Morning Motivation for Educators

In this episode of "Morning Motivation for Educators," I discuss the importance of setting intentions at the start of the school year to enhance our teaching experience and well-being. Drawing from my personal journey with burnout, I encourage educators to reflect on how they want to feel this year, shifting focus from traditional goals to emotional well-being. I share my anchor word, "peace," and offer practical strategies for cultivating tranquility in our classrooms. We explore how maintaining an internal sense of calm can help us navigate challenges more gracefully. I invite listeners to choose their own guiding word for the year and introduce resources, including my book, "The Path of the Mindful Teacher," to support self-care as a cornerstone of effective teaching.
