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

We are working now more than ever and we really need to take the time to care for ourselves.
Very true!
So true ...
Put on your oxygen mask first, so that you can help others...
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!
The concept of just breathing has given me a better understanding of self reflect/assess on what is most important now-"Protect your Peace". As the summer progress remember to -"Protect and Enjoy Your Peace". This has become my mantra. What will become yours ?
I love this, Marilyn!
I make sure to stop working as close to the end of the school day as possible. It's not always possible, but I try to remind myself I can get back at the work in the morning. Teachers have a tendency to take a lot of work home and stay late after school, but I try to make sure to leave enough time to relax, spend time with family, and recharge with my favorite crafts/hobbies/movies!
Walking outside
Working out everyday & eating more healthier.
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.
