The 3? R’s of a Teacher’s Summer
Ah, another school year coming to a close.
I know you all can’t wait for summer.
Time to rest, recharge, and reset for the next school year only a short three months away.
That’s what I call the 3 R’s of Summer: REST, RECHARGE and RESET.
REST – let your body rest, relax and rejuvenate through self-care routines. Dial back your “go-go-go” mode and tune in to a “resting” heart rate free from stress and overexertion.
RELAX – chill out and let go of all those coulda, woulda, shoulda’s from your school year brain and mentality. Nothing is “on fire”, “urgent” or “needs immediate attention”.
RESET – do things that will bring on a general reset on your life in order to get back to equanimity, balance and a more leveled path to travel rather than riding the ups and downs of a roller-coaster of a school year.
Actually, I think there are a few other essential “R”s beside these obvious ones.
What could those be?
