I teach mindfulness meditation sessions to manage stress. I am excited about this community and am looking forward to learning more about wellness.
As educators, it's easy to put everyone else first. But your wellness matters, too. Whether you're focusing on better sleep, setting boundaries, practicing mindfulness, or just drinking more water, share one way you're taking care of yourself and how it's going so far this year.
Choose one of the 8 dimensions of wellness to focus on this month. Set a small, achievable goal and track your progress weekly. Feel free to share which dimension you choose below.
The first session is live tonight, and available on demand by tomorrow: Eight Dimensions of Wellness. Learn more: https://sharemylesson.com/webinars/eight-dimensions-educator-wellness

I'm super interested in all topics related to health and wellness for myself and all my students. In particular, stress management seems super essential for all of us to effectively relate to our lives.
What is your school district doing to take care of your health and well-being?
My son's school is extending the Thanksgiving break by two additional days to give staff a longer break.
My school checks in with us frequently about our mental health. We have started a teacher newsletter and some in-person social gatherings. Personally, I'm trying to get outside in nature several times per week!

C. As fit as before
I am more fit because I went KETO last year in November and dropped 35 pounds.
Wow, 35 pounds is a lot! Now the challenge is to keep it off, right?

Name one relationship skill that is an area for growth for you.
Really Listening to students when they talk and want to share.
I am good at connecting with common interests. I love graphic novels and so do a lot of my students.
I love to laugh with my students and be a tad silly so they know I an only human!
I chose environmental because the spaces we surround ourselves with have a huge impact on our well-being. I thrive in environments that make me feel comfortable and happy—whether it’s calming aesthetics, good lighting, or just a positive atmosphere. I’m definitely a ‘vibes’ kind of guy, so this dimension resonated with me the most. When my surroundings feel right, I feel more energized, focused, and at ease.
