co-workers.  You know you have to talk this through with someone else.  With someone who won't indulge in the drama with you.  Someone who is trained and certified to help you get to the real root of the issue and solve it for good.

We all have those seminars, conferences and workshops that we can't wait to tell everyone about after they are done.
We get so much value.  So much content.  So much info that we want to shout it from the rooftops and share it with the world.
I don't want to share this with the world.  

I want to share this with YOU.

My teachers.  My people.

So, even though this was a conference for Life Coach School Certified Coaches, I'm relaying and relating this information back to my teachers.
Because I know it will benefit you!

Legacy is more than the sum of money a person leaves to their loved ones after they pass on.

In this episode, I'll offer some thoughts, some questions that might help you think differently about the legacy you leave as way MORE that just material possessions or inheritance.  The legacy you leave may also be so much MORE than what your heirs will think or say about you, what they'll remember and what they'll sort through when you're gone.

Perhaps our legacy is only and exactly what we define it as.  And...

here's the kicker...

Maybe your legacy is 100% perfect and good enough, no matter what.

Even when life seems to go by us in a flash, leaving us in the dust with a deer in the headlights look, we can learn how to come back to reality and really take everything in for our benefit.

When we pause to appreciate actively, time can slow down, we can smile to ourselves and life will be that much more rich.

For our episode today about lessons I learned this past week from backyard baseball with my seven year old son, Miles.

There were three profound moments that I’ll be describing to you today.  1) Try again, 2) One small adjustment creates amazing results, and 3) The point is to just believe in yourself.

Children need adults in their lives who create a safe environment for them to mess up repeatedly while the adult is there, observing, confirming and supporting without judgment.

How can we cut the negative connotation in half from the phrase “these trying times” and actually insert some positivity into it?  Namely, with the pandemic we’ve all been living with for the last two years, these could be called “trying times” but we still go on living and we still keep trying.  

The next lesson learned from this small moment in time was how one small adjustment created amazing results.  This showed up in Miles' hits when I was throwing them to him from the chair.  This was such a cool realization for both of us and we didn't let the “waste of time” bother us at all because the results were so awesome.  We didn’t even use the term “waste of time” in regards to the time it took us, the number of throws and misses, that it took us to realize I needed to be tossing the ball up just 6” to the outside. 

These days the word “change” can have a negative connotation to a lot of people.  But “adjust” is compared to seeking comfort, so there can be a positive connotation.  In my baseball example, I didn’t totally change what we were doing, I just make a small adjustment.

How can this phrasing help you in your career as a teacher?

Instead of hitting goals or reaching milestones, which almost insinuates that the work is over when it's reached, let's instead make what stretches us into something that is now a new standard for us.

In this episode, we'll have a new tool and strategy for this very thing.  

I'll also include a free Stretch to Standard Tracker in my latest email newsletter and my FB Group so be sure to include yourself!

Last week, I didn't publish my weekly podcast episode.  

I chose my top two priorities at the same time:
-care for myself
-care for my family

When was the last time you chose yourself and your well-being so intentionally that you had zero guilt after making that decision and things worked out perfectly anyway?

Today, I'll let you in on the process for making these types of decisions; to put yourself first.

I'll reveal how dramatic my brain was about skipping just one little episode.

I'll teach you how I responded and how you can do the same.

I want teachers to feel better.  I want teachers to learn the concepts that helped me grow up and into the person I am today.  A person who believes that burnout has nothing on me.  I laugh in the face of burnout.  Burnout has no face.  Burnout is only a figment of my imagination.  I can obliterate burnout with a firehose or blow it out in a single breath.  That’s the story I tell myself, which helps me feel empowered.  But I’m getting ahead of myself.

You see, I have a very specific view on teacher burnout and, to sum it all up, my stance is that burnout is not something that falls out of the sky and hits you or knocks on our door unexpectedly only to invite itself in.  Burnout is not something that is required or “getting worse every year.”  Burnout has only recently been identified as diagnosable by the American Institute of Stress.  

“The new diagnosis is defined as a “syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions: 1) feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; 2) increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job; and 3) reduced professional efficacy. Burnout refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life.” 

Link to article: https://www.stress.org/burnout-is-now-an-official-medical-condition 

Another online definition of burnout included the word “disengagement” as it described burned out employees not having an interest or motivation in their work anymore.  It seems very definitive, very final.  And disengagement, in my view, is a decision.  Its not something that just happens to us without our permission.

Now, if anyone listening is experiencing something that you feel needs the attention of a professional, I encourage you to make those powerful decisions for yourself.  Talk to your school’s counselor, your district crisis team or your doctor.  I’m a life coach, not a medical professional or therapist.  

So in this episode, you won’t find me retelling a story of how burnout is so awful and only getting worse.  Instead, you’ll probably hear more about how you are the one in charge here.  You are the one who can change your story.  You are the one who creates burnout with the way you choose to think and believe about your current situation.  

There, I said it.  

What we may experience are the symptoms of burnout but no one has one universal definition of what burnout actually is, which is why it’s just a story at the end of the day.  This may sound like I’m belittling or minimizing burnout itself.  Well, actually, that’s my intention.

Y’all.  All week, I’ve been telling myself that I’m doing epic shit.  And the evidence is all around me to prove myself true, to prove my trajectory true, to prove that I’m fulfilling my promise and reaching my most important goals that I’ve chosen for my biggest life.

You might be surprised how simple these goals are.  And if you’ve been listening for a bit, you may even know what my top priority is.  If this is your first time listening, welcome to the podcast!  I’d also love to see you in the free FB group called the Teacher Mindset Coach and feel free to visit my website, www.teachermindsetcoach.com

Be forewarned.  I say the phrase “epic shit” about 11-teen times in this episode.  No, I didn’t actually count but I feel like that could be pretty accurate.  But they’re all appropriately placed so you and I both can do a little fist pump in the air instead of being remotely bothered by it.  LOL

So my week has been super exciting with the delivery of my Dad’s tiny house to our backyard.  I found a barn that was converted into a tiny house while casually scrolling FB marketplace two weeks ago, jumped on the opportunity to purchase it and then had to find a person who would transport it from one backyard to another within seven days.  And I did it.  All went as smoothly as we could have hoped.  And now my husband and I are the proud owners of a cute, farmhouse rustic barndominium that will soon be 100% outfitted and set up for my dad to live inside of so he can be close to our family in his Golden Years.

When we stop to recognize the Epic Stuff we do in our lives, we can’t help but be a little amazed with ourselves.  I mean, really, give yourself some credit, some celebration, some attention, some accolades.  Why do this?  Because its awesome in so many ways.  It helps us feel the appreciation that we may secretly desire from others.  It may affirm our work, our process, our current standings.  And doing this may just help us keep going, keep doing awesome things and become the future person who does more epic shit instead of become stagnant and still.
