Mindful Monday: Pace Yourself

If you remotely identify with this sentiment, then you're not alone. However, I can't help but to think that maybe we're doing it all wrong. 

Teaching is a profession where there is always something to be done. The to-do list is never ending, literally...never ending! 

We are three weeks in with 33 weeks to go. We must pace ourselves and make peace knowing that our best is enough. There comes a point where we have to prioritize what to do and what we want for our students. 

They don't need us to be perfect. 

They need us to be happy. 

They need us to be well rested. 

They need us to be excited to be here. 

So, as we start another week, prioritize your lists. Be sure you are at the top of that list. And remind yourself that your best is in fact enough!
