Mindful Monday: You Have Permission

May is no joke. The to-do lists are long, the stress is high, and the fatigue is real. 

There is no need to run yourself into the ground this last month of school with the thought that as soon as June 2nd hits, then I can rest and take care of myself. I am completely guilty of making myself crazy the last month of school with the thought that I'll relax when summer rolls around. But really, how good am I to my family and my students if I'm exhausted or overwhelmed? Not to mention, why do I knowingly make myself miserable? 

End the year on a positive note both for your students and for yourself.  Give yourself permission to do any and all of the following as you see fit. 

I officially give you permission to give yourself grace and do what you need to do to make it to the end in one piece. 

The end is in sight. We've got this!
